Brief Guide

The Non Bermudian’s to buying Property In Bermuda by Sharon Cranfield of Cranfields Property Ltd. Non Bermudians may purchase property in Bermuda subject to certain restrictions.

Non Bermudians may buy a house which has an ARV (Annual Rental Value) of over $153,000 or a condominium with an ARV over $32,400. Once the buyer enters into a contract to purchase a property they will be required to submit an application for a “License to Acquire” to the Bermuda Government along with a consideration fee of $1,416.

Currently the cost of the “License to Acquire” is 6% of the purchase price for a condominium, 8 % of the purchase price for a House and 6.5% for properties that are part of a Tourism Designated Development.

After 30 September 2015 the license fees are due to increase to 8% on a

condominium and 12.5% on a house.

Non Bermudians may not buy vacant land, commercial property. Non Bermudian owners of property may be granted permission to rent their property by the Immigration Department of the Bermuda Government. Permission rarely extends to periods of more than a year and incurs a 7.25 % tax on that rental income.

Prospective international buyers should review the Bermuda Immigration and Protection Act 2007 for more in-depth information.

If you are considering buying a house or condo in Bermuda then any of IPN’s Real Estate Agents would be of great assistance to help navigate the process and suggest suitable properties for consideration.

"Penarth" Pembroke

"Leamington House"

This gracious old Bermuda home with a deep wrap around porch stands on 0.65 acres of gently sloping land in a prominent yet peaceful position on Rosemont Avenue just a short walk to town.

The greater house has generously proportioned rooms with lovely high ceilings and beautiful moldings and many further exquisite period features.

It has the added bonus of two one bedroom apartments, one of which is very modern and newly built. Both commanding good rental income and not in keen eyesight of the house.

There is also a large carriage house, discreetly placed away from the main property which is presently being used as a nursery school and, of course, provides another source of income.

This quintessential Bermuda home is a must see for those who love typical Bermuda architecture. Freesias bloom gaily in the garden and there are established Frangipani and Poinciana trees.

Whilst it lends itself to a beautiful family compound it may also be deemed an excellent investment property for those wishing to capitalize on its rental income or perhaps to develop the property in to a guest house, or condominiums or professional offices.

Homes like this rarely come on the market. This property has only changed hands since the original owner built it twice in over a 100 years.

Leamington House is one of the most beautiful homes available for sale in the overseas market. It stands on 1.734 acres of land and has around 8,000 square feet of living space, which includes a charming newly renovated guest cottage and a small pool cottage. There is also a deeded right of way to a dock on Castle Harbour and a wonderful pagoda and folly on the grounds.

The bright and spacious entrance hall welcomes you to this attractive home, where there is a wonderful dining area with fireplace and also leads through French doors to a lovely covered verandah and a courtyard full of exotic plants.

The bright and airy kitchen is state-of-the-art and has a cheerful breakfast area which is perfect for casual dining and looks out to the garden, pool and beyond to the waters of Castle Harbour..

The sumptuous master bedroom suite also has a fireplace and his and hers dressing rooms, a superb bathroom and an exquisite buttery which showcases the vintage, clawfoot bathtub. The first guest bedroom is very large, again with a fireplace, a large dressing room and superb bathroom with a whirlpool tub and steam shower. Two other lovely bedrooms share a bathroom.

Amenities include a large entertainment room with wet bar, laundry room, climate controlled wine cellar, central air-conditioning/heating, heated swimming pool, central music system, security and central vacuum system.

There is plenty of room for a tennis court, croquet lawn, putting green or orchard.

Price $3,200,000 Please call Britt Reiss on (441) 747-8589 or email britt_helene@yahoo.com

Price $7,800,000 - Available to Non-Bermudians Please call Gil Butterfield on (441) 534-7746 or email butterfield1@northrock.bm

Cliff Side Terrace-Upper Unit On entering this stunning Cliffside Penthouse one sees the spectacular panoramic views of Bermuda’s turquoise and blue South Shore seas. The unusually high tray ceilings make this condominium seem even more spacious than it is.

One can spend many an evening on the generously proportioned covered verandahs which are accessed by French doors from the three south facing rooms.

The condominium has a large open plan living and dining room and an open plan kitchen with a breakfast bar and all top of the line appliances with double ovens, gas hob, gas fireplace and wooden floors throughout. The bathrooms have large walk-in glass stall showers, travertine floors, a Jacuzzi tub in the master and there is ample closet space throughout. There is also central air conditioning and surround sound.

There are three en-suite bedrooms and a fourth bedroom/study. This is a customized home in immaculate condition and so centrally located it is only a short distance from the Coral Beach and many other beautiful South Shore beaches. This Penthouse has an elevator to its own private entrance hall.

There are only three units in total. The square footage including the hall and balconies is approximately 2,890.

Price $2,300,000 Available to Non-Bermudians and PRC holders.

Please call Gil Butterfield on (441) 534-7746 or email butterfield1@northrock.bm

Kitchen Heart Home

The is the

of the

By Jacqueline Ward, Island Property News

If there is one room in the house you are in all the time, it’s the kitchen. Today’s kitchen is more than just the 50’s housewife’s domain. It’s a gathering space for the family, a gossip spot for friends, a place to do homework or host dinner parties in, a dinning area as well as a cooking area and somewhere for everyone to hang. The modern kitchen can be a place of manic activity or somewhere to slow down and catch up.

Today, kitchens come in all shapes and sizes and the designs and styles can vary to match anyone’s needs. This month our experts bring you a variery of ways to better your kitchen space to make is both functional and beautiful. There is no standard on what is the perfect kitchen. The perfect kitchen is based on you and your lifestyle, and the world - in this case your kitchen is your oyster!

6 Island Property News • November 2015 • www.ipn.bm

Layout

The number one priority is creating an attractive and efficient work surface and ensuring easy access between the three points of the kitchen triangle—the sink, fridge and cooker.

Make sure the space between these points is not too small that people would be tripping over each other or too big that food preparation becomes burdensome.

Design

The design of your kitchen depends on your tastes and lifestyle.

Are you a top chef in training or prefer to rely on the microwave?

Do you have a big family or need the kitchen to act as a multiuse space? Do you want it to be warm and cozy or modern and chic? It’s all up to you.

That being said, make sure to not go too trendy. The latest designs, colors, or high-end equipment may not be the best choice and won’t get you your return on investment. Look for designs and appliances that are timeless. Kitchen designers possess the latest trends, ideas, and manufacturer’s details, and can help you identify your specific needs and translate those details into an efficient plan according to your taste.

Storage

Kitchens contain a lot of “stuff” and it’s often hard to determine what the best storage options are to ensure things are accessible but also concealed. Almost every kitchen has some wasted space but good planning can help minimize this. Consider extra long upper cabinets or the space above the fridge and make sure to place lighting along the molding to draw the eyes up.

One of the major trends in kitchen renovations is the use of drawers for storage of crockery, cooking utensils and saucepans, as well as smaller appliances. This removes the frustration of searching behind item after item in cupboards that are too high or too deep to see into.

Appliances

Your appliances should also address the way you live.

Manufacturers have developed many innovations to make life easier in the kitchen: versatile double-oven ranges, speedy induction cooktops, and refrigerators with flexible storage.

Install equipment that is as up to date as possible, so it won’t look outmodled in 10 years. And make sure the price bracket of your kitchen matches the price bracket of your house.

Function

While it’s a good idea to design your kitchen according to your tastes and styles, it’s also extremely important to design your kitchen space around your needs and wants.

If a kitchen isn’t functional then you’re only going to get frustrated in it. You have to be able to work in it easily and efficiently.

Think about it. What items can be stored or placed differently to make your kitchen a better place to work in. Go through all the things you have in your cupboards and then work out where they would best be placed: oils and spices near the cooktop, baking trays near the oven, platters and chopping boards near the workspace, and access to dinnerware and cutlery away from the work zone so others can assist in setting the table or dishing up.

Lighting

DHPS Limited

The kitchen is one room where you can’t afford to have poor lighting. It’s not only a matter of design and atmosphere, but also a safety matter when it comes to handling sharp kitchenware.

Evaluate the work areas and focus on how you can provide each spot with the light it needs.

Providing professional, reliable and award winning plumbing services Island-wide.

One simple trick to make your kitchen appear bigger is to make the most of the natural light available. Build your shelves and appliances around the windows and your kitchen will instantly be more inviting. If your window is in an awkward space, combine wall cabinets in different heights, widths and depths to create an interesting, dynamic storage solution in an otherwise restricted space.

Multi-Use Space

Kitchens now serve as spaces not just for cooking but for a variety of uses. Many now incorporate breakfast bars or eating areas, multi-level countertops for kids and adults, and message or office space.

As the kitchen is a place for the whole family, incorporating a small office space or chalkboard makes the kitchen space more welcoming to everyone. It offers a place to do homework, for parents and kids to leave messages and for the family to know important information and stay updated (ie what’s for dinner and if Jonny needs to be picked up from soccer practice today).

Designing the Perfect Kitchen Cabinets Expert Advice from BS&R Group

They say the kitchen is the most used room of the house. So it makes sense that you’d want yours to not only look nice but also run smoothly. If you’re going to be in it everyday you want a space that works for your lifestyle, right?

and to scale. At BS&R Group, we are able to describe certain design factors that can impact those cabinets, such as materials like Medex MDF. It’s stable, machinable, moisture resistant and a perfect product for veneering. It is also less expensive than typical cabinet ply as well.

There are a lot of elements that go into creating the perfect kitchen; from layout to workspace, but in our opinion it all comes down to cabinetry and drawers.

The Design

As builders of custom cabinetry, we get asked a lot about how to create the perfect kitchen cabinets. The answer is it varies depending on tastes, lifestyle, use and budgets. Keep in mind that, in a typical remodeling budget, about half of the cost will be allocated to the cabinets alone. Selecting them therefore is one of the most important design decisions you’ll make for your kitchen.

The Plan Cabinets need to be beautiful as well as functional so consider what you want and where you want it before going into aesthetics.

Fold newspaper pages to the size of various cabinetry pieces and appliances, then move the pages around within the space. This is a perfect way to determine just how big a center island would be in your kitchen, or how big a new built-in wall cabinet should be.

Asking for cabinet design help from a professional can assist you when it comes to choosing cabinetry that is balanced in proportion

A space should be comfortable and easy to use for anyone, regardless of age or ability. Consider your work zones in the kitchen and how you can make it easier to function in this area. Would a spice drawer be useful next to the stove? Would corner drawers give you more storage rather than dead space?

With custom cabinets, the sky’s the limit. Practically anything you can dream up you can have built. Sizes and dimensions are variable and can be customized to fit specific spaces. When customizing, you can select from a myriad of specialty features, and the quality of workmanship will be high.

We like to suggest ergonomic kitchen designs like raising the stove and dishwasher for easy access, receptacles under the upper cabinets so they aren’t visible on the wall, different counter heights, and using drawers instead of doors on bottom cabinets.

The Aesthetics Creating the perfect kitchen cabinets for your space all comes down to the details that make it perfect for you. Do you need a lot of storage? Or spend a lot of time in the kitchen and need to multi task? Do you love texture and design elements?

Stylized kitchens today are created with details that can make any kitchen unique. Light-stained wood can be used against rubbed paint or dark finishes, and a variety of doors, features and hardware can be combined creatively for a distinctive look. Glass panels, raised panels, scalloped edges, open shelving and overlay doors are just some of the design options you can choose from.

Maintaining a sense of balance and unity is the challenge (and the fun) in custom designing a kitchen. If you’re going to be in more than any other room you better enjoy it. Because in the end, if a kitchen isn’t functional then it’s a waste of space.

Kitchen Hacks Use Magnets

Organize your spices in a clever way by making use of magnets. You can also use magnets for storing knives so that you don’t have to use a knife block… just make sure you use a strong enough magnet so that your kitchen doesn’t rain knives.

Make Freezer Shelves With Magazine Holders

Take some magazine holders and turn them on their sides for some great shelves that can be used to organize and protect flat-ish items.

Over The Sink Cutting Board

For many families, entertaining and eating is done right in the kitchen, which means that not only do you want a clean kitchen for cooking, but you’ll also want space for having company over. For those that have small kitchens, having the space necessary means making use of every nook and cranny.

These simple kitchen hacks will help you maximize your storage space, allowing you to keep your kitchen organized… but that’s not all! We also have some handy kitchen hacks that make cleaning super simple and quick! When it comes to cleaning around the house, the kitchen should be your priority. Why? Because it’s where the FOOD is!

Adapted from www.lifehack.org

Use A Collapsible Wine Rack For Storing Bottles

Place a collapsible wine rack on the lower shelf of your refrigerator to keep bottles (wine, soda, water, etc.) on their sides.

How To Keep Your Sponge Dry and Mildew Free

Keep your sponge from becoming gross and unusable with a simple alligator clip.

Just place the sponge upright which will prevent it from sitting in water as well as help it air dry fast.

Rid Your Kitchen Of Foul Odors (At Least For A Day)

Preserve precious counter space with an over the sink cutting board. Not only do you save on either counter or cabinet space, but with these boards you can prevent a disaster on your kitchen counter or floor. Saves a lot of clean up with food prep! As an added bonus you can also use it to hide dirty dishes when an unexpected guest comes over.

If your kitchen smells a bit funky or you just want to bing back memories of mom’s chocolate chip cookies, grab some vanilla extract. Put two caps full into an oven proof dish and in your oven for an hour at 300 degrees. The smell will encompass your kitchen as well as other parts of your home for about a day.

Add More Storage By Hacking “Unopenable” Drawers

Clean Your Wooden Cutting Boards With Lemon And Salt

Use A Tension Rod To Hang Cleaning Products

Freshen Your Dishwasher

Cabinet and drawer space can come at a premium, especially when working with a small kitchen, but fear not! Make use of those un-openable drawers that are beneath your sink. Additionally, you can build toe-kick drawers under your base cabinets.

A tension rod can be a great way for storing and organizing spray bottles so that you have additional space in an otherwise cramped under-sink cabinet.

10 Island Property News • November 2015 • www.ipn.bm

To freshen up your cutting board and ensure that it’s clean, sprinkle some coarse salt and then use half a lemon (cut side down) to scrub the board. Make sure to squeeze some lemon juice as you go - let it sit for 5 minutes. Scrape the dirty liquid off and then rinse with some water.

It’s probably never occurred that your dishwasher needs to be cleaned since it’s constantly cleaning itself and the dishes every time you run it, but every so often it’s a good idea to freshen it up.

Just run a cycle with vinegar and then do another for rinsing!

Easy Transformations to make your kitchen functional AND fabulous Expert Advice from Surface Trends Kitchens can often fall a bit flat especially if you’ve had the same design aesthetic for years. But it’s hard to jazz up a space where most of it has to be a certain way to be functional. Besides a full remodel there are many ways to invigorate your kitchen into a room you love.

One way to do just this is to utilize tile and stone in your kitchen to add color, texture and style. There are a lot of very hot trends in tile and stone happening in the home and some exciting ones are popping up in the kitchen. It is one of the only rooms in the house where tile can be used in many different applications with different types and still enhance the beauty of the space.

What to Use:

Naturally there are many types and styles of tile and stone that can be used in a kitchen space. Depending on the application, the type of tile can be chosen not only for its style merits, but also how functional it is in the space.

Glass is a popular tile for backsplashes and as accents. Coming in a variety of colors, glass adds depth, sparkle and luminescence not found in ceramic or natural stone.

Styles like vinyl, cork and bamboo tiles are most commonly used in flooring.

They are non-slippery and durable which makes them great for high traffic areas like the kitchen.

Where to use it:

When it comes to kitchens it’s all about the backsplash for us. From colors to designs to styles the backsplash can add a unique aesthetic to your flat kitchen. This is where you’re able to add texture and depth to your space and give it your own unique style.

Tile or stone countertops are also a popular choice for people who are seeking a versatile and budget-friendly surface. The surface is heat and stain-resistant, and they’re available in a wealth of colors, materials, sizes and patterns You might also want to consider incorporating a few of your countertop tiles into the design of your backsplash in order to help the two areas mesh well.

Countertops are commonly quarry, ceramic, and porcelain as they are easy to maintain and clean.

Finally tile and stone is perfect for kitchen flooring. It’s durable enough to withstand heavy foot traffic, pets, spilled foods and cleaning supplies. When choosing floor tile find one that has a slight raised pattern, or texture to it to allow for a safer kitchen floor.

Metal tiles are also becoming a hot trend these days. Perfect for complementing stainless steal appliances metal tile can come in a variety of finishes from warm bronze or copper to brushed or satin.

It doesn’t take too much to jazz up your dull kitchen or make the space your own. Tile and stone are the perfect medium to transform your kitchen from boring to functional fabulousness.
