The Nidas Touch... Turns to d l o s LeoNIDAS Proestos 0409 300 733
What my clients say... From the beginning at the open home Leonidas was so helpful and shared great knowledge of the house and area. His caring and helpful nature was consistent and evident all the way through negotiations and the overall sale. As purchasers we had a stack of questions, of which Leonidas attended to and got the answers we required very quickly. Leonidas goes above and beyond the call of duty for both sellers and purchasers. Christopher & Sherrene - Buyer - Glenmore Park Leon has been working in our area for many years and has extensive knowledge of the area also. We actually purchased our first home in the area from him and he has recently sold it for us. He is very professional, friendly, honest, upfront and exceeded our expectations once again. Thank you Leon for taking care of us. Belinda & David - Seller - Oxley Park
Leon was fantastic. He sold my house in 1 month when my first agent couldn’t sell it after 4 months. He knew all the right information about my house and went to every open home and inspection. Thank you so much Leon. I will highly recommend you to anyone selling their home. Tiarna - Seller - Kingswood

NEWS FEATURE
WOW WITH WALLPAPER TRENDS AND STYLES SET TO DEFINE 2021 Having won over many homeowners in 2020, wallpaper is set to be a must-have this year. A well - chosen design can complement an aesthetic or introduce bold elements to a room. Personal relationships with nature, materials and colours will be a focus in 2021. Purples and blues, accompanied by deep greens and soft yellows will set the tone, combined in organic and geometric shapes. “In 2020, we saw the emergence of Biophilic design, the desire to bring the outside in to connect with the natural elements,” said Paula Taylor, Trends and Design Expert at Superfresco Easy. “This connection was of everincreasing importance to our health and wellbeing in urban society, as research has shown that even indirect elements of nature help reduce stress, blood pressure and promotes wellbeing.” As Australians adjust to a new year and look to redesign or revamp their home interiors, Ms Taylor unravels the key wallpaper trends that will define the homes of 2021... Forecast: The future is now
Western Property ISSUE NUMBER 339
Produced by The Western Weekender
Forward focused while incorporating the past, Forecast is inspired by the vivid 80s, embracing ultraviolet purples and pixelated elements. Breaking through the “less is more” minimalist motto that has been prominent in the last few years, this modern 80s trend will return with playful shapes, bold colours and eccentric patterns. “Nostalgia became an interior inspiration in 2020 as we longed for times before the pandemic, but as we look to 2021 many will want to inject memories of their past with vibrancy and joy,” Ms Taylor said. Recharge: Self care and comfort “Relaxing at home will never go out of style, making interiors that reduce stress, calm and sooth a big trend for 2021. Recharge embodies balance and geometry with a need to create order through simplified structures and architectural references, such as circular shapes, cocoon-like spaces and the multifunctionality of our homes,” Ms Taylor said.
time’ inspired trend focuses on intricate and ornate motifs. The art deco design movement will see a resurgence and will feature bold geometric shapes and sleek artistry in the architecture of the home.
Shapeshifter: Transform, adapt As the name suggests, Shapeshifter is all about adapting to our surroundings. A blend of glitchy elements and hallucinogenic features drive this trend which mixes deep purple tones with statement greens and grounding greys.
Impulse: In the spotlight Impulse is driven by our urge for experience. This ‘show
Authentic: Back to our roots The Authentic trend recalls the rich and comforting earth tones of the decade.

BROKING BREAKDOWN
HELP STILL AVAILABLE MOST HAVE RESUMED PAYMENTS
MARK STEVENSON BELLPARTNERS.COM
Australians struggling to meet mortgage commitments as a result of the economic impact of COVID- 19 are still being offered support by the banks. Many thousands of homeowners took up the option last year when the pandemic hit to defer their mortgage repayments for six months and some even stretched this out to over nine months. This enabled mortgage holders, particularly if they had lost work, to continue to support their families and even consolidate savings. A further drop in interest rates over the past year has also been of benefit to homeowners. According to data from the nation’s largest banks, 91 per cent of deferred loans overall have
resumed payments with just five per cent of business loans and 13 per cent of housing loans still on pause. While the majority of those who deferred repayments have resumed activity on their loans, banks are still supporting those who need further assistance. Specialised hardship teams will work with customers unable to either meet their commitments, make reduced repayments or restructure their loans. Australian Banking Association CEO, Anna Bligh, has assured customers banks are taking a “careful and measured” approach and paying close attention to a customer’s individual circumstances.
“Australian banks will continue to help customers and businesses turn the corner after the pandemic, while providing a fair and compassionate approach to those who can’t get back on their feet,” she said. Mark’s Shout One negative of extending your deferral is it will lead to even more interest being accrued on your loan, but this is a hit you may have to take for the team to get through your COVID pain. While the banks are ready to support you with continued mortgage deferrals, an expert finance broker is also happy to take your call to discuss your situation and liaise with your bank if need be.

ASK YOUR LOCAL EXPERT PEST MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEALING WITH COCKROACHES? In Australia, there are many cockroach variations, including German, American and Oriental Cockroaches. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A COCKROACH INFESTATION? The earlier you spot that you might have cockroaches at home the easier it is to eliminate them and their infestations. Look for their droppings, ranging from tiny pepper stains or coffee grounds to larger pellets. You will also find ootheca, which is the roach egg case, as the roaches start feeding more at home. CAN YOU SMELL COCKROACHES? If you start smelling an oily or musty odour, it is probably time you call a pest control specialist. You will start seeing the cockroaches more at night or in dark rooms, but soon enough you will see them all the time. If you see a dead roach, this does not mean the infestation is over. You still need to talk to a pest control specialist, as it is more than likely ongoing. To have your home inspected and protected against cockroaches and other pests, contact Emerson’s Envirocare!
