My Property Review has revolutionised the way buyers and sellers can meet on the Sunshine Coast. The quality and distribution of this publication is second to none. Victor Realty and MPR were born within a month of each other and I can say without any hesitation, that the results we have achieved for scores of ecstatic clients can be attributed in a very large part to the ongoing promotion of their properties in MPR. The numbers don’t lie – for every ten groups who attend one of our open for inspections, six have seen the property in MPR! Over $25million worth of property sold in our first year – thanks MPR, keep up the great work and happy 1st birthday from the team at Victor Realty.

Coast profile

Signpost In this first birthday issue, My Property Review presents a comprehensive wrap-up and analysis of the local property market over the past 12 months with the help of market research analysts RP Data.

e spoke to national property market commentator and rpdata.com research analyst Cameron Kusher, and Professor of Property and Development at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Michael Hefferan, about the results and what they mean for the property scene in our region today and into the future. Taking a look at the 10-year property graph, Michael dismisses any reference to the seven-to-10-year property cycle, which is so commonly referred to in the industry and wider community. He says the statistics presented here speak for themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously there was a large volume of sales in 02/03 or 06/07 with upswings in prices coinciding, or lagging a little from those dates. But the generally buoyant market from 2002 through to 2006/07 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything particularly to do with cycles, it was based on demand created by relatively low interest rates, rising household incomes, high levels of confidence, internal migration, government support for home buyers and, at the same time a limited supply of new stock.â&#x20AC;? He says the economic turmoil over the past 12 months

for the Coast is a typical example of why the property cycle isn’t a foolproof model. “We really have to be careful about the term ‘cycle’ when it comes to property - as if it is almost mechanical or like the face of a clock. This is simply not the case and any prediction of any economic events or sectors more than a year or two out are highly problematic, particularly in the contemporary environment. The past 12 months provides at an extraordinary example of just that.” In reference to the same graph, Cameron acknowledges the recent dip in median prices but attributes it to a hype of activity in the entry-level market spurred on by Government incentives. “While the latest March ’09 quarter data shows a fall in Sunshine Coast property prices, the primary reason for this is that the bulk of sales activity is occurring at price points below $500,000 - the Sunshine Coast median house value sits above this price point.” Both analysts agree that Sunshine Coast property market is more resilient than markets in other regions. “The burgeoning population on the Sunshine Coast means that people still have confidence in the area where they can find plenty of property bargains, coupled with the lifestyle opportunities to commute,” says Cameron. Michael adds, “The residential market, in places like the Sunshine Coast, remains fairly sound despite some predictions to the contrary.” He says that internal migration, low interest rates and government incentives are driving demand for homes. “Further, the supply of new stock and of subdivided land remains limited.” The outlook seems positive, though for the rest of 2009, Cameron is expecting a lacklustre performance for

properties at the top end “even though it’s a great buying time for those who can afford it”. In contrast, at the bottom end where properties are priced under $500,000, he believes, “we are likely to see a continuation of sales, especially with the first-home buyers grant incentive now extended to October”. Cameron adds that at some stage during this year, investors are likely to show a return to the market, attracted to the strong rental yields, tight vacancy rates and low interest rates. “My outlook for the Sunshine Coast is that we are likely to see softer market conditions for the remainder of 2009. For buyers across all categories, it’s worth remembering that with a softer market and lower interest rates, astute buyers can purchase competitively priced property and position themselves for future price growth.” He adds that the undersupply of housing will place upward pressure on property prices in the medium to long term. Michael is expecting the market will feel the impact of the withdrawal of the First Home Owner Boost but says it will not have a long-term impact as it doesn’t apply to all purchases. “Much more important over time will be likely upward movements in inflation and interest rates .” What we can expect, it seems, is the unexpected. “The Australian economy is inherently volatile,” Michael says, “based as it is on a narrow trading base of commodities and is a small open economy. What we see in the volume and value of house sales is the outcome of that volatility and Australian economic history shows that it certainly doesn’t follow a regular or strictly cyclic path.”

exclusive interview

Harry’s hot to trot by Jade Harrison

Retired property developer Harry Reed is getting back in the saddle by selling his waterfront penthouse and upgrading to a sprawling rural retreat to train racehorses.

arry Reed is a content man. Now in his sixties, the life of this local property developer-cumphilanthropist has gone full circle. From humble beginnings as a bricklayer living on acreage in Grafton, to running a highly successful and very prominent property development company here on the Coast, this local identity is now returning to his country roots. He is moving back onto acreage after two decades of success with Reed Property Group (RPG), which he established 20 years ago with his son Ken. Harry’s recent retirement from the Reed empire, which includes his renowned charity foundation, has created a change in tack, with Harry trading board meetings and escaping the suburban rat race for a very different racing scene. Widely known for his generous charitable endeavours as much as his business prowess, Harry and his wife Margaret have just placed their palatial, two-level penthouse in Platinum on Duporth on the market, and are planning a full-time move from the Maroochydore CBD for life in the country. It’s been just two-and-a-half years since Harry officially retired, but you won’t find this hardworking and highly successful man lolling around in a mansion, playing chess and smoking cigars. In fact,

downgrading was never part of the retirement plan for Harry and his wife Margaret – quite the contrary. It’s Harry’s penchant for racehorses that has lead the couple back to the acreage lifestyle they once enjoyed in Landsborough, before the success of the Reed empire lured them into Maroochydore several years ago. “We’ve had enough of living in the CBD and the more we thought about it the more we agreed it was time we just moved on,” says Harry. “It was time for me to retire and after 12 months of twiddling my thumbs Margaret said to me, ‘You love the horses. Do you want to look at some land again?’ And that was all I needed. After six months or so of looking at places to buy we came up with this place here.” The couple still live in their fabulous penthouse in Maroochydore, but since they bought the acreage in September 2007, Harry has been spending most days there working with the horses and overseeing the construction of new fences, stables and his new home. “It was fairly old and rundown, so I said alright, we’ll buy this place, but I want to knock down every single thing on it,” he says. And Harry couldn’t be happier. ‘Serenity’ in the Glass House Mountains is Harry’s new address. Thirty-five

Margaret and Harry Reed acres that is now home to 20 racehorses, 22 stables, an office for the racing pursuits, a dam, a manager’s residence, and a construction site, which will soon be Harry and Margaret’s new luxurious abode. With two children, seven grandchildren and a passion for family, once completed, the new house will consist of five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two fireplaces and an acre of gardens. Still, Harry moved the horses in 12 months ago. “About three months ago I decided I wasn’t going to just breed horses here, I was going to train them as well. I used to train horses when I lived at Landsborough and I did that for about 10 years,” Harry says. “I decided then that I was going to train racehorses again, here at this property.” And he’s already off and racing. With more than 100 previous wins under his belt, Harry already has 20 horses at the property, with another 12 scheduled

The stables at ‘Seren

House Mountains property

just handed in her resignation to move interstate at about the same time Harry retired, and for the foundation to continue, he really needed to be directly involved in the business. “We had a board meeting in May and I said to the board that it was a good time to tell the ATO and to let relevant bodies know that we’re not going to be handling public money anymore. We’re closing it down.” The Board tried to persuade Harry to leave the foundation open in case he wanted to resume operations down the track, but due to the audits and costs involved with keeping it running, he decided it was just best to close it. “Sometimes people would just come along and write us a cheque because we were doing something

“

Margaret said she didn’t want two homes because she was worried we’d be living for a few days at each. We’d be in two different places, and we’ve been married for about 45 years so we didn’t want to do that

“

to come home with the six brood mares due in October. His vision is to have about 20 racing horses, 10 in the paddocks to graze and 10 in the stables to race. He’s got five staff members that help around the property and the 4am start time means it’s quite a demanding pastime. Still, Serenity is a far cry from the couple’s Platinum penthouse and the faster pace of the Maroochydore town centre. Perched 37 metres in the air and taking in some of the best ocean and riverfront views on the Coast, the stunning 1000-square metre penthouse was undisputedly the jewel in the crown for a string of Reed developments that occupy Duporth Avenue, including Platinum on Duporth, M1, Aurora and Riva. Reserved for the chairman himself, the penthouse is expected to sell for a record price. Harry says, “When we were building Aurora we’d bought the land next door for Platinum, so we designed that building and we basically designed the penthouse apartment for ourselves while we were living there [in Aurora]. We designed it purely for us to live in and enjoy.” While Harry’s quick to acknowledge he has an “attachment” to the Platinum penthouse, he did consider keeping both it and the land so they could enjoy the opposing lifestyles. “Margaret said she didn’t want two homes because she was worried we’d be living for a few days at each, where she’d be in town for a few days a week and I’d be out here with the horses. We’d be in two different places, and we’ve been married for about 45 years so we didn’t want to do that. Up until recently, one of Margaret’s main reasons for living in Maroochydore was because her mum was in Immanuel Gardens nursing home, but her recent passing solidified our decision to sell the apartment. The move is just another stage in our lives.” While Harry’s retirement signalled the end of his involvement with RPG, it also marked the end of the Reed Charity Foundation (RCF). This, not-for-profit organisation, which Harry set up in 2002, was responsible for raising more than $7 million dollars for local charities in just seven years. Its recent closure grabbed headlines, with some newspapers hinting that the economic crisis had effected the operations of the foundation, and it was even incorrectly stated and sensationalised that the foundation was forced into closure. Harry’s decision to close the foundation was a conscious one and his motives were quite simple. Due to its large-scale charity events and fundraising endeavours, the foundation had become a full-time business with running costs including salaries and a string of overheads. The foundation’s manager had

worthwhile for the community and I didn’t want those people to come along thinking the charity foundation was still open and that we were supporting people when in fact we were inactive.” In its years of operation, the foundation was responsible for a number of large-scale charity projects. In 2002 and 2003 the RCF raised $50,000 to aid the Sunshine Coast Children’s Therapy Centre at Nambour, a volunteer-led organisation that provides essential support for many moderately to severely disabled children and their families. In 2003/2004 the RCF built the Sunshine Coast Hear & Say Centre to provide therapy and education services for deaf and hearingimpaired children and their families. In 2005 it built a hydrotherapy pool for the Currimundi Special School and in 2006 an orphanage in the coastal village of Machilipatnam in India, which

Harry and one of his future champions was devastated by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. And in 2007 it built an accommodation facility for patients and their families requiring ongoing medical treatment at Nambour Hospital. In 2008, financial assistance was provided to Family Challenge, a Sunshine Coast-based, not-for-profit organisation that promotes mental health in our community. Harry and Margaret continue to donate generously to a number of these and other local charities, and Harry is the first to praise the local community for its overwhelming ability to give generously. “The Sunshine Coast is a very generous place. There are a lot of people who give large sums of money to charities here on the Coast. They are very generous people.” So, what are the plans for Harry in the next couple of months? “I’m realistic and we will sell Platinum. I won’t give it away, but we’ll get the right buyer for it and I’m sure we’ll be happy with the price we get for it. And then we’ll do what we want to do out here and then get some more of these horses. It’s better than office life and doing what I was doing. I just love horses too much.”

Gaze

Around the World

These imposing buildings really do scrape the sky. hen MPR last checked in almost a year ago, the Burj Dubai (pictured top left), still under construction, was already the world’s tallest building, and since then has grown to a staggering 800 metres high. But the Burj Dubai isn’t the only impressive engineering feat underway in Dubai. Construction has begun on the $21.5 billion Dubai Towers at ‘The Lagoons’ (pictured top right). Although they don’t rival the Burj Dubai when it comes to height, these towers are designed to resemble candelight and will sit on more than 40 kilometres of waterfront. If already having the tallest man-made structure in the world wasn’t enough, plans were released late last year for the Dubai City Tower or Vertical City, which, if constructed, would stand at a whopping

2.4 kilometres tall. The problem of transporting people around the 400-floor skyscraper will be solved by a vertical bullet train travelling at more than 200 kilometres per hour. No developer or architect has attached themselves to the plans yet, so watch this space on whether or not this one gets off the ground. Also on the drawing board is the ep-07 tower (bottom right), a sinuous design slated for the Arab capital. Not wanting to be outdone by Dubai, Russia also has some tall buildings in the works. The 600-metre Russia Towers (pictured top centre) is being constructed in Moscow. The Russians are also offering Crystal Island (pictured bottom left), and while it’s still only in the planning stages, the tent-like structure is set to include 3000 hotel rooms and 900 apartments.

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industry Newcomers

Award winners

Stuart Pearson has recently joined the busy team at Pam Court Realty in Sippy Downs. Stuart brings with him more than seven years of real estate sales experience both here and in England.

Elders Queensland and Northern NSW held its 2008-2009 awards night last week. Elders Palmwoods graced the stage numerous times and the team was rewarded for their hard efforts throughout the year, by picking up a string of awards:

Ian Strachan is now partt of the sales team at Maleny and Hinterland Real Estate. Ian brings with him exceptional local knowledge, having lived and operated his own business in Montville for more than 14 years.

Mike Burns • Elders elite award • Fourth place for settled sales • Second place for generated commission • Elders home loans top referrer for the year

RE/MAX grows The team would also like to welcome Brad Milton (pictured below bottom left) to the office. Before venturing into real estate, Brad served in the Australian Army for eight years as the personal assistant to the land commander of Australia. He was awarded the soldiers medallion for exemplary service, and is committed to providing excellent service within the Elders group.

Candice Plant • Excellence in customer relations award • Property manager of the year finalist

Sally Carrick • Receptionist of the year finalist

RE/MAX director Tony Nash and business partners have strengthened the RE/MAX brand by purchasing Coolum real estate agency Noble and Buth. Tony says, “Steve and Lyndal Buth ran a great business. And we intend to build on that using the many resources available to us through the RE/MAX group.” Property manager Amy Ward agrees that it is business as usual for her staff and clients. The purchase is the latest step forward for RE/MAX’s strong presence on the Sunshine Coast property market. The business will now be known as RE/MAX Property Associates 5 and the new licensee is Bruce Hawthorne, a property agent with 36 years’ experience. “I think this news is a positive step forward for everyone involved,” Bruce says. “There are some very experienced people with some exceptional knowledge behind the RE/MAX group.”

IT ALL STARTED

WITH A FRESH IDEA AND THE REST THEY SAY… A group of real estate agents and a team of local publishers joined forces to create My Property Review just over 52 weeks ago. One year on, and with your support, it has become a property staple and has revolutionised the way

real estate is bought and sold on the Sunshine Coast. The main goal was to deliver unprecedented beneﬁts to sellers by signiﬁcantly reducing advertising costs while at the same time almost doubling coverage and distribution.

My Property Review has far exceeded these goals. As a 100 per cent locally owned venture, My Property Review has set new standards in publishing and has been recognised as an industry leader in Australia and overseas. During the

58 My Property Review | August 14, 2009

year, the feedback has been overwhelming, as happy readers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including buyers, sellers and agents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; experience the effectiveness of My Property Review as a resultsdriven publication on the local real estate market.

The My Property Review team would like to thank the community for its tremendous unwavering support. We look forward to bringing you the largest, most comprehensive publication on property each and every week.

Property Today welcomes Trevor & Glenys Martin A dynamic team has just been strengthened with Trevor and Glenys Martin joining Property Today’s Jamie Holbrook and Serg Gubecka. Trevor and Glenys will still be looking after their beloved waterfront properties in Minyama, Buddina and Mooloolaba, as well as the coastal strip to Bokarina. Their success is a tribute to negotiating skills, straightforward open communication with clients, and an understanding of their client’s goals and needs. Trevor and Glenys provide quality care with dedication, and “can do” attitude.

property reviews Stunning Moffat Beach apartment Located in sought-after McIlwriath Street, this apartment is situated on Moffat Headland between the very private Shelly Beach and the family-friendly Moffat Beach. Offering two large bedrooms with built-in robes (the master has an ensuite), the apartment is ideal for the first-home buyer looking to purchase in a high-growth area or for the investor looking for returns and long-term gain. The living area looks out over leafy Watson Park with a view to Moreton Island across the Pacific Ocean and over the inground pool, which is the perfect place to wash off the salt on a summer’s day. Moffat Beach’s cafe strip is at the bottom of the hill and Caloundra’s CBD is only minutes away. Watch the surfers at the nearby break or the paragliders jumping off the headland before breakfast.

Breaking up

is hard to do With whispers that interest rates will rise in the near future, many homee owners are looking to lock in a fixed rate, renegotiate loan terms or even find a new lender. But breaking ng your mortgage terms – the sale of your home included – can be an expensive exercise. Read on and get informed before making any decisions.

Fees in threes

An honourable discharge

Talk isn’t cheap

There are three different kinds of fees associated with breaking the terms of your mortgage: early termination fees, which generally apply if you pay out your loan within five years; discharge and administration fees; and break costs for fixed-rate home loans, which are generally pretty hefty.

If you pay out your mortgage before the contracted date, you will be up for a range of fees and charges. Even if you manage to avoid the early termination and/or break costs, it’s likely you will have to at least pay administrative costs. These costs include a discharge fee (for discharging the loan an early), y administration costs (relevant to your ur particular home loan contract) and even legal costs, if applicable.

While the majority of break costs are set in stone (especially when associated with breaking a fixed-loan agreement), remember that it is a competitive market out there, so it won’t hurt to talk through your options and try to negotiate with your current lender. If you’re looking to sell your home and take out a new loan, your lender may be willing to waiver or reduce break costs to ensure they secure your future business. Alternatively, have a chat to other potential lenders – they may offer you such a sweetheart deal to change lenders, which may negate the break costs in the long run. Just be sure to do your homework on any other costs you may encounter down the track.

Breaking up

Get out early If you have a financial windfall or come into some cash and decide to use it to pay off your home and it is within five years of taking it out, you will generally be charged an early discharge fee. This fee can vary significantly from lender to lender, so be sure to check with your home loan provider before committing to paying out your mortgage early. Costs can range from a fixed fee to up to three months interest on the remaining balance. Generally, cheap loan deals and honeymoon rate arrangements carry hefty early discharge fees.

Unfortunately, if you have entered into a fixed-loan agreement, it’s likely that breaking the terms of this loan may be simply too costly – sometimes tens of thousands of dollars – to even consider. This is one of the big downsides of cheap fixed-loan agreement. Remember that break costs go up as interest rates come down, because break costs represent the difference between the total interest you agreed to pay for the fixed term of the loan and the current interest rate. Ultimately, the break costs represent the potential economic loss to your lender and they will want to recoup that loss.

Cr runch the numbers Crunch

Be prepared Discovering the downsides of your home loan once you are paying it off can be avoided if you make sure you are fully aware of the pros and cons of the loan before signing on. While it’s easy to be tempted by honeymoon deals and low fixed interest rates, make sure you ask your lender exactly how the loan works in various scenarios, such as paying it off early. This way you can choose the best product for you and are more likely to avoid potential hazards down the track.

Whether you’re selling your home or just looking to change your loan provider, crunch the numbers before committing to anything. Check your contract and make an appointment with your current home loan lender to talk through all your options. It’s also worth chatting to other mortgage providers about your situation, so you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. 26 My Property Review | August 14, 2009

he Sunshine Coast hinterland is weathering the economic storm, and its railway towns in particular are performing well in a slower market. Properties on the Blackall Range have been more tightly held, while Glenview and Palmview continue to grow as residential areas, attracting young families to homes that are close to major road and rail routes, and the beach. RP Data’s national research director Tim Lawless says areas such as Chevallum, Keils Mountain and Rosemount have recorded fewer sales, which indicates that these are highly sought-after areas where people want to live. “If these people don’t get the price they want, then they don’t want to sell,” Tim says. “It’s indicative of a tightly held market. “Lifestyle properties in the hinterland have experienced a downturn, particularly on large blocks, but these are now starting to show improvement in the $1 million-plus bracket. “They represent excellent buying into an exclusive market, particularly when these large blocks are close to towns and trains where commuting is an option on the transport corridor.” Tim says recent results show that there is movement in prestige properties and it is a great time to buy a large hinterland dream home. “The railways towns are always good buying and anything close to the highway and the railway stations are excellent for rental properties,” he says. “Beerwah is coming into its own.

I have a large outdoor entertaining area that I want to enclose. How can I do this on the cheap? And I want to replace the old 1970s tiles on the floor, so how should I do this? Kerry, Warana Jade: Kerry, y don’t even attempt p to jackhammer ckhammer up those tiles – it will

cost you time and money. If you have enough depth from the step onto your entertaining area, just tile straight over the top. For a space of that size, you can easily pick up new, yet discounted discontinued lines from tile shops. As for enclosing it, there are myriad choices. Bi-folds are ideal for our climate and popular choices are either glass or timber, but that won’t go g easy on the back pocket. pocke A more ordable, and very affordab 1980s option is to go for lattice work, or go ffor the chic of late, bamboo. screen o You can buy bamboo screens iin a range of different sizes and they usually come com in lengths one-and-a-half of one or on metres with varying heights. need to be nailed They do nee onto some ttype of fixed structure but are easy to mount and create a very calm calming, Balinesesstyle feel.

Dave: Hey there Kerry. I’m a little confused. Why, in this glorious climate, would you want to turn a large outdoor entertaining area into a large indoor entertaining area that’s outdoors? I don’t see the point, Kez. It’s like, why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets or why does a gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed or why do they use sterilised needles for death by lethal injection? It’s nonsensical. It’d be like playing barefoot bowls in jackboots – it kinda defeats the purpose. Hopefully I’ve put enough doubt in your mind now Kerry for you to rethink this ridiculous project. And my motto in these type of situations, Kez is ‘When in doubt, Go without’. So tomorrow night, don the white flared suit and hit those ’70s tiles for some al fresco Saturday Night Fever. Todd: Hey Kerry, sounds like you’ve got the same problem as Matt Shirvington. He also has a large outdoor entertaining area that should be enclosed. So just like Shirvo it’s time to put it away, and I suggest you can’t go wrong with a beer bottle glass wall. (Simply Google

‘beer bottle walls’ for different designs and styles.) Obviously I don’t know any dimensions, so I can’t give you an accurate estimate of the number of bottles needed, but I’d assume you’ll need three walls to form the enclosure, maybe one with Heineken for the tops green look and two with Corona to let in the natural light. With this in mind I’d get cracking with a carton or three a day over the next couple of weeks. (Just imagine you’re David Boon on a flight to England circa 1989 and she’ll be apples.) As for the ’70s tiles, Kez, I reckon you should hold onto them – they’ll look an absolute treat with the new walls, plus everything old and ’70s is funky again, like fondues, kaftans and John Farnham (he’s 70 isn’t he?)

cover story

Bath time by Jessica Ainscough

Turn your bathroom from a simple wash room into a relaxing retreat. nce a place where you would simply wash yourself, these days bathroom designers are creating spa-like sanctuaries in the home. As lifestyles continue to get busier, home owners are searching for solace, and finding it in their once-humble bathrooms. Trimmings such as steam rooms, aromatherapy devices and surround-sound stereo systems are creating private relaxation centres. The latest shapes, colours, materials and ergonomic considerations are important factors when creating or renovating a bathroom.

Tiles The rule of thumb when it comes to tiles is to go either really big or really small (with mosaics). Not only are large tiles cleaner, as there’s less grout to trap dirt, but they will also create a sense of openness and space in smaller rooms. The trend of the minute is to choose the largest format tiles available and using these all over the room, from the floor right up to the top of the walls. Using the same floor and wall product will give a soft, streamlines feel to the space. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, mosaic tiles are a great way to inject colour, texture and personality into your bathroom. Use tiny tiles to line a shower, dress up a splashback or cover a full wall. For a more dramatic approach, create a patterned feature wall with mosaics. Narelle Lockett from Tiles 2 Go in Warana says Asian-inspired hues like deep red, black, charcoal and white are popular. “We’ve been selling nothing but brown and beige for the past eight years and now we’re selling nothing but charcoal, brown and beige,” she says. “The big advantage with dark-coloured floors is dark grout, making it easy to clean.”

Colour Colours, prints and patterns popular in other rooms in the house are creeping into bathroom design. Patterned wallpaper, intricate mosaic tile patterns and sinks with

ÀiÊÌ > Ê

floral designs add style and personality to the bathroom. Tracy Wilkins from NCP Bathroom Centres says black is the new white when it comes to bathroom design. “A few years ago you would never even think of black being used in bathrooms, but now basins are available in black and many new bathrooms are using black or grey tiling,” she says. While colour is becoming an increasingly popular feature, it is a trend that should be treated with care in this room. If you’re worried that the use of colour will cause your space to date quickly, take the timeless approach and stick to a neutral palette. Colour and pattern can always be added using inexpensive accessories. Light-coloured walls and floors will also make your bathroom seem larger.

Vanities and basins Although vanities are a great place for storage, lovers of all things contemporary are seeking styles that appear to float as a single bench with clever cabinetry and drawers concealed below. Above-bench ceramic or stone bowls are still popular, but the contemporary choice is now the ultra-sleek wash pane. Popular shapes in vanities are geometric, but are softened with a round or egg-shaped basin and an interesting finish of colour. Look out for basins with floral patterns and textures.

Showers Gone are the days when the shower was simply a place to wash. Modern showers can be customised to be used as steam rooms and fitted with heads for massage, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, body spray, rain-head and multi-jet functions to create a luxurious shower experience. Individual his and hers shower heads, built-in seats and built-in wall niches offer stylish convenience, comfort and neat storage. The sleek and streamlined feel is continued with frame-less glass doors or no doors at all.

Baths Freestanding baths are the standout trend of the moment, popular because they’re available to suit all budgets and you can take them with you if you move. Maximise space in smaller bathrooms with deep soaker baths or a tub that looks like it’s freestanding but actually sits flush against one wall.

Toilets The humble loo has also had a design makeover. Tracy says toilet trends are becoming more streamlined. “Products like Caroma’s Invisi toilet suites are making a big difference in a design sense, as the cistern is concealed in the wall, giving the space a much cleaner, minimalist look,” she says. “We’re finding they really grab people’s attention and they’re proving very popular.”

Style and substance This Grandview Homes house is a popular design offering practicality and polish. he Augusta 1 is a family home with an appealing triple hip street elevation and straight clean roof lines achieved by the use of flat profile roof tiles. The display home has earthy tones and a contrasting finish to the attached piers and elevated entry. Inside, the master suite is separated from the other living and bedroom areas, offering privacy and space. Grandview’s internal detail is impressive with plenty of articulation in terms of columns, coffers, bulkheads, hampers and raked ceilings. The internal areas are bright and airy with lots of glass, which addresses the outdoors and water aspects, while promoting solar efficiency. The fittings and fixtures are both elegant and practical. For example, the island-style kitchen is centrally located with good storage and impressive appliances. This room looks through the meals area and over the patio outside. This large and popular home design offers outstanding value for money with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and numerous formal and informal indoor and outdoor living spaces.

e have all heard stories – or we may even have our own – of dream bathroom renovations that turn into nightmares. No one wants to experience the sort of grief that comes with leaking plumbing and dodgy tile work. MPR went to Tommas Leone from Essential Homes in Buderim to find out all you need to know before embarking on a bathroom renovation. Here is what he had to say: • Make sure you use a builder or bathroom renovator with a Building Services Authority (BSA) license. Many home owners, attracted by cheap quotes, use unlicensed trades people. Unfortunately in these cases there if anything goes wrong with

the renovation, there is nothing you can do about it. • Make sure that the contract is signed between you and the contractor and that everything you agree to is written down in it. • If you’re going to try to do the renovation yourself, check with the BSA for how much you’re actually allowed to do. There’s a certain limit to how much you can do without a licensed trades person involved. • Make sure you have the ability to carry out the DIY jobs yourself. There’s a lot involved and you don’t want it to look like a budget job. Avoid DIYing the plumbing, electrical work, rebuilding or complex tiling/installations.

Hi-tech on the tiles Who says televisions belong in the lounge room and refrigerators should stay in the kitchen? s technology advances, designers are coming up with new and innovative ways to make time spent in the bathroom as pleasant as possible with home theatre equipment, heaters and even fridges appearing in the smallest room in the house. Positioning a stereo or TV in your bathroom is nothing new, but new developments now make it possible for you to enjoy your favourite tunes in surround sound, watch TV and DVDs from the comfort of your bath and use the internet on a screen that becomes a mirror at the flick or a switch. And bathroom technology isn’t limited to entertainment. These days, you can make your bathroom experience as comfortable as possible. Heated floors, towel racks and toilet seats are becoming popular with home owners giving their bathrooms a remodel. Some renovators are even having refrigerated vanity drawers installed to chill drinks or store make-up and medicines.

tips & tricks

Bathroom blitz Let your bathroom live up to its full potential by giving it an inexpensive makeover. ou may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but your house will judged by its bathroom. A dated and distressed bathroom is not only an unpleasant place to bathe and relax, but it can lower your home’s re-sale value. If you are in the presence of a dodgy bathroom there are a couple of things you can do. Tracy Wilkins from NCP Bathroom Centres says the easiest way to give your bathroom a freshen up without spending a lot is to change your tapware and accessories, including towel rails, shelving and toilet-roll holders. “This can really improve the feel of the bathroom,” Tracy says, “but it’s important that you match the style of taps and accessories with the age of your home – if you have an older-style or a Queenslander, don’t go too trendy. “Other great tips are to invest in some colourful towels and to look at new window dressings. You’ll be surprised at the difference you can make with a relatively small investment.”

Craig Hawkins from Resurfacing Systems in Caloundra says if you don’t want to part with the cash to replace your bathroom, you can try bathroom resurfacing. “Instead of spending $8000 to renovate your bathroom, we can do it for $2000,” he says. Bathroom resurfacing involves taking bathroom surfaces that may be discoloured, cracked and chipped and giving them all a fresh new coat. Your bathroom can be transformed in a couple of days. “It’s all about doing chip repairs on bathtubs, fixing cracks in shower trays and resurfacing bathroom wall tiles,” Craig says. “We take an old look and old colours and bring them up bright and white. Resurfacing also eliminates mould and mildew and makes bathrooms easy to clean.” Other than cost, advantages of bathroom resurfacing include time frame (you can have a new bathroom in a couple of days rather than a couple of

weeks), it’s all done in-house and you have to deal with just the one trade. However, this method suits only those with existing bathrooms, not people who are building new homes. “We don’t create brand new bathrooms,” Craig says. “We target the renovation side of things, people who are buying and selling homes. We restore it rather than replace it.”

Time for you to get inspired If you’re renovating or building, you’ll ﬁnd everything you need for your new bathroom or laundry at your nearest NCP Bathroom Centres showroom. When you visit an NCP Bathroom Centre there’s no rush, no pressure and no hard-sell tactics. Our experienced staff always have Time For You. Wander around the extensive displays of baths, showers, spas, vanities, laundry tubs, kitchen sinks, toilet suites and accessories. Get some inspiring design ideas from the world’s leading brands like Villeroy & Boch, Caroma, Grohe, Hansa, Oliveri and more. So talk to the team at NCP Bathroom Centres. They know bathrooms and laundries inside out. And they always have Time For You.
