Utmost care needed in selecting good tenants Higher vacancy rates can tempt anxious landlords to rush into a poor decision HIGHER than normal vacancy rates, increase the chances that private landlords will select a bad tenant. According to CEO of The Limnios Property Group, James Limnios, the latest REIWA figures showed that the rental vacancy rate in Perth jumped by 1.3% to 4.8% during the September 2009 quarter. This was the highest rental vacancy rate recorded in Perth since December 1995. “Higher vacancy rates increases the temptation for some landlords to become more lax about selecting a tenant,’’ he said. “This is particularly the case with private landlords who do not have the
necessary experience or facilities to undertake thorough background checks on tenants. “There are currently around 100,000 private landlords in WA and this figure is rising due to renewed confidence in the property market over recent months. “Unfortunately, many first time investors who manage their investment property begin to panic when vacancy rates rise and focus on making sure the property is leased as quickly as possible – rather than taking their time to select the best possible tenant.” Mr Limnios said it was better to wait one or two weeks longer to find a good tenant rather than to rush the process
and chose someone who doesn’t pay the rent on time or even damages the property. “Unfortunately, there is a segment of Perth rental market which contains people seeking to rent homes who have a history of 'squatting' in properties until the landlord is forced to take court action to evict them – which can only be a lengthy, stress-filled process.’’ Mr Limnios said this issue of tenant selection and professional property management would become even more important during the coming months as more first time property investors enter the local real estate market because of an expected increase in property values. ■
Help with many building pitfalls NEW Home Building Brokers is a new concept in the building industry designed to take the stress out of home building, renovating and rebuilding. Managing director and founder Tristan Kirkham said the service is particularly relevant to the sort after Western Suburbs and inner city areas. “These areas throw up a range of challenges for people looking to build,” he said. “They are very established and therefore vacant lots are not as common. “Those that are available can be difficult in terms of size and shape or are the result of a knock down and subdivision which can throw up a few challenges in terms of services and driveway access. “We also have a fair bit of experience in dealing with the shires in these areas and have a good understanding of their approval processes.” Mr Kirkham said because these areas were older, many people chose to renovate, and renovating is one of the biggest traps in building. “We often deal with people who have got their initial quote and are just feeling lost because they don’t have the understanding to know whether it is fair or not,” he said. “And people looking to knock down and start again are not uncommon in those areas, and we can bring a real clarity to the process.” Working on the same philosophy as a mortgage broker, Mr Kirkham said NHBB gave clients access to product knowledge that could result in big monetary savings. “Rather than dealing with sales agents from a number of different builders, we act on a client’s behalf and basically do all the research for them so they can make the best decisions,” he said. “Much like a mortgage broker, we help our clients find the home and builder that suits their needs. “Whether it’s a new home, a rebuild or a renovation, building can be an overwhelming experience and during my time in the industry I have seen people get burned time and time again.” “We deal directly with the builder on your behalf and deliver your options in an easy to understand way so you can choose the right builder for you, and get the right price.” For more information visit http://www. nhbb.com.au or call 1300 383 262

REVIEWS Sophisticated island ambience 4
Luxurious yet relaxed, this property is like a Balinese resort, says JANE EVANS THE owner’s affection for Bali is distinctly evident in this exclusive architecturally designed Peppermint Grove home. Set well back from the road at the end of a long driveway, the single-storey residence has an ambience not unlike a private villa at Seminyak. Landscaped grounds surround the home, with the emphasis on a stunning swimming pool and cabana. “We love Bali,” one of the owners said. “We didn’t want to replicate a Balinese house but wanted something that just had a contemporary, relaxed, resort-like feel,” she said. “Easy to live in and close to everything.” The home is the award-winning creation of architect Richard Szklarz, who redesigned the original home in 2000. A koi fishpond and deck off the master suite creates an arresting entrance to the home. The master bedroom also features a spacious ensuite and extensive walk-inrobe behind the bed.

PEPPERMINT GROVE 26 VIEW STREET $6,500,000 FEATURES Swimming pool, cabana, 1600bottle airconditioned wine cellar, gallery kitchen, koi fish pond, landscaped gardens. AGENT Mack Hall and Associates CONTACT Adam Lenegan 0417744600 WEB www.mackhall.com.au DETAILS http://tinyurl.com/ylj44o3 The other bedrooms are in a separate wing of the home with two featuring wallpaper and carpet. The spacious third bedroom, designed for the owners’ son, has floorboards and clever separation of studying and sleeping areas. The central living areas are large, open and stylish. Floor to ceiling glass allows the areas to capture northern sunlight and take full advantage of the pool outlook from the galley kitchen.
The cabana or pool house to the right of the home features a kitchenette and powder room, making it a fantastic retreat for the owners’ three teenage children. Across the pool, an inviting formal lounge and dining area is beautifully appointed with a 1600-bottle airconditioned wine cellar. Szklarz has designed a home for today’s modern family and lifestyle. 26 View Street is sophistication at its finest. ■

Park Lane stunner comes to Fremantle 24 luxury apartments offer the finest in modern comforts and security, writes JANE EVANS TUCKED away in the heart of Fremantle’s West End next to the historic facade of the Moores Building, the new Park Lane apartments are a surprise. Almost complete, the three-level complex has 24 luxury apartments offering the finest in modern comforts. Park Lane features one, two and three bedroom apartments as well as penthouse suites offering stunning ocean views from their enormous terrace balconies. Each apartment comes with secure parking underneath the building, which can be accessed from both Pakenham and Henry streets. The ground floor foyers off both streets are fitted with sophisticated European tiled floors and decor. Upstairs, there are a choice of two colour schemes in the apartments. Each features quality carpets to the bedrooms, glass, tiles and stone in the kitchen, china basins in the bathrooms, European appliances, electrical wiring, air conditioning and painted flush panel
doors throughout. Security is premium with remote controlled security gates to the exterior of the complex and access via intercom or key entry. Conceived by a syndicate of several builders, the Park Lane development captures the essence of Fremantle’s cosmopolitan lifestyle, celebrating a blend of the old and the new. Unique in its location and design, nothing similar has been offered before right in the centre of the port city. In the Notre Dame University precinct – the cafe strip, Esplanade, markets and fishing boat harbour are all on Park Lane’s doorstep.

Life in lavish lane This sprawling mansion reminiscent of a Middle Eastern palace takes your breath away, reports JANE EVANS THERE is nothing austere about this Dalkeith mansion. Ormos Property Development was commissioned by the owners to build the lavish three-storey home in 2007. On a 1052sqm block, the home has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two theatre rooms and an abundance of open living space. Reminiscent of a Middle Eastern palace, granite, wood and stainless steel have been used extensively throughout in the superb construction. Black wrought iron gates at the entry open into a circular driveway with a cedar-lined portico. A striking Gilt crystal chandelier adorns the ceiling of the vast entrance above a sweeping staircase. Each bedroom is of generous proportion and has its own ensuite and private walk-in robe. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor with four on the second floor. The kitchen is adjacent to the lounge and dining and has stainless steel appliances, display cabinetry and a breakfast bench. French doors separate a study from a theatre room. There is also a kitchenette and additional activity

STREET LIFE street life
Old fashioned maybe – but oozing charm The whole street, business owners and shoppers, seem to know one another on a first name basis, discovers JANE EVANS
WHILE brand new multi-storey shopping complexes are popping up all over Claremont, just around the corner lies a street that does business the old-fashioned way. There is an undeniable vintage charm about Claremont Crescent in Swanbourne. Perhaps it is that many of the shop fronts have their original signage in bright traditional fonts, or the fact that the whole street seems to know each other on a first name basis. Opposite the Swanbourne railway station, the Swanbourne village strip is made up of several small businesses, including a newsagency, barbers, food store, book cafe, butcher, hardware and home-wares store,
141
post office, bottle shop, nail bar, and several fast food outlets and offices. Beaumont apartments, a 52-unit retirement complex, also adjoins the village and Scotch College is at the opposite end of the street. Marilyn and Peter Wilson have owned Swanbourne Hardware store for almost 30 years. Having previously stocked a small range of kitchenware, five months ago Marilyn decided to branch out and open Swanbourne Homewares upstairs, in the space that was once the Wilsons’ family home. “We lived up here with our two daughters when we first bought the store,” she said. “The register is where our lounge room was.” Having been permanent fixtures of the village for so long, Marilyn said the couple’s clientele were mainly local. “Such a special lot of people come through

our doors,” she said. “Sadly, as life gets on, you lose a few along the way.” Down the street at Number 137, Rose Caffey has owned the Bookcaffe for three years after the previous owner had had it for 13. Rose said while most of her customers were local, there was a growing number of visitors from outside the western suburbs. “Bookcaffe works so well because it is so well supported by its regulars and in return the Bookcaffe continues to offer its clients the best selection of current titles and home baked goodies with fabulous coffee – it’s a perfect pair,” she said. Altus Real Estate director David Fear said
Claremont Crescent was a diverse street with an eclectic feel. “There are plenty of old heritage houses on the inventory,” he said. “But there is little evidence to indicate what a house would typically sell for now. “It just depends on where on the street you are.” David said that in 2008, a house sold for $2.3 million, while another property, a business with a flat out the back, had been sold for $1.3 million. Despite the shifting house prices, one thing remains the same on Claremont Crescent – the lovely, unaffected nature of the village and its people. ■
