TOP PROPERTY TIPSFOR RENOVATING4REVIEWS 3

WHAT could be better thanrelaxing after a long day at theoffice with a glass of champagnein your back yard?

That is what Carolena Boyd,from Paxton Hoad, enjoys doingwhen she is not selling propertyin the western suburbs.

The bubbly agent said havingan Italian father ensured thateverything she embarked on waswith passion and commitment.

“From the day I commencedmy real estate career 22 yearsago, I have always loved what I doand if at all possible, have an evengreater enthusiasm for peopleand property nowadays,’’ shetold Residential.

“When I began my real estatecareer, it was still very much amale-dominated industry, largelyI believe, due to the irregularhours being seen as not too con-ducive to juggling small childrenand their needs.

“I have had enormous supportfrom family and friends, particu-larly as my husband PeterLawrance and I always workedtogether in the industry.”

In recent years, with her chil-dren grown up, Carolena hasturned her energies towardschairing REIWA’s Sales Consul-tants Network and chairing theREIWA’s Women in PropertyNetwork.

She is a firm believer in givingback to the community, andwhen not working is participat-ing in the Ronald McDonaldHouse Make a Meal Programwith a group of girlfriends.

“This is a fabulous program,where groups go into RonaldMcDonald House in Subiaco andcook a meal for the children andtheir families who are residingthere. Meeting these childrenand their families is truly inspira-tional,’’ she said.

“I have also served on theState board of Save the Childrenand am a past president of theSubiaco Business Association.”

Enjoying life and family timeare crucial to Carolena andamong her many hobbies aretravelling, cooking, eating won-derful food and drinking (prefer-ably) champagne.

“We have spent many lazySunday afternoons/evenings inour back garden at home justrelaxing and enjoying goodtimes,’’ she said.

“Another passion is startingthe day by visiting the gym, thencoming home and walking ourgorgeous Corgi-Chloe withwhom I have discovered manydelightful walks through KingsPark, Subiaco and West Perth.”

Despite the lacklustre natureof our property market placeover the past few years,Carolenais still confident.

“WA still has some of thecountry’s highest property prices– despite the corrections.

“This is one of those historictimes, I believe, that we will be

talking about in the not too dis-tant future, and saying that “weshould have bought when…..”

“If people are looking toupgrade – now is the time.

“Buying at the ‘bottom’ andselling at the ‘top’ may, if you arelucky enough, suit some.

“However, buying/selling in thesame market carries far lessrisk.”

Carolena remains dedicatedto offering exceptional service toher clients. ■

‘If people arelooking to

upgrade – nowis the time.’

Mark Hughes,from CastleprimeConstruction,shares four top renovating tips.1. Detailed Professional PlansThe old adage of ‘the devil’s in the detail’could not be truer when it comes torenovating or extending old homes.Ensure all details are noted on the plansand have a thorough specification. It isworth the additional time in the planningstage to save time and money at the con-struction stage.Try to minimise the num-ber of provisional sums within a quote –discrepancies cost time and money!2. Budget ContingencyUnfortunately older homes often comewith hidden ‘surprises’, so make sure thatyour budget is realistic and you have acontingency available. If the plans aredetailed enough, an experienced builderwill be able to give you a fixed price quo-tation,which will minimise cost increases.3. Second-storey AdditionsSecond-storey additions may not be asexpensive as you think. Through carefuldesign and choice of materials, a secondstorey can provide a significant increase infloor space. Commonly, timber-framed con-struction,with a tin or tiled roof and varietyof wall claddings ensure the new additionblends seamlessly with the old home.4. Experienced BuilderWhen renovating or adding to olderhomes, it’s wise to choose a recognisedbuilder who has experience in this area.They will have trades more suited to thistype of work, and also have project man-agement experience with working onexisting and older homes. Ask to see anumber of previous projects and speakto some of their past, or current, clients.They should feel comfortable in provid-ing you with a fixed price quotation andare likely to be a member of a profes-sional organisation like the MasterBuilders Association or Housing Indus-try Association. ■

To be built by Internationally acclaimed Psaros BuildersThe perspectives are presented as an indicative

guide only and are subject to change at any time.

Q: My husband and I bought ahome in 2006 for $700,000.

We then spent $75,000 onrenovations.

The property is on the marketnow for $895,000 but our bestoffer has been $820,000.

Looking at the movement ofthe market and the value of ourrenovations I thought our listingprice was correct.

I really want $895,000 for theproperty so we can clear ourmortgage, downsize and halveour loan.

Is it worth holding on to getthe price I want, or should I justcut my losses?A: Right, well the first mistake (andmany people made it) was buying in2006. Unless of course you boughtright at the beginning of the year. Dur-ing that year property values escalatedby an astounding 30 per cent – unreal-istically inflated by overzealous buyersand a shortage of stock.

As we know this kind of growth isunsustainable, and 2008 saw the GFCand a 20 per cent drop.

I have done the calculations on yourproperty which indicates the valuewith renovations to be around the$830,000 mark (assuming you spentwisely on the renos). So if you havebeen offered $820,000 at this stage Iwould grab it and run – especially asthere are some very good buys outthere at present.Q: What is the differencebetween a fixture and a finish?

We’ve recently renovated thehouse we’re selling and want toknow what we can take with us.A: A fixture is basically what is affixedto the property, eg toilets, light fittings,ovens, sinks, built-in robes etc.

Whereas a finish is how the fixtureshave been treated, eg the level of tiling,kitchen surfaces, and general quality ofthe fixtures.

As a seller, you don’t remove eitherfixtures or the finishes, as they formpart of the sale.

Unless otherwise stipulated inclu-

sions for any sale are light fittings, fixedfloor coverings, window treatmentsand anything else that is fixed in someway to the property. And please…don’t take the TV aerial!Q: If we make an offer on a housedirect to the owner (bypassingreal estate agents), how do weagree on a price?

A: I am assuming by your questionthat the property is not currently onthe market with a real estate agent.

So given that the owner is sellingprivately, and you wish to buy theproperty, you really need to do yourhomework and decide what you areprepared to pay for it.

If you cannot agree (and this is verycommon with private sales) then youprobably will not get the result youwant, and nor will the seller.

You really do need a third partyinvolved in this process as it can some-times be very confrontational on aone-on-one basis.

This is precisely why most privatesellers end up engaging a real estateagent to represent them and negotiatea deal that everyone is happy with.

Celebrated homecomes to marketIT is arguably WA’s most illustri-ous home of the 21st century, andnow the Dalkeith residence is forsale.

Designed by visionary architectand UWA lecturer Gary Marinko,the avant-garde single-level homewas built in2001 and hassince attractedworldwideattention.

It has fea-tured innumerousinterior andarchitecture magazines includingVogue Living, Belle, Wallpaper andmany architectural books, and is asource of inspiration for architec-ture students around the world.

The brief was simple; the own-ers commissioned Marinko todesign a house that was wheelchairfriendly and secure. However, what

transpired was so much more.A gallery surrounds the internal

living spaces.Curved skylights and floating

ceilings create soaring voids withinthe organic yet sophisticated inte-rior, which is passive solar and uses

minimal artificiallight.

Tilted concretewalls are strikinglyoffset by illumi-nated corrugatedfibreglass, givingthe home anindustrial feel.

The open-plan living/dining areaextends into a leafy, north-facingcourtyard, which features a dou-ble-glazed blue curved brick walland solar-heated pool.

There are three bedrooms inthe main house and a detachedself-contained guest suite with itsown spacious private courtyard. ■

Home has agedlike a fine wineEVERY once in a while you comeacross a home that you walk into andsay “ooooh I love this”.

This is one of those homes.There is nothing else quite like the

stately Boscombe Avenue residence,which was built in two stages between1930 and 1940 by a doctor who wasquite a local identity then.

Just four houses from the beach, it is arare example of the era’s architectureand remains one of City Beach’s finesthomes.

A vast lawnarea – once atennis court –flanks the beauti-ful grand facade,and is borderedby meticuloushedging andshady trees –just as suited tomodern dayentertaining as itwould have beento a garden partyof lawn bowlsand Pimm’s in days gone by.

The doctor ran his consulting prac-tice from a room accessed from theground floor, which is now suited to ahome office or studio for an artist ormusician.

Also on ground level is a walk-in lime-stone wine cellar with room for intimatewine tasting sessions.

A staircase on the western side of thehome leads to the entry.

Recently restored by the owner –who has undeniable style – the interior

is rich in historic ambiance yet at thesame time fresh and contemporary.

This level comprises a charming mod-ern kitchen, lounge and dining featuring

classic character hallmarks such as alimestone fireplace, floating timber stair-

case and leadlight doors.French doors open on to an expansive

terrace, whichoverlooks the

front lawn and isthe most envi-

able of summerentertaining

areas.Polished jar-

rah and balticpine flooring

flows throughoutand is set off

beautifully by thecrisp white

palette and loadsof natural light.

Three of the four bedrooms are onthe second level, including a luxuriousmaster suite with a lounge retreat and

french doors opening out to a spaciousnorth-west facing balcony.

With such gorgeous presentation andthe ocean at its doorstep, Number 24

feels just like a seaside holiday homethat you never want to leave. ■

Completed to the highest standard, the inte-riors offer just as much as the home’s locale.

Granite benchtops in the kitchen, marblefireplaces and travertine flooring are just someof the high quality finishes.

The split-level ground floor was designedaround a central courtyard and features a tran-quil water feature.

Doors from the dining area open out tomerge indoor/outdoor dining.

The bedrooms are upstairs, including thedecadent master suite, which has access to along balcony overlooking the picturesque

streetscape. Each bedroom is generous in sizeand has high ceilings.

The interior is warm and inviting with a styl-ish neutral colour palette, making it the perfectentertainer as well as a lovely family home toenjoy every day.

Precisely-designed home offers best of the west. By JANE EVANS

MAKE the sale of your home a pleasant process by avoidinga few simple mistakes.

Jones Ballard Property Group director Shaun Yeo said thelatest REIWA figures showed that there were around 15,600homes for sale in Perth, a jump of more than 40 per cent overthe last year.

“It is now taking more than 70 days to sell the averagehome in Perth due to greater competition amongst propertysellers,’’ he said.

“While many sellers are finding it more challenging to find abuyer, the reality is that each week in Perth hundreds of prop-erties are still being sold.

“Sellers have to take a pragmatic approach when listingtheir home for sale and avoid common mistakes which mayresult in the property being listed for sale over a long periodof time with the seller eventually having to accept a disap-pointing sale price because it had been over looked by the vastmajority of property buyers.”

Mr Yeo said sellers should avoid the following most com-mon mistakes that could frustrate the sale of their property;Mistake 1: Believing the property is worth more thanits true market value

This leads to overpricing the property and the result that

after several months it remains unsold.The longer the property is on the market, the greater dan-

ger of it becoming ‘stale’.

Mistake 2: Placing the home on the market before it'sready

Most times this happens because the seller gets impatient.In such cases it is common for the property to come on the

market with the horrible carpet (that gets replaced during themarketing of the home).

Presentation is everything, so get the work done beforemarketing the property.

Mistake 3: Overlooking the importance of the streetappeal of property

If there are several homes for sale in the area at a similarprice, buyers are least likely to inspect the property that ispoorly presented from the outside.

Mistake 4: Hiring an agent based on non-business fac-tors, ie they promise the owner the highest sellingprice

Make sure you're hiring a professional with a proven trackrecord.

Mistake 5: Getting emotionally involved in the sale ofthe home

This is one of the biggestchallenges home sellers facewhen putting their house onthe market. Once youdecide to sell your house,it's no longer a home, but aproduct.The property needsto be prepared as a product,marketed as a product, andpriced as a product.

Mistake 6:Trying tocover up problems

Homebuyers are much more informed about building andmaintenance issues. For example, if during a closer inspection,the potential buyer finds faults with the swimming pool orbore, they quickly lose interest because they will then believeother problems have been hidden.

Mistake 7: Not allowing the selling agent to do theirjob

For example, home opens are now a very effective way ofselling a home because buyers like to visit a home in an infor-mal manner. Some owners however, do not like home opensand end up excluding a large number of potential buyers fromviewing the property. Once a homeowner hires an experi-enced selling agent, they should follow their advice. ■

YOU have just bought the perfect block ofland; now all that is left for you to do is to buildyour dream home.

Where do you start? Scope Design & ProjectManagement that’s where.

The locally-based business is inspired by for-ward thinking architecture and luxury living,and specialises in designing exclusive, qualityhomes and facilitating the custom home build-ing process from beginning to end.

They remove time-consuming frustrations,provide total project man-agement services and giveyou peace of mind.

Having been throughmany beautiful homes, Ifound the ones which werecustom built always had thatextra something special.

Whether it was theirexquisite design, lavish inte-riors or clever free-flowinglayout, they all encapsulatedthat personal touch which is hard to replicate.

Led by award-winning architects and interiordesigners who will provide creative and leadingedge advice to craft a home that meets all yourexpectations, Scope DPM will not constructyour dream home, but rather add value as aregistered builder by independently presentingconstruction documentation to suitablebuilders and assisting in the selection and build-

ing process. Simon Herbert from Scope DPMtold Residential that the company specialised incustom luxury residential design and predomi-nately worked in the western suburbs – but didoccasionally did work in the State’s south-west.

“Our concept is new and a refreshing changeto the normal project builder process or archi-

tect to builder procurementroute,’’ he said.

“The real benefit we offerover all the other players in theindustry is that we have a qual-ified UK architect, qualifiedinterior designer and regis-tered builder all working directfor the owners offering inde-pendent advice.Therefore, wecomplete the whole processin-house.

“Our staff have worked with many of theluxury builders in Perth over the last 20 years(Oswald Homes, Webb & Brown-Neaves,Exclusive Residence, Atrium Homes) – so weunderstand the latest architecture and interiordesign, coupled with the fact that our regis-tered builder can provide cost estimates in-house to ensure budgets are maintained.”

Mr Herbert said owners maintained the

copyright of their design, and could walk awayat any time.

“We arrange the tendering of the project toensure that our clients receive the most com-petitive price,’’ he said.

“This seems to be a much better option thanif the customer went direct to a builder, as thecustomer would then be locked into a contractand will never know what the price may be

through a competitor We believe that compe-tition is the key to obtaining the best prices.

“We can then connect the customers withour high quality builders that we know andtrust. For time-poor customers we have theexperience and knowledge to handle everyaspect of their project. We can meet withshires, engineers, builders, demolition contrac-tors, pool companies, lighting designers, land-scape designers, cabinet designers etc – and pullthe whole project scope together.”
