BUYING AND SELLING

A BRIEF GUIDE TO BUYING YOUR HOME DETERMINING WHAT YOU WANT So often, one has a vision of what the perfect home will look like; where it will be; what it will have and how little one needs to pay for it. I once met a real analytical buyer who had a book in which he had recorded the 194 properties he had viewed over the last 12 months in Plumstead. He admitted that he should have bought the 5th one he saw. I think he is still looking for the perfect home! I hope I can provide some insights which may help you to make a decision, whatever that decision will be.

FIRST QUESTION: WHY DON’T YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE? Consider the following: • It is not inexpensive to move home. You need to consider the following: • Removal costs • Relocation costs (new school uniforms, etc) • Transfer costs (transfer duty, attorney fees, bond cancellation costs, bond registration costs • Commission on the sale of your home • Re-vamp of the home you buy • Are you moving for the right reason? • When you make the decision to move, then move – if you make the decision to stay, then stay.

SECOND QUESTION: WHY ARE YOU BUYING? • Purchase decisions are most influenced by whether the property is to be purchased as: • A home • An investment • Obviously, the purchase of a home will also

be an investment in property, but the factors in arriving at a purchase position will be different. Remember: when considering the cost of your home as an investment only, you must factor into your thinking that there is a basic cost of accommodation – if you did not own the property, you would need to rent.

IF YOU HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO BUY A HOME, HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR DECISION MAKING: • Location - You can change the house, but you can’t change where it is. • You can fill in a pool (or put one in) • How happy are you to renovate? • Will the property suit a growing family and if your nest is getting emptier, is it able to cope? • Access to where you want to go (work, entertainment, schools) • How much will you regret missing the right home if someone else buys it? • Have you taken in to account the costs of maintaining the property? • Have you considered the costs to transfer the property into your name? • Look past the current owner’s occupation of the property. Some people like to live in an eclectic environment; some people like to be minimalistic. Some people like their lawns longer than others do! • Do your homework on the area you have chosen but don’t rule out adjacent areas. The homework you need to do would be as follows: • How quickly are the properties selling there? • What is the average price for a property with your requirements? • How is the capital growth in that area? • Are the neighbouring properties being upgraded? • Does this agent know what she is talking about?

1. The market is so overheated at the moment that you need to be as fast as you can to be offered the new release properties.

3. Check the web portals regularly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most active portal is www.property24.com Most agencies list their properties on this portal.

2. Make sure you are dealing with an agency, which automatically informs you of all new listings as they come on the market. Seeff automatically links your requirements to any new listings within your areas of interest and within your price parameters. If you provide maximum and minimum prices, and the suburbs, which interest you, you will be sent links to properties within 20% of your maximum

4. Agree to receive SMS alerts for new listings. 5. When advised of a Seeff Open Hour (the agents hold these during the week for new release properties) please attend or send a representative to attend. Most new release properties are often sold within 7 days of listing and very few make it as far as the traditional Sunday showhouse times.

Classical roses will be the backbone to any English or Country style garden. The flowering attributes of rose flowers are forever classical and a power house for perfume both in and out of your home. Nothing can beat GardenShopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best seller and all time trusted flowering favourite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lavender, a must for any garden! Whether you are planning to garden more waterwise, or you require a plant that will withstand hot and dry conditions or just to add a touch of nostalgia Lavenders are the firm favourite.
