THE ULTIMATE IN BEACHFRONT LIVING – AUCTION NEXT WEEKDiscover one of the best kept secrets on the coast in this striking, contemporary beachhouse. Privately set in a short row of the only ‘absolute beachfront’ properties in the region, the exclusivity of your investment is immediately obvious. Part home, part luxury resort, the main house features 4 bedrooms, a study, 3 bathrooms, 2 powder-rooms and garaging for 3 cars and space for a jetski. All main living spaces having stunning views of the ocean surf breaking on the beach. The pool side entertaining area is second-to-none with covered entertaining spaces by the outdoor kitchen complete with tepanyaki hotplate and built-in bar. The self-contained guest pavilion is exceptionally well appointed and a haven for visiting relatives or friends.It has been 6 years since a property has been offered to the market in this elite enclave, and, given the exclusivity of the homes in this quiet cul-de-sac, you could wait many more years to have another chance to enjoy the privilege. The owners are relocating and the property will be sold on or before auction day. Inspection will not disappoint.

In-room auction success!

Minka Jenkins,Next Property Group

The success we get from marketing in MPP never ceases to amaze me. A three-week auction campaign resulted in 30 groups showing interest, three registered bidders and a sale under the hammer with very happy vendors. If you are serious about selling property you would never waste your money advertising anywhere else. Thanks MPP for making my job so much fun!

The auction for 45 Memorial Avenue was a huge success thanks to My Property Preview. The enquiry the advertising created resulted in 127 buyer inspections and multiple offers on the property. On auction day we had 15 registered bidders with four buyers bidding to achieve a sale price of $720,000. The result was $85,000 above the reserve price.

Throughout the auction campaign, which featured four consecutive advertisements in MPP, we saw over 38 groups inspect the property, two prior offers, and it ended up selling under the hammer to a Logan-based couple looking to relocate here permanently.

Advertising in My Property Preview has given my sellers a fantastic response to the auction campaign at 2 Orme Road. The advertising resulted in 180 buyers viewing this property during the fi rst two weeks. A massive 90 per cent of our buyers came to the open homes after seeing the ads in My Property Preview. Fantastic results so far! Many thanks My Property Preview.

Rebecca Nolan,Next Property Group

Adam Foote, Red Property Group

I would like to thank My Property Preview. In the fi rst three weeks in December I had 290 groups through my properties with the outstanding result of over fi ve million dollars in sales. With the right marketing tools it is easy to sell property, I look forward to much more success with your help!

We had eight walk-ins to the Edgewater Sales display last Saturday thanks to our back page placement in My Property Preview. From those enquiries we sold a $499,000 apartment on the day.

REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX

Th ey say building a house is one of the most stressful things you can do – along with moving house of course. But if you haven’t built a house in the past decade, you might be surprised to learn that quite a few things have changed. Years ago, if you wanted to build and design your own house, you needed a fair bit of foresight and visualisation to ensure the house would turn out as you wanted, once it was built. As our cover story this week discovers, there’s a whole new ‘virtual’ world out there when it comes to designing your dream home. From the comfort of an air-conditioned design centre you can view your ‘future’ house in a fl y-around style 3D design. You can watch the computer screen as your home is positioned on your block of land – all with consideration of aspect, gradients and views. You can even change the roof line, windows, orientation and paint colours until you get it exactly how you want it, on the screen. Once that is all decided, the hard work really begins.

My Property Preview | January 29, 2010 9

“Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part

of the road.” So said American author Stewart Brand.

Technology is defi ned as “the practical application of science to commerce or industry”. But it’s much more than simply an application or a program; it forms the basis of almost everything we do.

Society is obsessed with technology. You name a process or a system, and you’ll fi nd a group of people determined to better it with technology. Not only that, we can better the technology that bettered the process or system. With technology! It’s a seemingly never-ending cycle.

It’s 2010 and the world is tech savvy. No industry has been able to escape technology’s clutches, least of all the world of property and construction.

Th anks to technology, we have entered the virtual world of home design and construction. A world where you can not only see what your house will look like on your block, but you can check out the slope of the land, take a virtual walk around your soon-to-be new lounge room, work out the best location to put the pool and can even see exactly where the sun will rise and set. And you can do all of this without leaving your seat.

No longer are we satisfi ed with the once simple process of designing and building a home – a quick sketch, a blue print or two and a wander through a display home simply won’t do.

Th e roles of technology in the construction industry and the process

in the documentation that fl ows between parties.Ultimately, the home owner is the winner in the

world of 3D imaging. Ten years ago no one would have thought that

they’d be able to take a virtual walk through their new home in all its shiny, new glory before the fi rstsod was even turned.

But has the world of super-savvy technology, 3D modelling and cyber space replaced the old process of designing and building a home, or is it merely a new tool in a potential buyer’s tool belt?

Steve Robinson from Master Builders (Sunshine Coast) believes that while display homes and villages are more popular than ever, potential buyers are embracing technology in their search for more information. “First and foremost, people are still committed to the basics – they will still use the tried and true methods,” he says. “Display villages are defi nitely much more prevalent as people want to touch, see and feel things.

“But if you don’t have access to a display village and you can’t crystallise it in your mind, there are some fantastic packages out there, especially if you’re looking to design and build something unique.”

“I believe that for most people, the more information the better. Th ey are information starved – they can’t get enough,” Steve adds.

Steve goes on to explain the potential of this programming. “Th ey can load the details of your block into the program – the slope of the land, the aspect. From here you can even see the location of the sun – how it sets over your house. Th is can help you rationalise the location of the windows, the materials to be used, and the placement of eaves. It’s amazing technology. It takes the guess work out of the process.”

And this is the kicker – using this new technology takes the worry out of the design and construction process. It’s certainly a win for the home owner.

According to Andrew Harries, design and draft ing manager at PJ Burns on the Sunshine Coast,

of designing and building a home have changed dramatically in the past decade. Th e integration of computer-based, three-dimensional design imagery is no longer an expensive sales tool used to attract clients; it is now an essential part of any builder’s or designer’s business.

CAD (computer-aided design) or 3D model rendering is the process of converting a physical model of a proposed home or building intoa computerised image. Th e 3D model is able to display all views of the proposed house. It may also contain geometrical

information, list materials, note light or shade and pretty much anything else that is required during the construction phase. Th e technology can also assist the designer or architect, the engineer and the construction team to accurately estimate things such as completion time and materials required.

Changes to the plans and new specifi cations can easily be passed between parties and the buyer can see how these changes will impact on the result, their new home. Use of this technology means a reduction in errors and provides greater accuracy continued over >

Time-poor customers can make one stop at

a home show or design centre to check out hundreds

of different products and services

cover story

there are two clear benefi ts to using 3D modelling and design soft ware.

“Th ere are two sides of the coin,” he says. “From a design and construction perspective, we can visualise the structure of the home. We can see the framework, complex roof structures and every window and door. We can even see how the home

works on the slope of your land – we undertake a complete survey of the block. Th is helps us identify problems or issues early on.

It also assists in the construction process as we can see if we need things like retaining walls or if we have to cut the land, so we can factor this into the costs early on.

“In turn, we can show all of this to the client, which really helps them to understand the process. Early on in the piece they can even view their home via our website at home. We have taken the system to a new level.”

While its current design programs focus on structural elements, Andrew says his company’s next step is to incorporate an interior design element to its off ering, which will be an attractive option for potential buyers. He also acknowledges that display homes are just as popular as they have always been.

“People are still attracted to our display homes. By the time they get to the virtual tool they are already convinced that they are building with us. But visualising the home settles their nerves in the early stages.”

Although some builders are yet to embrace this cutting-edge and costly design technology, several have jumped on board the 3D steamroller and are able to provide the service in-house or through external design fi rms. Once such company is Adenbrook Homes, who through its Home Expert Centre in Kawana and in-house design team off ers customers who are building through the Adenbrook By Design or Design Build Homes brands access to 3D rendering.

Dean Bolger from Adenbrook Homes explains, “We use the rendering program on our higher-end housing. It’s a time-consuming process and isn’t really essential

for fi rst-home buyers. Th ird-home buyers are more passionate and personal and their intentions are diff erent.

“Our customers are defi nitely asking for it – they want to be able to see their new home in 3D. And the technology is amazing. We can even adjust the walk-through view to suit a client’s specifi c height so they can see exactly what they will see when they move in.”

Steve Robinson adds, “A lot of builders and designers now off er this service. Th e market is defi nitely responding – more builders are on board. Even project builders are providing the service.”

Th ose builders who are not planning to embrace this technology run the risk of being outdated and outdone by competitors, and fast.

But it’s not just the trend towards virtual 3D technology that is on the increase. Th e popularity of one-stop-shops such as centralised design centres and home shows is also on the rise. Th is shows a distinct trend towards hands-on research. People still want to touch, feel and see products in the fl esh before they commit. Th e virtual world comes later.

Time-poor customers can make one stop at a home show or design centre to check out hundreds of diff erent products and services – from roof tiles to paint fi nishes, air -conditioning systems, kitchen modules, fl ooring and home designs.

“You would think that the advent of such technology would mean the end of display homes, design centres and home shows,” Steve says, “[But] people want more information – they don’t want to leave anything to chance. Home shows are as popular as ever.”

No one can predict where the industry will go in another 10 years. But we can be sure that technology is sure to play an even greater role in our lives. Perhaps you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your lounge room to design and build your new home. Th anks to technology, the possibilities are endless.

Some home owners take their toilets very seriously.

world

Sim Jae-Duck, the former chairman of the World Toilet Association, loved

toilets so much that he built a house shaped like one. Unveiled in November 2007, this unique home is located in South Korea and was designed to highlight the global need for better sanitation. Th e home is constructed of steel, white concrete and glass, features four deluxe toilets and is estimated to have cost around $1.2 million.

Around the world

Part of the Isis collection by Florida-based bathroom designer Jemal Wright, this blinged-out toilet is fully encrusted with Swarovski crystals and was off ered for a limited time

for the staggering price of $83,000. While the price seems a little extravagant for a toilet, at least you know it would be used oft en. To look aft er your investment, though, we recommend a fancier cleaning method than some Duck and a toilet brush.

Short-term holiday rentals off er the investor the potential to cash in during peak holiday seasons when rental rates are at a premium. Th is can be tempting, but the downside is you don’t have the guarantee of an income during the quieter months. Long-term rentals generally bring in much less per week, but off er the benefi t of stability and an ongoing income.

Long-term rentals are generally off ered unfurnished and with few extras, while self-contained short-term rental properties are usually fully furnished. If you have a short-term rental, you’ll need to budget for ongoing maintenance and repairs (and sometimes replacement) of items such as the fridge, microwave and dishwasher. However, these costs are tax deductable.

One of the key attractions for buying an investment property is lifestyle – you use your property as an investment and stay in it for free. Th is is one of the most appealing things about buying a holiday home near the beach. But every week you are using it you miss out on income. A long-term rental does not off er these lifestyle benefi ts but does give long-term security.

Holiday-makers will want to stay in a place that is within walking distance of or a quick drive to attractions, cafes and shops. Th ough this proximity to key services is still a big plus, long-term renters aren’t so demanding. As a result, you may not have to spend as much if you’re considering a long-term rental property.

Short- and long-term rentals can be positively or negatively geared, depending on your circumstances. Th e interest and related expenses you incur (such as repairs and maintenance) are tax deductible. Negative gearing means your loan repayments, fees and other costs exceed your rental income – the net loss can be off set at tax time against other income. Positive gearing occurs when the annual rental income received is higher than the annual loan repayments and costs – you earn extra income, but this is taxable.

No matter what your preferred investment type – long or short term – you will need a property manager to manage your investment. Many apartment buildings and townhouse villages have their own onsite management. Or you can have your property managed by an external agent. Ensure your manager is experienced and understands the local rental market.

If you own a holiday rental, you’ll get high depreciation allowances as some short-stay accommodation qualifi es for four per cent depreciation for 25 years as opposed to the standard 2.5 per cent for 40 years that comes with longer term rentals. But this applies only if your apartment meets the criteria.

If you’re a fi rst-time investor who requires consistent returns and good capital growth, it’s

probably best to stay away from investing in holiday accommodation and consider long term rentals. If you’re an experienced investor

looking for diversifi cation in your portfolio and place great importance on lifestyle, holiday

accommodation is worth considering.

Long-term vs short-term rentals It’s tourist season, and for some investors, it’s a tempting to cash in on our visitors. But is a short-term rental any more viable than a long-term one? We take a look.

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industryThe Brady bunch

Brady and Metcalfe Realty in Mapleton has been undergoing some slight generational changes of late, with principal and iconic hinterland agent John Brady partially handing over the reigns to his son Justin. John plans to semi-retire – working just a couple of days a week in the offi ce and staying actively involved in the day-to-day running of the business and its future direction. His son Justin, who has lived in the hinterland for more than 20 years, is happy to be taking over some of the responsibility, but values his father’s ongoing input into the business. “He’s been in the industry in the hinterland for 29 years,” Justin says. “I think he’s been through every property up here two or three times and has sold almost everything at least once. Th at wealth of knowledge you just can’t buy, so we want to hold on to him as long as we can.” In addition, John and Justin welcome Steve Browne to the team. For the past four years, Steve has managed the LJ Hooker agency at Emu Park and brings with him a wealth of experience.

Ironman’s home up for auction

Ironman champion Dean Mercer is selling his ocean-view home at Shelly Beach. Dean and his wife Reen moved to the Sunshine Coast with their boys several years ago and have enjoyed their Shelly Beach home, which is now up for auction. But the family is now moving to the Gold Coast so Dean can pursue his ironman commitments.

Th e fi ve-bedroom property, which boasts beautiful ocean views, spacious living areas and a half-sized tennis court, has direct access to the beach and occupies a tightly held residential pocket in Shelly Beach.

Marketing agent Daniel Barrios of Next Property Group says properties in this area rarely come on to the market.

“Th is would be the perfect home for a local family wanting that great lifestyle position. As they say, location, location, location,” says Daniel.

Dean has been part of Australia’s surf lifesaving culture for more than 30 years,

since joining Nippers as a fi ve-year-old in his home town of Th irroul, south of Sydney.

Over the years he has won two Australian

ironman titles, fi ve NSW championships, two Test of the Toughest titles and the 1997 Oceanman series, as well as more recently a second place in the Coolangatta Gold.

While Dean is excited to be taking on a new adventure further south, he is nostalgic about his time at Shelly Beach.

“Our home holds many happy memories,” he says. “We carried out

Our home holds many happy memories. We carried out

renovations and had plans to give the exterior a full facelift.

““

renovations inside including a new kitchen and living areas and had plans to give the exterior a full facelift .

“Unfortunately life got in the way, but we hope someone else will fi nd it equally as enjoyable,” Dean says from his new Gold Coast abode.

Dean’s property at 7 Shelly Park, Shelly Beach will go under the hammer on Saturday, January 30 at 2.30pm.

Dean and Reen's home in Shelly Beach will be auctioned this month

Dean, Reen and their three children, Brayden, 5, Rory, 3, Lachlan, 18 months

My Property Preview | January 29, 2010 59

The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s most desirable holiday destinations, so it’s not surprising that visitors to our region make up a signifi cant number of our property owners. This segment of the market plays an important role in our local real estate industry and now they can be targeted like never before!

In addition to your advertising in My Property Preview (which also reaches thousands of visitors each week), your property can be marketed on TV directly to visitors while they are staying in their holiday apartments via an

exclusive arrangement between MPP and Resort TV.

Resort TV is a dedicated hour-long tourism information program accessed via its own channel in almost 5000 resort apartments across the Coast, and played on a rolling loop 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Surveys prove that more than 40,000 visitors see the program each month.

So if you believe your property would be of interest to tourists, ask your agent today how it can appear on Resort TV from as little as $17 per day.

First National in-room auctionIt was standing room only at the Coast’s biggest in-room event.

First National Real Estate’s in-room auction event, held last Friday, drew a massive crowd of more than 300 people to the Maroochy RSL function room.

With 25 local properties going under the hammer, it was the biggest in-room auction event held on the Sunshine Coast, and the results didn’t disappoint. Th e fi rst property on the running list sold under the hammer for $680,000, but it was a property located just down the road that

proved to be the day’s most anticipated auction. 45 Memorial Avenue had 15 registered bidders and the auction started with an opening bid of $440,000. Two bidders were left in the end, with the property fi nally selling for $720,000, which was $85,000 more than the reserve price. Th ere was a total of 56 bidders on the day, two properties sold prior to auction, four sold under the hammer, and nine of the remaining 19 properties

were being negotiated at the time of going to print. Sunshine Coast chair for the First National group, Rod McLean, says his teams were delighted with the outcome. “It was a combined Sunshine Coast First National eff ort and we’re extremely happy with the result. It goes to show there is strong interest in Sunshine Coast property. In fact, on auction day, we sold a property to someone who purchased the unit site unseen!”Auctioneer Jason Andrew was kept busy

Renters beware – the competition is fi erce in the hinterland.

by Pauline Clayton

Renting on the rangeBe early, be fi rst and be fast if you

want to rent in the hinterland. It’s easier to fi nd a house to buy than

to rent. Th e only area where the property managers are reporting more rental properties coming on to the market than last year are the railway towns of Beerwah and Landsborough.

But everywhere else there are more clients than available properties.

Dale Hoff man, property manager for Laurie Evans Real Estate, Beerwah and Landsborough, says last year was the quietest she has seen in the past 12 years, but already this year there is improvement. “I wouldn’t say the rental market is booming, but it is cruising along nicely,” Dale says.

“We are seeing more investors buying both new and older properties to enter into the rental market.”

Rents in the railway towns, which are popular with workers who commute, are approximately $360 to $380 a week.

Th is price is for a three- to four-bedroom house with two-car garage. A townhouse is about $290.

While the railway towns are desirable places for commuters, across the range the property managers say that they have a strong client base of people who rent while deciding where in the hinterland they want to settle.

Dale has rental applications from prospective tenants in Victoria and Western Australia.

Further up the range, David Menck of Riddell Real Estate Woombye reports the rental market in his district continues to be buoyant, but there are still more clients than available rental properties.

“It is very rare to fi nd anything off ering in Woombye, as once people have settled here they have a tendency to stay put.

“Because of this lack of available property, the price of rentals in this district has doubled in the last 10 years.”

David tells My Property Preview that in 2000 the price of a four-bedroom house in Woombye was $200 a week.

“Today that same house is $400,” he says. “Th at is if you can fi nd one – they are few and far between.”

Such is the demand in the Woombye district that Riddell Real Estate doesn’t advertise its rental properties. “We rely

on internet enquiries and people walking through the door,” David says.

A few doors down the main street and Rita Sanderson, property manager for Woombye Real Estate, is predicting the rental market is on an upward trend.

“We have had a boost in enquiries since Christmas,” she says. “Even so,

there are more people looking to rent in the district than available properties.

“Th e clients we are seeing are young couples and young families. Th ere appears to be a move away from the Mooloolaba area by people who want a quieter life.”

At the top of the range at Maleny and Montville, the story is the same. Th ere are more clients than available homes.

Even the famous shed rentals of the Maleny district are rare.

Cheryl Batchelor, the property manager at Maleny and Hinterland Real Estate, moved into the area and rented while searching for a house to buy. She knows just how diffi cult it can be.

Two years ago she said there was nothing available for renters. “Today there are a few more on the market and they go quickly. A property that comes in the morning is gone by evening.”

Maleny was once known as a low-rent area due to its isolation and lack of public transport. It attracted artists

and writers who could work from home in the peaceful environment. Old barns and sheds were popular, economic rentals. Today a livable shed can be rented for around $185 to $320 depending on its condition. But they are hard to fi nd.

Today Cheryl says clients are people moving up from the cities where they are used to paying a higher rent. “It is diffi cult for those used to living here

on lower rentals,” she says.

“Th e national rental rate reputedly increased by just two per cent last year, but in the hinterland it was more like 10 per cent,” Cheryl says.

On the eastern ridge, Montville Real Estate Estate’s property manager Dianne Arnold tells a similar

story. “Th ere is a lot of interest here, but we have more clients than properties. Montville properties range from $380 a week to $600 for the executive house.”

Dianne says those renting are oft en looking to buy or build. “Our clients are families, and semi-retired or retired people looking for lifestyle change.”

new home & land

The Coast community will have a new multi-million dollar sports complex in Parklakes, Bli Bli, to use

from March this year. Th e purpose-built facility includes

three competition-sized soccer fi elds, an overlay for a cricket pitch, three recreational lakes, a playground and a one-kilometre recreational running track that links in with a six-kilometre walking track network throughout the leafy residential community.

Th e Parklakes sports complex will also include a 500-square metre club house, which will double as a community hall. Th e club house is expected to be completed by July this year.

Parklakes spokesperson Rob Midgley says work began on the sports complex in October last year and is expected to be complete in time for the Sunshine Coast’s popular 2010 football season.

“Th e complex spans eight hectares and will obviously be a valuable asset for residents of Parklakes and the wider Sunshine Coast community from the outset,” he says.

“Th e facilities will off er many healthy opportunities for local families to enjoy the outdoors and a sporting lifestyle, with everything from running tracks to freshwater lakes stocked with Australian Bass.

“We’re also planning for the sports complex to eventually become the home of a local football team.”

Th e complex cost more than $4 million to construct and is located off Bli Bli-Yandina Road at the northern end of the residential community. Designed by Covey & Associates, the sports fi elds were built with underground irrigation linking to the three lakes.

Th e Parklakes Sports Complex will be handed over to the Sunshine Coast

Regional Council for management on completion and will be available

for local community groups and sports teams to use.

At completion, Parklakes will

include 530 homes to

cater for a community

of more than 1200 residents.

retirement

The year 2011 will be a critical one for retirement living, as it’s the year the very fi rst baby

boomer turns 65. Th e ageing of the baby boomer population and the fact that life expectancy rates overall are increasing, are causing the post-retirement age group to grow faster than any other. Th is is having, and will continue to have, a signifi cant eff ect on the demand for retirement accommodation on the Sunshine Coast.

Demographer Bernard Salt says there will be more Australians entering retirement than entering the workforce.

“Th e real demographic troublemakers are those pesky boomers

born in the 1950s,” says Bernard. “From 2011 onwards, the rate of growth in the working age population of Australians slows. More boomers exit at 65 than generation Yers enter at 15.”

Although the Australian government is following in the steps of the UK and extending the pension age to 67, many Australian men and women are looking at entering a retirement estate before this age. And why wouldn’t they? Many people are keen

to benefi t from the attractive lifestyle choices off ered by retirement living as soon as possible.

retirement

become more acceptable in recent years, but due to compulsory superannuation and the increase in two-income families, it has also become more easily aff ordable.

As the boomers reach retiring age,it is up to architects, town planners and existing estates to respond to the new set of needs and priorities. So will the Sunshine Coast be able to equip the retirement boom? Trevor Holt from Caloundra Rise thinks many of the Coast’s estates already are.

“We already have baby boomers here in our village. Th ey are very demanding, wanting double garages, bigger dining/lounge rooms, patios, ensuites etc,” says Trevor. “Th ey want more upmarket units than what the previous generation would accept.”

Trevor says his estate has plans to extend on the existing village in order to accommodate the next generation.

“We have another 46 units to go and we’re hoping to start building again in a couple of months. Our plans are to cater for the bigger units with double garages,

stone benches, patios etc – catering for what the baby boomers requirements are. Developers want to build multi-storey villages, but this is not what retirees want. Th ey want privacy and space, more so than the previous generation.”

Social analyst David Chalke says baby boomers are embracing a greater choice of retirement options. Traditionally, seniors would seek a quiet and peaceful place to settle down. Th ese days, retirees want apartments and estates that off er low-maintenance, luxury living and a faster-paced lifestyle.

“Today’s retirees are fi tter, more active, and can expect to live another

15 to 20 years of active life, so they want to make the most of it,” he says.

Trevor from Caloundra Rise says modern retirement living is barely recognisable to preceding generations.

retirement villages were 20 to 30 years ago, they have changed dramatically,” he says. “Th ey are now more like retirement resorts. Th e word ‘retirement’ will probably even vanish from the name.”

Bernard Salt says the fact that government is even thinking about the issue of the baby boomers is a great leap forward.

“No great planning or consultation was conducted in managing the retirement of the ‘frugal generation’ prior to World War II,” he said. “Th e transitioning of the boomers into retirement of the ‘lifestyle stage of the life cycle’ will be diff erent.”

Make your home offi ce work for youHaving a permanent room for your work area in your home is ideal from both a productivity and taxation point of view. Having a separate area that is used exclusively and regularlyfor your business is an important criterion to qualify for tax deductions for your home offi ce.

cover story

With more and more Sunshine Coasters working from home, the home offi ce has become a

vital part of any house plan. Whether you’re running a business or just need somewhere private to pay bills and check up on Facebook, it’s important to set up an appropriate space where you can concentrate and increase productivity. A distinct workspace helps condition your mind that this is a place where you do work while the rest of your home is for relaxing.

Start from scratchIf you’re building a home, you have the advantage of being able to allocate a room for your home offi ce and tailor it to your needs. Ideally, place it at the front of the house with a nice view that is well lit and well ventilated. If you’re going to be spending a lot of time there, you’ll want to be as comfortable as possible. Th ink of all the things that you’ll need to work comfortably and effi ciently. Have a telephone installed in the space or be sure to have a portable phone available. Install hard fl ooring to make it easy for your desk chair to move around. Select window coverings that will allow you to control the light and install a fan or air-conditioning for ultimate climate control. Building a room with a separate entry is best if you’re running a business. Th at way, clients won’t have to walk through your home to reach your offi ce.

Making roomIf you’re in an existing home and you have one, a spare room is the best place to set up shop. Just make sure it has all the elements you need like telephone and internet connections, ventilation and privacy. You will also want to position it away from family traffi c, noise and distractions like the kitchen.

Space poor? A home offi ce does not need to be a separate room. If space is an issue, simply set up your work area in the corner of a room or in the garage. Th e important thing is that you can have a permanent workspace that is dedicated to your work. Th e disadvantage of this set-up, however, is the potential for distraction. Again, fi nd somewhere that is away from the main traffi c areas of your household.

Decorate accordinglyTh is is the fun part. When it comes to decorating, keep in mind that you are creating a space that’s purpose is to promote work. Clean lines, minimal clutter and storage solutions are important. Choose a good desk and a comfortable chair as your base. Th en, add accessories like pen holders, folder holders and fi le trays. If you have the room, a fi ling cabinet and drawers are also useful. Minimising clutter

A laptop on the kitchen table no longer cuts it. Promote productivity by setting up a workable home offi ce.

Working class

is important, but that doesn’t mean your offi ce should lack personality. Choose a colour scheme, add a small indoor plant and hang artwork and photos.

LightingWhen installing or buying lighting it is important to match the type to the task. Ask a lighting specialist to recommend which types would be best suited to your needs. Ambient lighting, which lights up the room, should be uniform and moderately bright. You may also want to have overhead lighting, fl oor lamps and desk lamps.

By creating the ideal home offi ce space, keeping it organised and decorating it to your liking, you’ll be much more inclined to work better.
