elcome our special edition of Coastline for the Coolangatta Tweed region, our community and lifestyle magazine.
It has been an exciting past few months for our team with the opening of our new office in a prominent location at 100 Griffith Street, Coolangatta. We have also moved our sales office in Tweed Mall from shop 23 to shop 58 (near Coles) as the centre is undergoing some transformation.
Coastline magazine started over 12 months ago from our Palm Beach office. We have received great community feedback since our first edition so we are looking forward to providing the same service to the Coolangatta, Tweed and surrounding communities. As summer edges closer and Spring is in the air, and we are seeing more properties hit the market for sale as they typically do at this time of the year. The suburb which has seen the most growth this quarter is Bilinga which has seen the median house prices grow by 22.2%. Coolangatta also saw substantial growth with 18.8% with the median house price now sitting at $822,500. We have included a full market update including the rental statistics in this issue. Please feel free to pass on any suggestions of what you would like to see in our future editions, and please call in to our new office at shop 5/100 Griffith Street to meet our team! Best Wishes

WHY ARE BANKS CHANGING INTEREST RATES WHEN THE RESERVE BANK OF AUSTRALIA (RBA) HASN’T?
W
e’ve had clients ask us recently why interest rates are being increased by the banks when the RBA hasn’t had a rate increase. To explain, we need to give you a bit of a quick run down on a few things.
your mortgage which, would go up if the cash rate went up.
HOW DOES THE RESERVE BANK AFFECT INTEREST RATES? The RBA is owned by the government and it issues Australian currency. It also seeks to provide stability (or some control) over Australia’s financial system. The RBA Board makes decisions as to the interest rate on cash for the funds that banks borrow from other banks. An increase or decrease in the cash rate affects many factors in Australia’s economy. This includes the interest rate that you pay for
SO WHY ARE THE BANKS CHANGING THEIR INTEREST RATES NOW? The major banks in particular get a certain amount of their funds (to lend to you) from overseas. This is a complex situation to explain, however there are more funds obtained from overseas when there are less funds deposited into banks from within Australia. The sources of funding for banks includes a combination of the banks own equity, the deposited funds and then their borrowed funds. The equity situation for a lender is quite stable, however less deposits put into banks leads to more overseas funds borrowed by the banks. - by Kirsty Best

ABOUT US Living Home Loans is built on the three pillars of ‘‘Focus, Care and Innovationʼʼ, a foundation which allows property buyers to get finance approved and to cultivate their dreams. By trusting in the things they both knew would work - focus to set a goal and then stick to it – care - provide time and support to nurture its creation and allow it to happen - and innovation - to mold and create a business unique to them.
Kirsty and Andrew Best established Living Home Loans in 2014 as a vehicle to help property buyers who are trying to achieve financial peace of mind. Individual banks had retained loan customers out of loyalty - but this left property buyers with reduced options of loans to choose from and often not the best loan for them. Other brokers were available but their work stopped at obtaining the loan. They would also go out of contact often, leaving the buyer in the dark as to what was going on.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO CANDo all the running around for you? Charge no fees, yet source finance and negotiate on your behalf?
Both Andrew and Kirsty share a common desire to help people grow, expand, and succeed, and to continue doing so themselves. They have brought a unique approach which considers both money and lifestyle.

Like LJ Hooker’s Coolangatta office,
we deal with clients that are buying or selling in both QLD and NSW. It is important to remember that there are some key differences when it comes to property transactions depending on what side of the border you are buying or selling on.
24
NSW
QLD
In NSW, the Contract for Sale of Land is prepared by the vendor’s solicitor or conveyancer. Once it is completed, the contract is then sent to the real estate agent for marketing purposes. A Contract of Sale must contain certain ‘prescribed documents’. These documents are to help any prospective purchaser decide whether to proceed. They may include zoning documents, sewerage, easements and other relevant searches for your property. Additional searches may be undertaken by the purchaser’s solicitor or conveyancer that are not included in the prescribed searches, ie roads and transport searches to see if the property may be impacted by future infrastructure development. When it comes to your contract becoming unconditional, there is a 5 day cooling off period. There may also be conditions based on the contract becoming unconditional, like a satisfactory pest and building report. Once the conditions have been met and the cooling off period has expired then the contract becomes unconditional and is legally binding on both sides. If a purchaser decides not to proceed during a cooling off period then they may be required to forfeit a 0.25% deposit paid on the property. It is therefore important that you obtain advice prior to entering into a contract for purchase.
In QLD a solicitor can prepare your Contract of Sale but it is more common for the agent to do so. There is far less information contained in a QLD Contract of Sale than in NSW. As a result, purchasers in QLD will normally be required to undertake more searches of their own to ensure the property suits their needs. These need to be conducted early in the piece, often before exchange of contracts or in the cooling off period. In QLD the cooling off period is needed so that the purchaser can undertake searches that were not provided previously as they are in NSW. QLD contracts are also normally subject to a standard pest and building clause and finance clauses. This is not as common practice in NSW, particularly finance. While most solicitors that deal with transactions on both sides of the border will be used to finance clauses, if you are coming from NSW and your solicitor is not familiar with QLD conditions this may cause you issues. Once loan and pest and building approvals are OK then generally a QLD contract will become unconditional. There are a range of other issues that may affect your property transaction depending on whether it is in NSW or QLD. If in doubt, feel free to give our office a call.

Maintenance and Care of your Property Every dwelling/property needs to have a regular maintenance program in place to prevent premature deterioration of the building elements. This in turn will prolong the life of the dwelling/property. • Painting and staining to exposed timber members. • Remove vegetation away from dwelling/ property. • Remove debris from gutters and downpipes. • Insure surface/ground water is directed clear of the building footprint. • Cleaning of the external of the building helps to prevent mould forming which can cause deterioration of the building elements.

What your Inspector should be doing for you at your inspection • Your inspector should be looking at all aspects of your property internally and externally. • Your inspector needs to gain access to the subfloor area if there is one (more common in older buildings/dwellings and dwellings on sloppy sites). Inspection of the roof void if one is applicable to your building/dwelling. • These two areas of your property are very important areas to be inspected as they can show in particular problems which could arise at later stages long after your purchase. • If your inspector does not look in these areas they are

not carrying out a true and thorough inspection. • Problems which could occur and/or be problems at the time of inspection include sub floor drainage; ventilation; water leaks to wet areas and termite activity (We recommend a licensed Pest Inspector also carry out a thorough inspection). These issues can cause decay to timber floor framing members and lead to mould which can also cause decay. • Settlement and movement to floor framing and supporting members which will reduce the long term structural integrity of your building. • The roof void needs to be inspected to identify water leaks into the roof cavity. This can only be located from within the roof space, with evidence of staining and damage to ceiling linings and roof framing members. • Insulation covering light fittings, termite workings and damage to roof and wall framing members (again we recommend a licensed Pest Inspector also carry out a thorough inspection). • These two areas as well as the external and internal elements of the property make up an accurate report to give you, the purchaser, the information and conditions

If you had bought $1,000.00 of Lehman Brothers shares one year ago, you would have $0.00 TODAY! BUT.... If you purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then returned the aluminum cans for recycling YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED $214.00

O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk allows you to walk through a canopy of flowering and fruiting trees covered by vines whilst you explore the epiphytic orchids and ferns surrounded by the many birds and animals that inhabit the tree tops. The Tree Top Walk, was the first of its kind in Australia, is 180 metres in length and is made up of nine suspension bridges, with much of the walkway being 15 metres above the ground. Profiles depicting the rainforest flora close by have been placed along the walkway to assist visitors in identifying the plants in the immediate vicinity. Two observation decks have been
constructed in a Strangler Fig above the walk way, the highest one being 30 metres (approximately 110 feet) above the ground. The Tree Top Walk is a unique and innovative structure that gives visitors what can only be described as an exhilarating experience - a chance to observe life in the rainforest canopy at close range for the first time in their lives. Free of charge and there is no age or height restrictions for this activity. However, parental guidance of young children during the climbing aspect of the activity is recommended.
