OCTOBER has certainly been aneventful month for the real estateindustry.
First, there was a big fall in interestrates, which helped lift consumerconfidence in the rather sluggishproperty market.
This was followed by the FederalGovernment’s boost in the FirstHome Owners Grant, which provideda much-needed catalyst to kick-startboth new and existing home sales.
In addition, last week, WATreasurer Troy Buswell cut land taxby an average of 7 per cent.
Mr Buswell said the tax cuts wouldbenefit people in the rental market, aswell as landowners.
These conditions will undoubtedlyhelp to breathe new life into Perth’sproperty market. It will be interestingto see where we are at by the end ofthe year.

When complete in 2011, BeachsideLeighton will feature 150 residentialapartments, a world-class 96-roomboutique hotel and a vibrant villagecomprising 2000sqm of restaurants,cafes and retailers.

NEWS
LAST December, the first stage inMirvac’s multi-million dollar BeachsideLeighton development on one of Perth’siconic beaches sold like hot cakes.
Will history repeat itself when thesecond stage is released next month?
Construction is under way on thelandmark $500 million Beachside Leightonmixed-use development, following theunprecedented success of the first release,which sold out in just 48 hours.
Buyers bought up to $190 million worthof property when the first release of 48premium residential apartments and 12luxury penthouses was launched.
With construction on stage one nowunder way, Mirvac WA chief executive
officer Evan Campbell said this was anexciting time in the evolution of BeachsideLeighton.
“The response to this project has beenphenomenal and we are expecting interestwill only heighten, in line with the increasedlevel of activity on-site,’’ he said.”
Mr Campbell said the majority of buyerswere baby boomers and retirees looking todownsize to an apartment. Many were fromsurrounding exclusive suburbs likePeppermint Grove, Swanbourne andMosman Park.
“They are looking for the convenience ofapartment living, but don’t want tocompromise on quality or spaciousness,and they want the lifestyle benefits offered
by a beachside apartment in closeproximity to a range of amenities,’’ he said.
“We have already received expressionsof interest for the second stage, and areexpecting it to follow on from the successof stage one.”
Seven terrace homes and a 270sqmcommercial premise will also be developedas part of the first stage, which is due forcompletion in the second half of 2010.
The second, and final, release ofresidential apartments is expected to comeon to the market in late November.
For further information or to place anexpression of interest for stage two,contact Mirvac on 9424 9999 or visitwww.beachsideleighton.com.au. ■
Grant increases prompt return to market for first home buyersRECENT initiatives from theFederal and State Governmentshave given Perth’s propertymarket new hope.
While Prime Minister KevinRudd’s First Home OwnersGrant boost will give homebuyers the kick-start they need,WA Treasurer Troy Buswell’smove to cut land tax is goodnews for landowners andrenters.
Mr Rudd has promised totriple the $7000 first homebuyers grant for new homesand double it for existing housepurchases until June 30 nextyear.
REIWA president Rob Druittsaid it might still be early days,
but there has already been anincrease in the number of firsthome buyers looking at displayhomes on weekends.
“Many have probably beenholding off buying, hoping priceswill come down further,” hesaid.
“The huge cash incentivefrom the Government and thereduction and further fallspredicted in interest rates areclear signals that the bottomend of the market is now likelyto level out or have someupside from first home buyerdemand.
“Signals for first home buyerssuggest now is the right time tobuy.”
Scott Banister-Jones, fromPerth Property People said hehad noticed more first homebuyers looking for inner-cityapartments.
“These are more affordableand can be used as a stepping-stone to their future home,’’ hesaid.
“I am confident that themarket will improve gradually,but I don’t see a huge spike insales any time soon.
“I believe the First HomeOwners Grant will tempt morebuyers into the market,especially those waiting to seehow the market reacts to thefinancial crisis. This may lead toan increase in sales in
properties in the under-$500,000 mark.”
While the increased grantmoney will have a positiveimpact on first home buyeractivity, Mr Druitt said it wasunlikely to have a significantimpact on the middle and topend of the market.
“This will need furthersubstantial interest rate fallsand a return in confidence fromimprovements in the worldfinancial markets,” he said.
Last week, Mr Buswell cutthe State’s annual land tax by anaverage of seven per cent andsaid similar cuts would be madeto the metropolitan regionimprovement tax.
Leighton looks for encoreWill the second stage release of Beachside Leighton meet with the same feverish responsefrom buyers as the first stage, which sold out in just 48 hours?
TOP PROPERTY TIPS FOR TODAY5THIS week
executivedirector ofThe MortgageGallery, RyanDhue, shareshis top tips onwhen is a goodtime to applyfor a newhome loan.
STUDY YOUR CHOICESThere are several hundred homeloan options, and securing an interestrate reduction of just 0.25 per centon an average home loan can resultin thousands of dollars in savingsover the life of the loan.
Don’t always select the loan withthe lowest advertised interest rate.
Application and monthlymanagement fees, for example, canconsiderably add to the overall costof a home loan.
Consider ‘surprise’ costs whenapplying for the home loan, such asmortgage insurance.GET QUALIFIED HELPSpeak to a qualified broker of theMortgage & Finance Association ofAustralia (MFAA).
They have a large selection ofhome loans and will be able to selectthe most appropriate loan for yourpersonal financial circumstances.CHECK THE FINE PRINTLow introductory home loans, forexample, may have high breakingcosts or might revert to a highinterest rate, making this kind ofhome loan an expensive option.OWNERSHIP PERIODDetermine how long you plan tohold the property. If it is for a shortperiod of time, then a home loan thatoffers very flexible conditions mightbe an attractive option.DEBT REDUCTIONSelect a home loan option that allowsyou the ability to quickly reduce yourhome loan debt commitments.
For example, through the use of‘offset’ accounts, a borrower maysignificantly reduce the term of thehome loan.

Confusing codes under review
GOOD news for those wanting to build, extendor renovate in the western suburbs.
The State Government has announced WA’sResidential Design Codes are again under review,meaning building restrictions on garages could belifted.
Since the new version of WA’s R-Codes wasintroduced in April, designers, builders, architectsand homeowners have been confused overchanges to the acceptable developmentprovisions relating to garage doors.
In the previous version of the R-Codes it stateda garage door facing the street must not occupymore than 50 per cent of the frontage at thesetback line.
However the new version, gazetted on April29, also included supporting structures in theprovision, making building a double garage on anarrow block almost impossible.
WA Housing Industry Association executivedirector John Dastlik said the inclusion ofsupporting structures caught out anumber of clients and meant the home they hadenvisaged for their block of land could no longerbe built.
“On many narrow-lot developments, or wherebig blocks are subdivided down the middle, this
provision was limiting, but builders and designerswere still about to construct double lock-upgarages on most blocks,” he said.
Steven Gill, from the Housing IndustryAssociation, said it was made aware of thefrustration from its members, many of who wereattempting to build on narrow blocks.
“The R-Codes need to be reviewed becausepeople are finding it extremely difficult to buildwith these restrictions,” he said.
“Many people in the western suburbs, forinstance, can’t build their dream home becausethey can’t fit a double lock-up garage on the site.”
Mr Dastlik said for affordability reasons, thetrend in Perth had been towards smaller,narrower lot developments in new estates, and in
established suburbs like Claremont, Fremantleand Mosman Park, the trend had been to dividebig lots down the middle to create two narrowblocks.
He said the changes to the R-Codes in Aprilmade this type of development more difficult andin many cases impossible if the house was to befunctional and fit current lifestyles.
“I hope this was an unintentional mistake by thegovernment and that it will be rectified quickly,keeping in mind the last review took five years,”Mr Dastlik said.
Planning Minister John Day told Residential theR-Codes were under review and he wouldexamine this issue with a view to finding asolution. ■

UNMATCHED in style and sophistication, a one-yearrenovation process has paid off for the owners of this circa1930s Art Deco home.
With a mind to recreate rather then renovate, the originalresidence was guttedand redesigned toaccommodate ownersAndrew and RachaelHopkins’ growingfamily, withoutdetracting from itsperiod splendour.
“We employed alocal builder who wasvery familiar withworking on periodproperties and we totally gutted and upgraded the wholeproperty, renewing windows, doors, the kitchen, bathroom,wiring and plumbing.”
Original features remain, such as polished jarrahfloorboards that progress from the entry foyer to mostrooms, high decorative ceilings with roses and ornatecornices, leadlight doors and plate rails.
The aim in re-imagining the home was to strike a balancebetween new and existing features to create a successfulfusion of contemporary and classic.
Citing its character, feel and proportions as favouritefeatures, Andrew said the home’s location was a majordrawcard.
It is one of only 10 houses in the quiet street, reminiscentof a country lane with wide grassed verges and mature treesdotting the sidewalks.
“We love Claremont for its close proximity to the river,beach and shops and being able to walk to school from thisproperty,” he said.
A verandah at the front overlooks landscaped gardens, witha classic aesthetic that is mirrored in the rear outdoorentertaining area.
Here, two decked areas overlook well-maintained lawn anda curved limestone wall that edges an elevated garden filledwith blossoms, to which a potted feature is central.
“We landscaped the front and rear gardens, incorporatingas much open space as possible, which was achieved easilybecause of the large size of the block,” Andrew said.
Through double glass-paned doors, the entry vestibulesplits to the master suite on the left and the formal loungeroom and adjoining living areas on the right.
For convenience, three bedrooms, including the master,are situated at the front with easy access to the shared
bathroom, featuring a frameless glass shower with curvedsliding screens, separate bath and dark wood-veneer dualvanity.
French country style has inspired the kitchen, with amplestorage space in white cupboards and on stone bench tops.Glass splashbacks and stainless steel Bosch appliances addpanache to the well-equipped room, which faces the diningroom.
“The new European kitchen is very open, user friendly andmakes great use of the working triangle,” Andrew said.
A spacious family room with high, raked ceilings ensuresthe home will never be short on space. It adjoins the fourthbedroom. ■

IT took several years for the owners tocome up with the design for thisRiverstone-built house, to ensureeverything they wanted in a home wascatered for.
The street front is a pretty mix oflimestone-finish facade, manicured,colourful gardens and interesting design.
Owners Marianne and Tony Robinsand their two daughters have lived in thehouse for nearly six years, and Mariannesaid it was a good family home.
“I really like the fact that thebedrooms are all on one level,” she said.
Three double-sized bedrooms are onthe second storey, with the main andminor bedrooms separated by a centrallounge area that acts as a mezzaninefloor, overlooking a dining space below.
Marianne said she liked the spaciousfeel the double-height void gave to theliving area.
The main bedroom has a walk-inwardrobe and an ensuite with recessedshower, double vanity unit and separate
toilet. A timber floating floor leads fromthe entry to dining and family areas,where it joins a tiled floor in the kitchen.
Burgundy-and-black tiled splashbacksadd interest to a timber and granite-lookfit-out in the big kitchen, which has anintegrated dishwasher, built-in cornerpantry and big island bench with breakfastbar to one side and storage boxes to theother.
The kitchen overlooks a north-facingback courtyard, which connects to the
family area via sliding glass doors.It has a quaint feel, surrounded by
elevated limestone garden beds filledwith colourful plants, and has a bench-seat built in and a big shade umbrellaoverhead.
Marianne said the family would mostmiss the location.
“You can lie in bed at night and hearthe ocean. It is right near Allen Park andwalks to the beach take less than 10minutes,” she said. ■

APARTMENTS
Apartment has aEuropean twist
THIS spacious apartment is a combinationof modern living, inner city location and avision from the builder to recreate the styleof a European villa.
A rustic style from the front, withlimestone-finish render and decorativemetal balcony balustrade, continues insidewith water features on two sides of a foyer.
Owners Alexia and Rodger Wright havelived at the address for three years, and saidthey enjoyed being so close to everythingthey needed.
“We walk to the movies andrestaurants… and if I make it to the train[station] at the right time, I can get to thecity in eight minutes,” Alexia said.
The apartment, one of only two on thefloor, has french oak floorboards from itsentry, through to a living space where kitchen, dining and family areasamalgamate.
Built-in timber furniture with buffet,storage and display functions featuresaround the dining and family areas, added by
the owners to match timberwork in thekitchen.
Black granite benches, splashbacks andserving tops complement the kitchencabinetry, which has an integrateddishwasher and appliances built in.
Alexia and Rodger said the high standardof the build was evident in trimmings likequality European appliances, matching stoneelements in bathrooms and laundry andskirting boards throughout.
Downstairs is an office space with its own
street frontage which has commercial zon-ing or could suit as a second living area.
In an exclusive complex of eight, this unitsolely has its own access to a shared kitchenand bathroom area to service the office, anda billiards room.
It also shares use of leisure facilities,which include a gym, sauna and undercoverpool.
Rodger said the office space was great, ashe could finish work and jump straight intothe spa. ■
