TACKING POINT Lighthouse Beach was historically and geographically known as Tacking Point being originally named in 1802 by Matthew Flinders as he sailed and tacked towards the headland a few miles south of the mouth of the Hastings River. The lighthouse on the Tacking Point headland was built in 1879 and is Australia’s third oldest but it wasn’t until the late 1960s that the area attracted the eye of the developers and the first residential blocks were sold. At the time, the locals considered Tacking Point/Lighthouse Beach “way too far out of town” for anyone in their right mind! Developed by John Dulhunty’s company, Vendul International the area was originally promoted as “The RivIera” but the name never really stuck. The land was mainly sold to Sydneysiders and workers from the Snowy Scheme who were flown up from Sydney and Cooma on weekends in DC3s or flying boats often organised by local travel agent and real estate agent Todd Roods. In those days nearly all the blocks at Lighthouse had a view and could be bought for only a few thousand dollars. Lighthouse Beach offers the quintessential Aussie beachside lifestyle and is now one of Port’s most popular residential areas. It offers a huge variety of affordable homes through to some of the town’s most prestigious residences with excellent beach and ocean views.

WHY ARE THEY MOVING?
NEIGHBOURS
This large family home is located in the tightly held precinct of Dent Crescent which is renowned as having the best coastal and beach views in Lighthouse.
The current owners are sad to leave as they truly love the home and location but have decided to down size to allow them to travel Australia and beyond!
Built by well known builder Jack Sewell the home bears all the trademarks of the rock solid homes built the way they used to build them. Built on a concrete slab with full brick construction downstairs, the top storey of the home also consists of a suspended concrete slab and brick veneer construction providing a solid base for future extensions and ideal framework for the new owner to create their own look.
WHAT THEY LOVE ABOUT THE PROPERTY (FROM THE OWNER)
Dent Crescent is a friendly street with welcoming neighbours. Whether its Christmas drinks or just an invite for a cuppa, the neighbours are approachable, friendly and relaxed.
With a mix of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas on each level, the home is really two homes in one making it ideal for an extended family or to provide separate living for visitors, granny or just some where to banish the noisy teenagers. Recent refurbishments include new carpeting and paintwork upstairs providing a comfortable environment to plan for future renovations. There is potential side access to create parking for boat or van or extra vehicle.
• In Sydney we could only dream about a view like this. We have always wanted ocean views but could not afford the millions of dollars we would have to pay in Sydney. The vast expanse of water is sheer magic – a real heart opening experience. We feel very privileged to be able to experience the panoramic view every morning. • The proximity to the ocean also means that we can hear the sound of waves breaking throughout the night. These sounds, being ones that our brains are clearly wired to owing to millions of years of evolution, calm and soothe and relax us and lull us to sleep each night. • We also love the feeling in the house. It is bright, spacious and comfortable. It has a homely feel. I find it very easy to relax in our home and will be sorry to part with it, very sorry!

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.
