smartdirectory Your handy pocket guide to everything property

There is a lot more to a property transaction than simply signing a deal. From preparing a property for sale, understanding the process, ensuring that the certification is in order, organising finance registering or cancelling bonds, moving in or out, fixing major or minor stuff – the list is endless! We have tried to identify many of these processes and eventualities and we hope this guide will assist and remind you of what to do. Smart Directory is a collection of suggested suppliers and businesses, some of which you will need – many of which you won’t. Most have offered their services at discount rates to assist you in your move. So, from attorneys to waterproofers; from architects to plumbers, this collection of special offers and discounts should go some way in helping you to make your move as cost efficient as possible. If you aren’t moving, this is also a handy collection of services which could help you enjoy your property cost-effectively. Most of our featured services will offer unique insight and advice regarding their services. Each business has either been referred to us or we know clients who have dealt successfully with them. We would also like to hear of any experiences you may have had so that we can provide a guide which contains service providers who can deliver quality and value for money. This is a quarterly guide, so your input is important. Also, the services and businesses featured here have paid to be part of this guide. It is also important to note that there is no commission paid to Seeff or any of its affiliates by any of these businesses or services. The discounts have been negotiated by us purely for the benefit of buyers, sellers, property owners or tenants who decide to make use of the services offered. Good luck with your move if you’re moving – if you aren’t, we are really pleased that you have found the right home!

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?

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.

WINTER MUST HAVES

WINTER MUST HAVES Article by: @home online

We’re slowly heading into winter, and if there’s one season you need to prep for, this is it.

Every season has its must have items, and in wintertime it’s all about keeping your home warm and cosy without losing that stylish touch. Our list of five must haves will prepare (and hopefully even make you excited) for the new season. 1. Cosy blankets Nothing says winter more than cuddling up on the sofa with a glass of wine after a long day at work or during the cold rainy weekends. Bring warmth to your space with some knitted or fur blankets and embrace the comfort of snuggling up in cosy blankets and throws during the cold winter months. 2. Textured gownsTexturedG When the weather begins to cool down, there is nothing more heavenly than shrugging off the day’s worries and wrapping up in the comfort of a soft and cosy gown. Make bedtime even better this winter by wrapping yourself up in our range of textured gowns. 3. Early morning coffee With rain replacing summer sunshine,Earlymorning your reluctance to get out of bed tends to go up

exponentially! Luckily the smell of a delicious cup of coffee can work wonders, so make sure you invest in a new coffee machine this winter and read our 9 tips to become a coffee connoisseur. 4. Winter cookware Winter is the season for comfort food, and you’ll need at least one new casserole dish to prepare your healthy winter warmers in. Love, cook and celebrate winter with a non-stick cookware casserole – perfect for when you’re craving wholesome meals or hosting a dinner party. 5. Comfort food Winter From butternut soup to lasagne, chicken pasta to Thai green curry, you need hearty recipes to keep you warm over the next few months. To go with your new cookware, gather a few new recipes to try out this winter and spoil your family with. We love this pork belly with moussaka vinaigrette recipe by George Calombaris. We hope these suggestions have warmed you up to the idea of cosy nights in, time with friends and family, and a little shopping trip or two to ensure you’re all set to brave the next few months. If you can think of any other winter must-haves, post a comment and let us know, we’d love to hear from you. smart directory | smart move | seeff.com | 9

B A K E D P O TAT O S O U P “The parmesan rind adds a nice savoury note, but don’t worry if you don’t have it – this is a soup to warm you up, not send you out into the cold to the shops.” SERVES 4–6

•

COOKS IN 2H20M

Ingredients 3 large baking potatoes or leftover baked potatoes 40g butter 1 onion 1 Parmesan rind, whatever size you have in the fridge, optional 1.5 litres organic chicken or vegetable stock sour cream 1 small bunch of fresh chives

Method

cook the onion for 10 minutes, or until soft.

If you’re using leftover baked potatoes, skip these first 3 steps. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/ gas 4. Wash the potatoes and dry well, then prick each one with a fork and wrap in foil.

Cut the potatoes, skin and all, into 2cm chunks. Add the potato and Parmesan rind to the pan, season, then cook for 5 minutes.

Put on a rack in the middle of the oven and cook for about 1 hour 15 minutes. The exact time depends on the size of your potatoes, but to check, give them a quick squeeze, bearing in mind they’ll be hot: the potato should just give under your fingers. Remove from the oven then, when cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters. Leave to cool completely. Peel and dice the onion. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat and

Add 1.25 litres of stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the rind, then purée the soup until smooth with a stick blender or in a liquidiser. Return to the pan, check the seasoning, and thin with the remaining stock, if you like. Serve garnished with a dollop of sour cream, snipped chives and a pinch of black pepper. Delicious with crumbled Lancashire cheese and crisp, crumbled bacon on the side for the whole baked potato experience. Read more at http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes

Ingredients olive oil 1 large onion, peeled and chopped 1 leek, trimmed and sliced 2 stalks of celery, sliced 2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped 2 courgettes, roughly chopped 100g orzo 50g frozen peas 200g cooked chicken, shredded a small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley

To prepare the stock, place all of the ingredients in a large saucepan. Cover with 3 litres of cold water, then season with a little salt. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, skimming any froth off the surface with a spoon. Cover with a lid, lower the heat and simmer slowly for 3 hours. Strain the broth through a sieve, discarding the solids, then leave it to cool. To make your soup, add a splash of oil to another large saucepan and place over a medium heat. Add all the vegetables, except the peas, and sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in the orzo, pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until the veg are cooked and orzo is soft, then stir in the peas and chicken until heated through. Season to taste. Divide the soup between bowls, top with the herbs, and serve.
