NEWS

Subi team press their ad-Vantage Century 21 Vantage named Top Auction Office for 2010 HAVING opened in Subiaco just five months ago, the Century 21 Vantage team are already proving their worth. The Roberts Road office was named Century 21 Top Auction Office for 2010 in WA. Century 21 Vantage principals Daniel-Paul Filippi and Adam Noall were also both recently awarded the Century 21 national Master Sales Person for 2010, despite it being their first full year of trading. Mr Filippi, a principal and licensee, was formerly a sales manager at a leading inner-city real estate company and has vast experience in apartment and off-the-plan/development sales. Principal Adam Noall has a background in senior corporate management and business-to-business sales. Throughout the year, the Vantage team have won several other accolades including being ranked Number 17 in the National Top 21 Century 21 Office awards. Century 21 Vantage will open a new East Perth display office next month. ■

Executives on the rise Exclusive rental costs jump 10 per cent in three months within a few days thereafter, such as a recent property we leased in Grant Street, Cottesloe, for $2000 per week under a two year contract. “This shortage in the number of executive rental properties has seen an increase in weekly rents on average during the last three months of 10 per cent.” Mr Heath said the demand for rental properties was so strong that a number of property owners in the western suburbs who had previously tried to sell their home were choosing to lease their property to take advantage of high weekly rents. “Anyone who has their property for sale in the western suburbs and has difficulty finding a buyer should consider the option of leasing their property until the selling market recovers,’’ he said. "Caporn Young expects the executive rental market to remain very strong over the coming years," he said. ■

EXECUTIVE rental properties in the western suburbs have recorded a jump in weekly rents. According to Caporn Young Estate agents, the area experienced a 10 per cent increase in weekly rents during the last three months. Caporn Young's business development manager James Heath said the company currently had a rental vacancy rate of just over 0.4 per cent, or just two properties available for lease. “Caporn Young, which manages a property portfolio valued in excess of $500 million, has recorded a remarkable turnaround in the fortunes of the executive leasing sector of the last year,’’ he said. “The renewed investment in the resources sector is driving up demand for executive rentals, especially those priced above $1000 per week. “Many of our executive rental properties are being leased on the first viewing or

Modernist marvel a ‘whole lot of house’ This spectacular waterfront home will impress on all fronts, writes JANE EVANS WHEN selling agent Peter Burns said there was a whole lot of house to see, he was not exaggerating. Nestled into the sloping river bank in Mosman Park, this waterfront property spans 866sq m. The modernist home, opposite the jetties, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and several indoor and outdoor living areas. Partially concealed by flourishing mature trees, the sleek white facade is extremely alluring. Timber doors conceal an undercroft triple garage. Inside, the contemporary interior is extremely light-filled, open and spacious. The kitchen, appointed with stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances, is central

and faces the water, overlooking the lounge and dining areas. To the right, another living area has access to a lawn area and pizza oven at the front of the property, as well as an ambient outdoor kitchen loggia and alfresco dining area on the riverside. It features glass sliding doors on both sides, allowing the areas to be connected and the home to become an entertainers’ dream. A fabulous aqua-coloured lap pool and spacious terrace runs along the southern border of the home, with panoramic views and direct access to the water’s edge. On the second level of the home, a gallery walkway connects the three minor bedrooms, which are north-facing, to the ultimate master suite and retreat.

A study and sitting area enjoy breathtaking views before the wall curves around to reveal the master bedroom, ensuite and dressing room. The ensuite is simple but stylish with a large bath, separate shower, and single vanity against a grey stone wall. With stunning views from most rooms, and a timeless yet modern feel, this home is not short on the ‘wow’ factor. ■

With city and river views, this tri-level home will truly amaze, writes JANE EVANS FINISHED just over 18 months ago, this immaculate, tri-level Zorzi home has amazing river and city views, offering the best in location and luxury. The home was designed with total comfort in mind and features all the modern conveniences one could expect of a home of this standard. A lift connects the three levels. The basement level comprises a 50sq m games room and cellar, built into the natural limestone outcropping. Also on this level, a double garage with two large storage areas has direct access into a lobby area with an adjacent powder room. Inside the wrought iron gates, there is secure parking for up to four more vehicles. The kitchen, dining and living areas occupy the first floor and enjoy stunning views.

Entry to the home is through a stylish foyer with a soaring void to the second level. To the right of the entry, a customdesigned kitchen equipped with Miele appliances overlooks a lounge and dining area with stunning built-in tasmanian oak cabinetry and sliding door access to a spacious alfresco balcony featuring a barbecue and granite benchtops. A guest bedroom with an ensuite is at the rear of the home and opens out to a second alfresco area and terraced garden shaded by mature plants. The decadent master bedroom is on the top floor and features a lavish ensuite with a glass window around the bath, and an elegant retreat with an ornate gas fireplace to retire to after a long day. A second balcony off the master suite has even more dazzling views of the river. ■

REVIEWS

Laid out for full-sized living All have their own space, writes JANE EVANS SURROUNDED by lush tropical gardens and in an elevated position, this family home has a fantastic floor plan and could easily be modernized, or lived in as is. The late 1970s home has been renovated in stages and now features a rendered Mediterranean-type exterior and a brand new kitchen featuring Miele appliances, granite bench tops and a bright-red glass splashback. A spacious north-facing swimming pool was also installed adjacent to a front alfresco area. Over two levels, the home is unique in that it

has outdoor areas on each level, both at the front and rear – perfect for a family with teenagers who can entertain in their own space. The ground floor is a fully self-contained apartment with a huge lounge and dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms – all of which lends itself to a guest wing or teenagers’ retreat. There is also a hobby or storage room with its own access. The second level features the main living

areas, including a home theatre or formal lounge with a bar. “We’ll miss the openness,” said one owner. “We have family functions here regularly, where we have 50 people for a sit down dinner.” Also on this level is the master bedroom, and three minor bedrooms. Just a seven-minute walk to the beach via pathways through the natural reserve, the property is also close to shops, Wembley golf course, public and private schools, and is less than 12km from the CBD. ■

Demand tipped to push rents higher

Industry experts tip a 10 per cent increase in what landlords can charge their tenants, reports CARMELLE WILKINSON WEEKLY rents in Perth have been tipped to rise by 10 per cent this year. According to O’Rourke Realty Investments principal Rory O’Rourke, 2011 will be the year for property investors as median weekly rents start to rise. Mr O'Rourke said the latest REIWA figures for the three months ending November 2010 showed that the rental vacancy rate in Perth had fallen to just 3.1 per cent . “Vacancy rates in Perth have been gradually trending downwards over the past twelve months from a high of 4.6 per cent a year ago,’’ he said. “We are now rapidly approaching the historic tipping point of a 3 per cent vacancy rate below which landlords can begin to raise rents due to the scarcity of rental properties. “Over the past two years, the median weekly rent in Perth has been relatively steady at around $370 as landlords have had

to set competitive rents to attract tenants.” Mr O’Rourke said that if the demand for rental properties continued it was likely the median weekly rent could rise to just over $400. “A key issue impacting in the rental market is the fact that since the global financial crisis, developers have found it difficult to secure finance which has meant that the supply to new rental properties have been limited,’’ he said. “In contrast, over the past six months, the demand for rental properties has risen sharply due to the surge in investment related to the resources sector. This is resulting in an influx of skilled workers to Perth who are seeking accommodation. “Rising weekly rents will give a major boost to the property investment market in Perth because it will boost rental and encourage more people to purchase properties.” ■
