on the cover

Luxuriant choice ENTER this home and it’s clear to see this Tim Ditchfield design is a master class in luxury. Every detail of this home has been built to an exacting standard and the floorplan has been designed to capitalise on the home’s elevated position to offer stunning ocean views.

From the oversized glass entry door to the impeccably-placed picture windows that frame the ocean views, everything is of grand proportion, while the New Guinea teak flooring throughout and stunning bathrooms show no expense has been spared in creating this luxurious beachside property.

Living is spread over two levels with the lower-level featuring two bedrooms with walk-through wardrobes and ensuites at the front of the property, plus a guest suite

with views across the pool. This space opens out to a large covered terrace with well-equipped outdoor kitchen and a grassed area complete with a cubby house for the kids, plus the solar-heated pool with water feature.

Upstairs, the master suite features an opulent dressing room and ensuite, plus a private balcony.

Across the landing is a home office with built-in storage and another bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and views over the pool.

The main living spaces are upstairs to make the most of the ocean breezes and views. A walkway leads down to the open-plan living, kitchen and dining where oversized glass stacker doors create a seamless transition from inside/outside living.

Exceptional care has gone into

creating this living space as both functional and luxurious. Some of the features include Gaggenau appliances, a fireplace, a large sliding window on the deck to control airflow, a drop-down TV near the outdoor kitchen, and an Emperador light honed marble bench top.

Add in the eight-zone Sonos music system and this space is perfect for entertaining.

The property features a nine-zone air-conditioning system that allows individual temperature control throughout the residence, but the clever use of oversized stacker doors and banks of louvered windows throughout means plenty of fresh breezes can flow through the home along with plenty of natural light.

This property also features a dream garage for five-plus vehicles.

Avoiding the tenancy storms SUMMER is just around the corner and often brings with it big storms and flooding, but who cleans up the mess when you’re a tenant?

The Residential Tenancies Authority

Be prepared to meet the market PURCHASING a property to put on the rental market can be an exciting time but that excitement can quickly turn to anxiety and stress if the property remains vacant.

(RTA) has a range of top tips for dealing with the clean-up after a big storm or flooding and recommends keeping communication open between landlords and tenants after a

According to the RTA, landlords and

· If the property is deemed unliveable and

tenants should talk as soon as possible

the tenant has to live elsewhere for a short period while the property is being fixed, the landlord and tenant can negotiate amendments to their agreement regarding rent payments for that period.

following the storm and discuss the state of the rental property and determine if any action needs to be taken.

If repairs are required, it is usually the landlord’s responsibility to organise and pay

for repairs and they should negotiate with the tenant to find a suitable time for the repairs to be done.

But there are a range of other situations

But, if the property becomes unsafe to live in, either the tenant or the landlord has to officially end the tenancy agreement by issuing the relevant form.

may choose to negotiate a rent reduction.

Let’s look at an example of the dramatic effects that extended vacancy has on your rental returns. The property you have is worth $475 per week but you want $500 per week and it takes you four weeks to accept that it is overpriced.

You drop the price to $475 and tenants are found quickly but not before you have lost $1900 worth of income chasing a higher rent. If the tenants have only signed a six-month lease then the effective rental return for that lease period has dropped dramatically to only $402 per week.

Setting the correct rental price for your property is essential if you wish to find tenants quickly.

a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) from multiple agencies. These reports are an indepth analysis of your home's worth on the rental market and it compares your property with other similar properties that have recently been rented.

Be sure to question an agent that has given you an unusually high rental estimate as they may be using this as a strategy to get you to sign the property management agreement with them.

Matching your expectations to reality can sometimes be difficult but it is important to not let your emotions get involved.

As the property is an investment ensure you keep your decisions businesslike. Don’t base your rental asking price around your mortgage repayments and remember that the market is most qualified to set the rental price.
