Crackdown: A matter of trust

F air Trading Minister Matthew Mason-Cox (pictured) has released the results of NSW Fair

Trading’s recent compliance audit targeting the trust accounts of real estate agents across the state.

Mr Mason-Cox said Fair Trading received 506 qualifi ed audits for the 2012/13 fi nancial year with 51 matters referred for further inves-tigation and 83 warnings issued to agents.

“Five penalty infringement notices have already been issued with a number of follow-up inspections to occur,” he said.

“87 audits required on-site inspections and 285 audits required no further action.”

Mr Mason-Cox said an addi-tional 1,702 random audits were undertaken with 170 real estate agents found to be in breach of the law for failing to submit an audit report or having discrepancies in the audit report submitted.

“Further on-site inspections are continuing with a view to taking disciplinary action against agents found to be in breach,” he said.

Mr Mason-Cox said Fair Trad-ing’s real estate compliance checks send a clear message to dishonest agents that they will be held to account if they fl out the law.

“In the 2013/14 fi nancial year, six real estate agents were convicted of off ences involving trust account fraud, with fi ve licensees receiving custodial sentences,” he said.

“Millions of home-owner and landlord dollars go through trust accounts every year.

“Do not be mistaken, to misap-propriate this money is fraud and agents can fi nd themselves in prison if they break the law.”

Licensees who held or received trust money during the fi nan-cial year must have their trust accounts audited by an auditor.

NSW Fair Trading is looking closely at the activities of trust accounts associated with real estate agents

Building a brand new home often puts people off , but a major developer says it’s all because of a range of mis-conceptions

Debunking myths about new homes

B usy families might fi nd the idea of building a new home, rather than buying and renovating a

second-hand home, overwhelm-ing, with underlying concerns about the level of control they will have in the process, expenses and whether the fi nal product will meet their expectations. But these concerns are based on common misconceptions, says a major developer.

Kim Clarke, Managing Director of Xcel Properties and Plantation Palms, a 2000-home master-planned community in Queens-

land’s Mackay, says there’s many myths out there.

Based on the most common questions asked, Kim debunks the most common misconcep-tions about new-build homes:

Buying a house and land pack-age is more expensive: On the contrary, building new means you’re less likely to need renova-tions down the track. Builders are required to off er a building guarantee and warranty to cover any structural repairs in the fi rst six years.

They require a bigger deposit: This isn’t always the case. While

most developers require a 10 per cent deposit to exchange on land, many off er a range of fi nancing options, such as longer settle-ment periods, to allow you more time to prepare your deposit and fi nances.

I don’t know what the neigh-bourhood will look like: Many who invest their time and resources into purchasing a house and land package tend to be fami-lies who are also looking to buy into the community aspect. Many master-planned communities comprise parks and recreational facilities, enabling the commu-

nity to get to know each other. When buying second hand in the suburbs, many of us often don’t know our neighbours across the street.

There’s no guarantee the property will grow in value: The area is a strong determining factor in capital growth. As when buying second hand, you need to research the areas in which properties sell well.

I don’t know if the fi nal product will meet my expectations: It’s important you have confi dence in the work of the developer and builder before your fi nal decision.

@wwpenrithCarbon tax is now historyBits&Pieces

The Sydney prestige market is again seeing interest as business confi dence improves, accord-ing to the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales. “Sydney is back in business again,” REINSW President Malcolm Gunning said. “After seven years of caution the Sydney prestige market is showing solid signs of growth as confi dence returns to the marketplace following the GFC. Business conditions play a key role in this market and we are seeing prices return to where they were previously due to the outlook appearing solid in the future.”

Raine & Horne Wollongong has been appointed by Youth Off The Streets, founded by dynamic cleric Father Chris Riley, to auction two properties in Canyonleigh, a small town in the NSW Southern Highlands. “The properties are located at Lot 1 and Lot 2 Tugalong Road, Canyon-leigh, and will go under the hammer on Saturday, August 23 and are expected to fetch healthy

six to seven fi gure prices,” said Josh Kersten, Co-Principal of Raine & Horne Wollongong. With its Cordeaux Heights Centre for Youth now fully operational, Youth Off The Streets’ board has decided that the two Canyon-leigh properties are surplus to requirements, according to Mr Kersten. (pictured)

Leading Sydney real estate agency Starr Partners – with 30 offi ces across the Hills District, Hawkesbury, Nepean, South West, Outer West, Northern Beaches and Central Coast – has

won the award of Best Innovator at this year’s prestigious Real Estate Business Awards, for the second year running.

Data released by the Austral-ian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) revealed that home loan approv-als grew by 0.04 per cent in May after two consecutive months of negative growth. Loan Market director Mark De Martino said the numbers for May were 4.57 per cent higher than the same month last year and it demon-strated how competitive the market for home loans is.

The Housing Industry

Association (HIA) has welcomed the passage of legislation through the Senate to repeal the carbon tax. The dumping of the tax followed a promise by Prime Minister Tony Abbott leading into the 2013 election.

“HIA has advocated against the carbon tax since its inception, as it represents yet another impost on one of the most heavily taxed sectors in the economy,” said HIA Chief Executive Industry Policy and Media, Graham Wolfe.

“The repeal of the tax was a key part of HIA’s 2013 federal election platform to help revive the housing industry.

“The carbon tax has had a direct impact on energy produc-tion costs, which in turn flowed through the manufacturing and fabrication phases of building material, product and assembly production.

“It has impacted on domestic manufacturing, jobs and material input costs in building new homes.”

M inister for Planning Pru Goward and NSW Treasurer Andrew Constance

(pictured) said levels of new residential construction in NSW have hit a 10 year high according to latest Australian Bureau of Statistics fi gures.

Residential construction commencements for the last 12 months hit 46,035, the highest level since September 2003. Also, residential commencements from the March 2014 quarter have now reached levels not seen since 2002, in fact the latest March quarter commencement levels are 42 per cent higher than the 10 year average.

“This is yet another sign of confi dence in the NSW economy, stemming from smarter planning

NSW has its mojo back

and the strong economic leader-ship of the NSW Government,” Ms Goward said.

“With expert population projections released earlier this year showing NSW will need one million additional homes in the next 20 years we have a lot of work to do, but today’s fi gures show we are getting on with the job.

“If we want our children to be able to live and work in the areas we know and love we have to ensure we are bringing a steady supply of new housing to the market every year.”

Treasurer Andrew Constance said the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government is driving economic activity through hous-ing construction while supporting fi rst-time buyers to break into the property market.

He said it was all about looking forward, not backwards, when it came to the economy.

“We have taken the state’s economy out of the dark ages under Labor to become the coun-try’s powerhouse, and today’s fi gures are further proof NSW has its mojo back,” Mr Constance said.

“As we accelerate housing supply in NSW, we’re determined to ensure more young families get the appropriate support.”

M ore than one in every three Austral-ians have interior motives, new data

from Roy Morgan Research shows, with the number of us taking a keen interest in home decorating and design growing by over 20 per cent since 2010, including an additional million or so houseproud Aussies in the last two years alone.

Over 6.8 million Australians 14+ (35 per cent) now agree with the statement, ‘I keep up-to-date with new ideas to improve my home’,

up from almost 5.7 million in the year to March 2010.

With three TV shows about home renovation and design (Channel Nine’s ‘The Block’, ABC’s ‘Grand Designs’ and ‘Better Homes & Gardens’ on Seven) among the country’s top 20 most-loved and ‘Lifestyle’ and ‘Lifestyle Home’ each making the top 20 pay TV channels we ‘really love to watch’, our growing appetite for all things homey clearly refl ects in the media we choose to consume.

Home and garden magazines especially are a major benefi ciary

of our growing domestic natures, with fi ve in particular bucking the overall industry trend and experi-encing solid, consistent readership increases.

Since 2010, Home Beautiful, Coun-try Style, Real Living, Inside Out and Home Design have between them garnered an additional 259,000 readers, with individual growth of between 23 per cent and 41 per cent.

Overall, just over half of all Home and Garden magazine readers say they keep up-to-date with new home improvement ideas.

@wwpenrithCranebrook 2749

Haven for familiesC ranebrook is a largely

residential area in the City of Penrith.

The suburb is mostly made up of families who enjoy the good-sized blocks and nature in the area. There is also some semi-rural housing towards the north of Cranebrook.

Located only a short 10 minute drive from Penrith Station and with many bus stops in the area, there is great accessibility to public transport services. Cranebrook is located centrally to both the M4 and M7 motorways making it a great place to reside if travel on these motorways is a part of your daily commute.

The Northern Road and Castlereagh Road both allow quick access to Penrith CBD.

Along with some parkland the main part of Cranebrook is home to a local shopping village that

includes health facilities and an IGA supermarket.

There is also Andromeda Community Centre that is avail-able for functions in the area.

There are public and private schools in the area including Corpus Christi, Samuel Terry, Cranebrook High School and St Paul’s Grammar.

Highly oriented around a family lifestyle, in the area there is Cranebrook Little Athletics Centre and Cranebrook United Soccer club with sporting facilities in the suburb.

From the western side of Crane-brook residents can enjoy views of the Blue Mountains.

It is also in close proximity to Penrith Lakes, including the Sydney International Regatta Centre and Penrith Whitewater Stadium, which helps the area attract international visitors.

An often misun-derstood suburb, Cranebrook off ers a fantastic lifestyle for families and is just minutes from the heart of Penrith

Western Property Magazine Friday 25 July 201416

Nigel [email protected]

the agent says

Great family suburb

C ranebrook is a very unique suburb in Penrith.

It has truly the most diverse variety of hous-

ing in the area. It is situated north of the Penrith

CBD, approximately 10 minutes away, but yet is only 2-3 minutes away from the country scenery.

This variety of housing can suit any potential buyer, from town-houses, duplexes, small to large homes, to the amazing acreage living.

Many streets have views of the Blue Mountains and some over-look the lakes scheme.

With the growing demand for housing this well stabled area provides for all people.

Schools, parks, shopping centres, sports ovals, local community halls, churches and yet even more with good public transport.

Whenever I show homes for sale they don’t last long as people are surprised and impressed with the area.

Starr Partners is defi nitely the place to call if you are keen on either selling your home in the Cranebrook area, or if you have a desire to move to the suburb and want to inspect what’s on the market.

Not only are all of our agents experienced and professional, but as an agency, we continue to innovate and impress.

Starr Partners has won consecu-tive awards for the ‘Best Innova-tor’ at the recent Australian Real Estate Business Awards and has introduced another industry fi rst technology.

‘Snaploader’ connects users from a property photo to all the relevant property information.

Homebuyers can use the app to snap a property photo in a Starr Partners advertisement from a newspaper, on a signboard or in a brochure and get all the informa-tion they need to know.

It brings everything together including a 3D fl oor plan of the property.

It defi nitely makes the property images more interesting and more engaging.

Snaploader is a free consumer app that uses Image Recognition to identify the property photo and connects users to the website link, property location, agent details, social media and more.

Snaploader also off ers a 3D experience for any property using Augmented Reality.

A 3D fl oor plan model is rendered from the 2D fl oor plan and jumps to life by hovering your smart-phone back over the property image.

It’s a very engaging experience that gives that ‘wow’ factor to any property.

Through Snaploader you can communicate directly with the agent and receive updates about the property like never before. It’s quite amazing!

It’s has a powerful ability to communicate with clients show-ing genuine interest in a property.

It all begins in a snap…

Next week: We look at another great suburb in the Penrith LGA

The June 2014 REINSW Vacancy Rate Survey saw Sydney residen-tial vacancy rates remain mostly unchanged in the Sydney metro-politan market.

The number of properties for

rent across Sydney fell 0.1 per cent to 1.8 per cent.

“Rates above two per cent are considered neutral. We are comfortable with these vacancy rate levels and the opportuni-ties that are provided in the marketplace currently,” REINSW President Malcolm Gunning said.

“The biggest mover in the

market was in middle Sydney where availability fell 0.4 per cent to 2.1 per cent.

“Inner Sydney vacancy rates remained at 1.9 per cent, while the outer suburbs saw a decline of increase of 0.1 per cent to 1.5 per cent.”

Looking outside the metropoli-tan area, availability in the Hunter

remains solid at 3.3 per cent, despite a fall of 0.1 per cent. This was led by a decrease of 0.4 per cent in Newcastle at 3.5 per cent.

The Illawarra had a vacancy rate of 1.8 per cent, down 0.1 per cent, with Wollongong down 0.3 per cent at 2.1 per cent.

Vacancy rates in the Central West were at 4.4 per cent.

Fire safety

I t’s well and truly winter now, which means keeping warm and rugging up indoors. Unfortunately winter also

means that the risk of home fi res is at its highest, making fi re safety top priority to ensure you and your family are kept safe. Each week during the winter months fi refi ghters attend an average of 102 house fi res, according to Fire & Rescue NSW Commissioner Greg Mullins, with the most dangerous room being the kitchen, which is where more than half of all house fi res start.

While these can be scary statis-tics the good news is that there are many things you and your family can do around the home to reduce your risk.

Firstly make sure you have working smoke alarms, this requires frequent maintenance to ensure that the alarms are in proper working order in the event of a fi re.

It is also important to have a

practised home escape plan, so that all members of the family know what to do if a fi re does break out.

There are also some risky behav-iours that home owners need to identify and change in order to reduce the risk of a house fi re.

This includes never leaving open fi res, cooking, candles and

With the mornings getting colder and winter well and truly here, it’s time to make sure your house is fire safe

smoking materials unattended. It is also important to keep clothing or any other fl ammable material more than one metre from open fi res and heaters.

Before you go to sleep be sure to turn off any heaters or electric blankets.

Clothes dryers can also pose a risk so it’s important to clean lint

fi lters after every load. Lastly, be sure to never overload power points or power boards around the home.

To check whether your home is fi re safe you can head to www.homefi resafetyaudit.com.au to identify your level of risk. The audit will then provide you with a list of things that you can do to

decrease the risk of fi re in your home.

When all is said and done complacency is one of the biggest risks to the safety of your family and home, so be sure to take precautions this winter to reduce your risk of a house fi re.

A little preparation could avoid a major tragedy down the track.

How to get a home loan

Three months of clean

banking: You are likely to have to provide about three months worth of credit card statements and statements from other loans such as personal loans or car loans. Make sure you’ve been ‘clean’ for these three months with no late or missed payments. This will be a huge thing in your favour. Banks need to see you’ve got no problem in paying loans back.

Be honest: Don’t try to hide that tax debt, or that credit card you’ve got hidden away in the back of the wallet. Be honest about all of your financial commitments.

Don’t apply online: As much as the online world has changed banking, sitting down face to face with some-one in your local bank is a far better option than applying online. Online applications will show up on your credit file and multiple enquiries could spark questions from your lender.

Stick to your budget: Even if your bank tells you your borrowing power is much higher than your budget, stick to that initial budget because it is your best guide of what you can real-istically afford. Remember, taking out a higher loan to get a better place may seem like a good idea at the time, but could have very serious long term implications. Sticking to your self-imposed rules is vital in the process.
