Your Buyers Advocate News

Market Snapshot October 2009

Over the last 6 months prices for quality residential property in Melbourne has remarkably increased substantially. This has occurred because of a record shortage of supply of quality stock and continued low interest rates. Also, confidence is returning amongst buyers as the effects in Australia of the global financial crisis hasn’t resulted in the economic turmoil that many were predicting. Prices have now bounced back to surpass the heady heights of 2007.

Beware of Statisticians who don’t attend auctions.

You can rarely make generalizations about property markets in major cities. Unfortunately many statisticians are prone to such errors. Generalizations about property markets are based on the incorrect premise that all properties perform the same from a capital growth perspective. Unfortunately most statisticians who are not in regular contact with buyers and sellers or attend auctions regularly make incorrect observations.

Legal Chat - By Andrew Padanyi B.A., LL.B.

The obligation on a vendor to provide a statement under section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1962 (the Act), commonly referred to as the section 32 statement, is reasonably well-known. Intended to be a consumer protection device, the statement is required to set out various pieces of information regarding the property being sold, eg. land use information, a description of restrictions affecting the property, rates and other charges levied on the land etc

Waterproofing

One of the most common causes of building faults in residential buildings is incorrect or inadequate waterproofing and surface drainage. It is always a bonus if it is raining during a property inspection. In this situation you are able to observe exactly where the water is flowing. Is the water running away from the building? Is the guttering and down pipes leaking? Is water ponding on the roof structure or near the building? These are just some of the important questions that can be answered if you are lucky enough to inspect a property during a downpour. Over time water can cause serious damage to a building, the following are just some examples.

Recently there have been a number of changes made to the regulations governing foreign investment in Australia. I have outlined a few of the more significant changes. A more comprehensive explanation of the recent changes is outlined on the Foreign Investment Review Board website.

Property Management Review

The inner Melbourne rental market is still extremely strong with quality properties attracting multiple applications. For investment purposes it is important to purchase a property not too far above the suburbs median price as this will result in the rental asking price being also around the median price for the suburb. This is where the greatest pool of potential renters will be. In a tight rental market this could be the difference between a rented or vacant property.

When a Bargain is not a Bargain!

I always get a little concerned when property buyers start talking about buying a bargain. More often than not their interpretation of a bargain is flawed. What they have purchased or are going to purchase is a cheap property that will not perform very well from a capital growth perspective.

Is Your Advocate 100% Independent?

As property consultants we have always prided ourselves on being totally independent. We are not aligned to any particular selling agent, property developer or any other group where a conflict of interest could arise. When we search for properties on behalf of our clients the whole marketplace is examined. Our clients can be assured that we will submit properties that best suits their individual needs without fear or favour to anybody. A growing trend amongst buyer's advocates is to advertise their services on the websites of selling agents. In this situation I believe these buyers advocates are setting themselves up for a conflict of interest. Will they favor that particular selling agent when submitting properties to clients? What about a situation where they are negotiating the purchase of a property that is listed with that particular selling agent. Because the selling agent has allowed them to advertise on their web site, are they going to go soft on them with negotiation? I believe there is potential for a conflict of interest.

Editorial

Your Buyers' Advocate Newsletter Editorial (Issue 11)

Hello and welcome to our six monthly news letter. The quality sector of the Melbourne property market has remarkably held its value in the midst of the international financial crisis. This has been particularly so at the lower end of the market. In fact over the previous 3 months this segment has increased in value by about 10%. I believe it is always a shrewd strategy to purchase an investment property at the lower end provided it ticks the boxes of what constitutes a quality property.
