Extended first-home buyers grant welcome news, say agents

A DECISION by the Federal Governmentto extend the First Home Owners Boost(FHOB) for a further six months is welcomenews for local buyers.

The grant, to be extended until December31, will be reduced by half for the last threemonths of the extension period.

For eligible first homebuyers entering intocontracts between July 1, 2009 andSeptember 30, 2009 (inclusive) the FHOBwill continue to provide $7000 for thepurchase of established homes and $14,000for the purchase of new homes.

This means that including the $7000 FirstHome Owner’s Grant, until September 30purchasers of new homes will continue to beeligible for $21,000 of assistance andpurchasers of existing homes will continue tobe eligible for $14,000 of assistance.

From October 1, the FHOB will be halvedto $3500 for the purchase of an establishedhome, and $7000 for the purchase of a newhome.

Brendan Leahy from Brendan Leahy RealEstate said the new announcement shouldtake some pressure off first homebuyerstrying to secure a property before June 30.

“Buying a home is a major financial

decision and this extension will mean thatfirst homebuyers can take more time to finda home and organise the necessary finance,’’he said.

“It is hoped that the extension of theFHOB will give further momentum to thelocal property market which is an importantemployer in WA.’’

Peard Real Estate CEO Peter Peard saidthe extension of the FHOB would givestability to the lower end of the housingmarket.

“In particular, the FHOB has allowed many

first home buyers to enter the housingmarket over the last six months and itsextension will ensure that many more havethe opportunity to purchase/build a homeduring 2009,’’ he said.

“There are already signs of animprovement in the overall real estatemarket and the FHOB has been an importantinterim measure in ‘kick starting’ the lowerend of the property market during verychallenging times.”

REIWA deputy president David Airey saidthe Government has made an accurate and

overall assessment of the property market intheir decision to extend the FHOB foranother six months.

“This decision will benefit the propertyindustry greatly and have tremendous flow-on effects to those in the business ofservicing the property industry such assolicitors, financiers, valuers, removalists anda range of trade’s people,’’ he said.

Mortgage Choice welcomes the FHOBextension and said it should stimulate activityin the building and construction sectors.

Local loan consultant for Mortgage ChoiceCathy Poole said moves that helped WestAustralians meet the challenges of propertyownership and improve consumer sentimentare to be applauded.

“The extended boost to the FHOB willcertainly bring a smile to the faces of firsthomebuyers,’’ she said.

“The ABS housing finance figures forMarch saw loans for the construction ofdwellings grow by 13.9 per cent and by 8.8per cent for the purchase of new dwellings.

“This impressive result demonstrates thepositive effect that Federal and Stategovernment stimulus and incentives have hadon the market.’’ ■

REVIEWSTLC transformed quaint Claremont home

IT is amazing what a little tenderlove and care can do.

This character home inClaremont was in desperate need ofa makeover since the 1960s andnow is one of the area’s best keptsecrets.

Nestled along a beautiful tree-lined street, the home is only a one-minute drive to Swanbourne andClaremont shopping districts.

Extensive renovations, whichbegan in 2005, saw the replacementof the roof, ceiling, plumbing andelectrics.

However, the original polishedfloorboards were maintained tocreate a wonderful feature of thehome.

The quaint house with largeveranda and manicured low-maintenance gardens has stunningstreet appeal. Inside the home hasfour spacious bedrooms and twoand a half bathrooms with stylishtravertine floors.

The white kitchen with ample

storage space overlooks the livingareas and courtyard.

It features Caesar stone benchtops, quality stainless-steelappliances and a commercial-styleoven, which is fantastic for the chefof the home. The owners said thehome was ideal for families whoenjoyed entertaining.

Among the many celebrationsheld at the house was a 70thbirthday dinner for 50 guests, 18thcocktail party and 25th high schoolreunion.

All areas of the home flowbeautifully and exude a classicelegance.

The family/study area withattractive real-flame gas fireplace isthe perfect place to unwind with abook and a cup of hot chocolate ona chilly winter’s evening.

For added convenience andcomfort, the home features ductedreverse-cycle airconditioning,security alarm, 3.25m ceilings andheaps of storage space. ■

This one’s impossible to fault

IT is impossible to fault this impeccableresidence. From the cul-de-sac, park-frontlocation to the stunning, highest qualityfinishes, this is a home that oozes style, yetalso is surprisingly warm and welcoming.

The park in question is the very tranquilGenders Park at the top end of MosmanPark, just minutes from the river andChidley Golf Course.

The brilliant design of this brand newtwo-storey home has captured the parkoutlook from nearly every room, while acombination of bi-fold doors, decking andbalconies further merge the green spacewith the home.

Internally the attention to detail andquality of craftsmanship has resulted in ahouse that has the ‘wow’ factor at everyturn.

Marble floors flow throughout theground level, while a sweeping staircase

with a very contemporary steel balustradeleads to the second level. Here there isanother sitting room, a fabulous mastersuite and two equally spacious bedrooms.

All bedrooms have ensuite bathroomsand they are simply exquisite, with beautifulmarble tiles and single-piece flooring, pluscontemporary European fixtures.

Plantation shutters fold back from frenchdoors in all the upstairs rooms, allowingaccess to a full-length balcony overlookingthe park.

Back downstairs the kitchen is superblyequipped with Gagganeu appliances,including a coffee machine built into a wallof cabinetry covered in LaminexSandalwood, a striking real-timber laminatethat features throughout the home.

The second ground-floor living areaopens onto a fabulous alfresco spacedecked in Sumatran teak boards that

surround a heated lap pool and spa. Thefully equipped outdoor kitchen comescomplete with pizza oven, outdoorcommercial fridge, Waldorf grill andstainless cabinetry.

One final feature is the guesthouse – acompletely self-contained cottage at thefront, which is as immaculately fitted out asthe main residence. ■

Also available is a $1.1million, two-storey, two-bedroom apartment, anda $1.39 million three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.

Time Conti Property consultant PaulConti said the prospect of capital growthfor Ocean Edge was very strong.

“Given the fact Australians love coastalliving, Ocean Edge offers the ultimate inluxury at a negotiable price that representsoutstanding value,” he said.

“The three apartments are the jewels inthe crown of this newly completeddevelopment and I expect them to bequickly snapped up by astute buyers.

“The boom times made it difficult to

purchase property because there wasrelatively little to choose from and in manycases buyers had to pay more than theasking price.

However, Paul says now the buyer is“king” and they can now drive thenegotiation.

All apartments are finished toexceptional standards and have directaccess to the complex’s swimming pool.

Ocean Edge Apartments are open forinspection every Saturday and Wednesdaybetween noon-3pm.

REVIEWS

High on the hill, a house that art deco dreams are made of

HIGH on the hill in Floreat is this simplystunning example of 1930’s art decoarchitecture. Beautifully restored and with animpeccably designed extension, this home ischock full of classic art deco features, bothoriginal and replicated.

The current owners’ passion for art decois evident in every detail. From the classiccurved entry to the leadlight doors andwindows, the original features at the front ofthe home have been fastidiously restored.

The choice of new lighting, including classicpendants typical of the era, draws the eye tothe ceilings where the original cornices areworks of art. Extending the home without

losing the art deco character may have been achallenge but the end result is a seamlessaddition that shows meticulous attention todetail.

Floorboards flow seamlessly into the newkitchen and living area that opens on to atimber deck through two sets of timberframed glass doors.

The palate of colours in the kitchen onceagain is reminiscent of the art deco era butthe appliances are well and truly high quality21st century.

This light-filled rear extension looks over agenerous back yard set up for family living.Adults can relax on the deck by the fish pond

and water feature while the children frolic inthe salt water, solar heated pool or play inthe cubby house. Wine replenishments canbe retrieved from the huge wine cellar andcitrus trees and frangipanis complete thepicture perfect atmosphere.

A jarrah staircase leads to the romanticupstairs lounge and master suite wherebeautiful ceiling cornices and more fabulouslighting choices capture the 1930s once again.

A generous walk-in wardrobe has built-inblackwood cabinetry and the entire upstairsarea enjoys panoramic views of the Perth cityskyline through traditional timber framedwindows. ■

LUXURY LIVINGThe benchmark in bench tops

THE bench top is where all the actionhappens in the kitchen, so when it comes tochoosing the best surface, it's best to choosewisely.

Wayne Cook of the Alternative KitchenCompany has been designing kitchens andspecifying bench tops of all types for nearly20 years and says that every surface has itsown strengths and weaknesses.

“I'll give clients advice about what aparticular surface is like but it really dependson what look they want,” Mr Cook said.

“As a general rule I wouldn't recommendstone for a light coloured surface and I

wouldn't do acrylic in a dark colour.”Formed from volcanic magma, granite has

the second highest hardness rating afterdiamonds and comes in stunning patternsand colours.

According to Mr Cook, while granite isstrong and durable it is a natural product andcan crack from thermal stress so avoidplacing hot pots directly on it.

Engineered Stone is a mixture of over 90per cent quartz particles with a nonporous,scratch resistant surface, and re-constitutedor engineered stone is a very popular choice.

Top brands include Caesar stone and

Silestone and all claim to be stain resistant,heat resistant and extremely durable.

Other alternatives include marble, solidtimber, stainless steel, laminate and acrylic.

“Stainless steel is fantastic and of all thesurfaces so far it is the only one you can puta hot pot on,” Mr Cook said.

“But stainless steel is not a pristineproduct, it has to be worked, scratched andscoured. The harder it is worked the betterit looks.

“Laminate bench tops are still the leastexpensive and most versatile optionavailable, but laminate is neither heat nor

scratch proof. High gloss laminate in

particular shows scratches easily so it's best

to avoid dark colours.’’

If you can’t decide what to go with,

another option is to mix mediums and have

stainless steel as a workbench and stone

elsewhere. Or wood for a breakfast island

and granite around the sink.

The options are endless.
