WESTPORT Westport is a diverse area made up of a range of residential, commercial and historical buildings such as Grantham House, Dove Cottage and Douglas Vale Homestead and Winery. The area is geographically bound to the western fringe of the CBD and the Hastings River to the north making it quite a large area. The area was amongst one of the first to be utilised during the original colony with its elevated position, rich fertile soils and it’s close proximity to the town shipping wharf made it a strategic position. It was later discovered to have a rich natural deposit of the highly prized mineral iron oxide which was mined and refined for use in the manufacture of bricks as well as in paint production. These days Westport is a popular residential area. It’s a convenient central position for access to town and hospital. The area has been undergoing a gradual transition with older homes now being renewed and renovated. The area now boasts both primary and secondary schools, TAFE campus and neighbourhood shops, commercial premises and the Panthers Entertainment centre.

HISTORIC DOVE COTTAGE A true rarity in Port Macquarie sits the historic Dove Cottage which occupies a prime hilltop location right within the town centre. The cottage has commanding views of the river and overlooks the CBD. Originally built in 1906 the home exudes the warm character and charm of the era whilst offering all the facilities of modern living under its original 10 foot ceilings. Carefully maintained and restored to its former glory, the home has been extended to carefully incorporate a large family room and upstairs multipurpose loft room with large bay windows. The loft absorbs the warm northern sunlight and offers a high vantage point to take in the fabulous views, both in keeping with the early federation décor. Set on a large 1,012m2 block with established grounds and gardens complete with more modern inclusions such as an inground swimming pool and detached single garage. Federation features also include the original double sided cast iron fireplace with original marble tiling, French doors opening to wide verandahs, stained glass windows
and original polished timber panelling plus a host of authentic features such as free standing lion claw bathtub, ornate cornices and ceiling roses which are works of art themselves.

PURCHASING STEPS 6 STEPS TO BUYING A HOUSE Purchasing residential real estate can be a very exciting process, however it can also be a confusing time for the prospective buyer. As you may already be aware, different agencies usually have different sets of rules and standards, so we would like to inform you of the general buying process. Property owners receive all types of interest - some genuine, some not. Some people submit offers to test the possibility of sale, but do not actually stay true with their offer. This can lead to frustration and concern for the owners as they try to assess who is actually a genuine buyer. The best way to present a strong offer on any property is to follow the steps below that allow you to understand what is required in preparation to put forward your strongest purchasing proposition to the agent. All offers must be presented to the owner in writing and all purchase details correct for filling in the contract for signing. STEP 1 - PROVIDE AGENT WITH YOUR FULL DETAILS SUCH AS • Full names of all parties that will appear on the contract • The actual purchase price you will be paying for the property. • The method by which you choose to pay the 10% deposit. eg. cheque/bond/other. • The settlement period that you require or the vendor has stipulated. • The name of your chosen Solicitor or Conveyancer. • The name of your bank or financial lending institution. • Any special conditions or requests that you may have so that we can inform the vendor (property owner) STEP 2 - CONFIRM YOUR TIME FRAME AVAILABLE TO DO ANY INVESTIGATIONS Find out if the property has a deadline on it, such as auction or other offers from interested parties. STEP 3 - DECIDE IF YOU ARE GOING TO OBTAIN A PEST & BUILDING INSPECTION Before you purchase any property - in particular a new home - it is important that you commission a copy of a Pest and Building Report from qualified inspectors. Please note that
this report is a complete list of defects of the home, and is very different from the feature brochure that you receive from our agency. Many people can be shocked with the report they receive on the home, and most times misinterpret the report, e.g. the home is 34 years old and is in need of new roof tiles. Roof tiles last approximately 35 years and need replacing on every home of that age. The point to remember here is that all homes at one time or another require maintenance, and that this is known as a capital improvement. The main aim should be to ascertain that the property is structurally sound and free from pests such as termites. STEP 4 - NOTIFY YOUR BANK OF YOUR PURCHASE ADDRESS & DETAILS A pre-approval of finance from your bank or lending institution needs to be in place before safely proceeding with your property purchase, however many banks will approve you in principle yet may require a valuation. Don’t be alarmed if your bank or lending institution request a valuation by a registered property valuer. This is normal practice of lending institutions, and serves as confirmation of the agreed sale price. If you are intending to buy at auction, all the above-mentioned must be in place. Auction day is final. If you turn up to bid and you are the highest bidder past the reserve price (on-the-market price) you are the instant owner awaiting settlement of the property. STEP 5 - DON’T FORGET TO INCLUDE STAMP DUTY FUNDS IN YOUR FINAL CALCULATIONS A stamp duty chart is available from our office or our website STEP 6 - MEET WITH THE AGENT AND PROVIDE ALL DETAILS FOR SIGN OFF WITH THE OWNER Once agreement on price, settlement, conditions, etc has been reached with the vendor the sale can proceed. An exchange of contracts is the only way to actually buy or sell real estate. This is achieved by signing the contract of sale which is then processed by the agent with all legal parties. Your agent can explain the two options for exchanging contracts (Securing the sale) IN SUMMARY Preparation is the key. Understand the steps of sale and having everything in place is imperative to reaching your property goals. Whether you are considering purchasing this property or another in the near future and in need of advice, please feel free to contact Jason, Rex or any of our team with questions that you may have. We are available to assist you 7 days.
