April 2019 issue By Ray White North Ryde | Macquarie Park
What are some common property problems a buyer should look out for? When you are buying at auction, it’s always wise to make the most of the open home stage of the process. Spread your net wide, and you’re far more likely to find a property that you like. However, before you fall in love with that perfect piece of real estate, it always pays to keep an eye out for these common problems. They could easily turn that dream home for sale into a property nightmare.
TERMITES Termites are a staple of the Australasian landscape. Occurring nearly everywhere, from the most remote rural real estate to metropolitan apartments, you should be sure to keep an eye out for these little critters. Besides the obvious aesthetic damage that they cause, termites can cause major damage to wooden structures within the home – quite a problem if they get into loadbearing walls, for example. According to a paper from the United Nations Environment Programme, there are a number of ways of detecting termites if you know what to look for. Blistering wood, dry termite pellets or weak wood that breaks away easily are all clear indicators that you may have some unwelcome guests in your potential new home. Unscrupulous vendors may try to hide these indicators through new paint jobs or other cover-ups, so be cautious if you see an unusually fresh make-over.
RISING DAMP This can be part and parcel of the termite issue as the little critters are attracted to moist conditions. Rising damp occurs when the base of the wall begins to suck up the
surrounding water in the ground, spreading it through capillary action through the rest of the structure. Much like termites, this dampness reduces structural integrity and can encourage mould growth in the home, creating an unhealthy environment. So it’s best to catch it before you put in your bid! According to the Office of Environment and Heritage in New South Wales, rising damp can be identified in many of the same ways as termites: primarily, blistering wallpaper or paint. There also tends to be a musty smell. If there is salt in the rising damp, you will also find that the walls remain moist even in warm weather – and the salt contributes to even worse wall decay.
THE SENSIBLE ROUTE Both of these issues can be avoided through the use of a building inspection. While it’s all very well to trust your eyes and your nose, if you are particularly interested in a property, have a building inspection done. Remember, auctions are unconditional, so you can’t ask for these after you win!

Don’t leave anything behind It’s a commonly used phrase - “Don’t leave anything behind”. The final check you do before leaving your home when moving out and moving on! But, so often, the question is not asked “Are we confident we achieved the very best price for our home, or did we leave some of our precious wealth behind”? In a world where on average, owners only sell and move four or five times during their lives, it is so important not to miss the opportunity to achieve the premium price possible.
At Ray White, we want to be proud of our every sale. Achieving the best price is central to this. Having you recommend us to your peers is the reward we crave. That’s why we believe in agreeing on a clear selling strategy at the outset to bring the rewards we all crave, and the best result for you. Let us help you not leave anything behind.

3 ways to get the most out of your first investment property LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION There’s no point plowing a field with your tractor if the soil isn’t any good for growing anything. Choosing where to buy your property is just like a farmer determining which paddock to plant their seasonal crop. Some areas will produce much greater yields than others, so it pays to make a decision backed by information and insights. To find out what areas are performing well with the most profitable homes for sale, familiarise yourself with market reports and related blogs. Look into the median prices of different areas, how they’ve grown over the past decade and how they compare with surrounding suburbs. If you’ve managed to narrow it down to one suburb and you can afford it (a home loan calculator can help you here), study the local council reports and plans to see if there are any changes scheduled for the future that could affect property in the area.
These developments can range from positive to negative, such as a new grocery store down the road or a proposed motorway just over the fence.
ADDING SOME MODIFICATIONS After you’ve made an informed decision and bought a property for sale in a prosperous area, it can be tempting to just sit on your laurels and watch the cash amass from rent payments and capital gains. However, this won’t always work as you may struggle to find traction in a slower market. Fortunately, there are ways to build up your equity and profits. According to the Australian Property Institute, some of the most effective renovations include: • A fresh coat of paint (both inside and out) • Adding an extra bedroom or bathroom • An overhaul of the kitchen • Updating the front facade • Creating an outdoor entertaining area • Adding a granny flat
Obviously some of these renovations are cheaper than others, but what they all have in common is that they can add a lot more value than what they cost.
USING A PROPERTY MANAGER Having a constant mechanic on hand to tend to any issues your tractor might have means you will be able to enjoy the benefits of an investment property, without worrying about the speed bumps. A property manager can advertise for tenants, select the most suitable for your home, collect bond and rent payments, carry out inspections and deal with any repairs or required maintenance. If the manager works within a real estate agency then could also be equipped to offer you unique insights about the property market in your area. As they say, time is money, and using a property manager to mind your rental properties can save tractor loads of it.
