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 fi rst year – thanks MPR, keep up the great work and happy 1st birthday from the team at Victor Realty.

Coast profile

We 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 Heff eran, 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. “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 didn’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 confi dence, internal migration, government support for home buyers and, at the same time a limited supply of new stock.”

He says the economic turmoil over the past 12 months

In this fi rst 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.

Page 6.indd 1 12/08/2009 12:41:26 PM

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. Th is 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. Th e 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. “Th e burgeoning population on the Sunshine Coast means that people still have confi dence in the area where they can fi nd plenty of property bargains, coupled with the lifestyle opportunities to commute,” says Cameron.

Michael adds, “Th e 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.”

Th e 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 aff ord 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 fi rst-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 soft er market conditions for the remainder of 2009. For buyers across all categories, it’s worth remembering that with a soft er market and lower interest rates, astute buyers can purchase competitively priced property and position themselves for futureprice 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 infl ation and interest rates .”

What we can expect, it seems, is the unexpected. “Th e 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 totrot

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.

Harry Reed is a content man. Now in his sixties, the life of this local property developer-cum-philanthropist has gone full circle. From humble

beginnings as a bricklayer living on acreage in Graft on, 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 aft er 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 diff erent 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 offi cially retired, but you won’t fi nd 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 aft er 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. Aft er six months or so of looking at places to buy we came up with this place here.”

Th e 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. Th irty-fi ve

acres that is now home to 20 racehorses, 22 stables, an offi ce 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 fi ve bedrooms, six bathrooms, two fi replaces 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

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 fi ve 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 diff erent 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 solidifi ed our decision to sell the apartment. Th e 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). Th is, not-for-profi t 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 eff ected 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. Th e foundation’s manager had

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.”

Th e 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

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 Th erapy 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 hearing-impaired 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

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, fi nancial assistance was provided to Family Challenge, a Sunshine Coast-based, not-for-profi t 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 fi rst to praise the local community for its overwhelming ability to give generously. “Th e Sunshine Coast is a very generous place. Th ere are a lot of people who give large sums of money to charities here on the Coast. Th ey 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 offi ce life and doing what I was doing. I just love horses too much.”

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

These imposing buildings really do scrape the sky.

Aroundthe World

Gazeworld

When 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 ‘Th e 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. Th e problem of transporting people around the 400-fl oor 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. Th e 600-metre Russia Towers (pictured top centre) is being constructed in Moscow. Th e Russians are also off ering 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.

news & views

Newcomers RE/MAX growsAward winnersStuart 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.

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.

Th e purchase is the latest step forward for RE/MAX’s strong presence on the Sunshine Coast property market.

Th e 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. “Th ere are some very experienced people with some exceptional knowledge behind the RE/MAX group.”

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 eff orts throughout the year, by picking up a string of awards:

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

the year

Candice Plant• Excellence in customer

relations award• Property manager of the year fi nalist

Sally Carrick • Receptionist of the year fi nalist

Th e team would also like to welcome Brad Milton (pictured below bottom left ) to the offi ce. 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.

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industry

Ian Strachan is now part 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.

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 benefi ts to sellers by signifi cantly 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

Th ere are three diff erent kinds of fees associated with breaking the terms of your mortgage: early termination fees, which generally apply if you pay out your loan within fi ve years; discharge and administration fees; and break costs for fi xed-rate home loans, which are generally pretty heft y.

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. Th ese costs include a discharge fee (for discharging the loan early), administration costs (relevant to your particular home loan contract) and even legal costs, if applicable.

Unfortunately, if you have entered into a fi xed-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. Th is is one of the big downsides of cheap fi xed-loan agreement. Remember that break costs go up as interest rates come down, because break costs represent the diff erence between the total interest you agreed to pay for the fi xed 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.

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 fi xed interest rates, make sure you ask your lender exactly how the loan works in various scenarios, such as paying it off early. Th is way you can choose the best product for you and are more likely to avoid potential hazards down the track.

If you have a fi nancial windfall or come into some cash and decide to use it to pay off your home and it is within fi ve years of taking it out, you will generally be charged an early discharge fee. Th is fee can vary signifi cantly 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 fi xed fee to up to three months interest on the remaining balance. Generally, cheap loan dealsand honeymoon rate arrangements carry heft y early discharge fees.

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.

Crunch the numbers

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

While the majority of break costs are set in stone (especially when associated with breaking a fi xed-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 off er 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.

hinterland

New fi gures show that the property market in our hinterland towns is holding strong in the face of recent economic woes.

by Dorothy Drane

Rail towns on trackThe 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-aft er 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.

“Th ey 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.

“Th e 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. People are looking at what is happening and using research to decide where they

should buy and here they see good prospects with ever-improving infrastructure.”

Rosemount attracts some of the highest rents in the hinterland with a median asking price of $460 for a house, closely followed by Palmview at $450. Th e cheapest rents are in Maleny and Montville at $330 with Mapleton higher, on $383. Th e median asking rent in the rail towns is $350 to $370 per week.

Generally, the cheaper the rental area, the older the population. Maleny has the oldest median age of 54, compared with 39 in the rail towns and 36 in Glenview and Palmview.

Th e younger median age of residents in these areas refl ects the percentage of working families choosing to live within the commuter belt.

Glenview has been a star performer, with sales rising from three in March 2008 to seven in March 2009, the median price also increasing from $532,500 to $555,000 with a percentage change of 9.1 per cent up in the past fi ve years.

Although only 34.9 per cent of homes are owned, with 51.2 per cent mortgaged, the 14 per cent of rentals achieve $405 a week.

It’s the same ownership story at nearby Palmview, but rentals are higher at $450. Sales dropped from two in

March 2008 to none in 2009 and prices have increased by 4.4 per cent in the past fi ve years.

Th e rail towns have performed most strongly, although sales have been aff ected by the economic downturn, dropping from 28 in Glass House in March 2008 to fi ve in March 2009, and from 34 to eight in Beerwah and from 17 to fi ve in Landsborough.

Beerwah has enjoyed the highest price increase, up by 8.9 per cent over the past fi ve years, compared with 6.9 per

cent in both Glass House and Landsborough. Beerwah, as the commercial centre, also has the only unit dwellings.

Rentals in the rail towns range from $350 to $370 a week. Beerwah and Landsborough have the highest percentage of rentals at 26 per cent compared with 20.7 per cent in Glass House.

Th e median house price in Glass House is $412,000 compared with $387,500 in Beerwah and $365,000 in Landsborough.

On the range, sales in Maleny dropped from 13 in March 2008 to four in March 2009, but prices increased by 8.3 per cent compared with Mapleton where sales dropped from nine to three and prices grew by 5.5 per cent. Th e median sale price in Maleny was $491,000 to Mapleton’s $430,000.

However, rentals in Mapleton, which account for 23.1 per cent of housing tenures, were more attractive with a median asking rent of $383 compared with $330 in Maleny, which has 17.6 per cent of its properties rented.

More people own their own home in Maleny at 55.7 per cent compared with 45.4 per cent in Mapleton. Montville has 44.7 per cent home ownership and 22.5 per cent rentals achieving $330 a week.

Th ere was only one property sale in March in Rosemount, where prices have increased by 8.9 per cent in fi ve years. Th ere were fi ve sales in the same period last year. Only 12.1 per cent of properties are rented, at a median of $460 a week.

Keils Mountain has a similar percentage of rental properties but the median asking price is $415 a week. Th e number of sales dropped from three to none, and prices have been steadier with only a 1.1 per cent increase in the past fi ve years. Th e highest earners live in Keils Mountain, where the average gross weekly income for a household is $1151.

In the north, Eumundi sales dropped from six in March 2008 to two in March 2009, but prices have increased by 5.6 per cent over the past fi ve years. Th e median house price is $535,000.

Chevallum is also a tightly held market, with only one sale in March 2008 and none in March 2009, although prices have increased by 7.9 per cent in the past fi ve years.

Th e number of sales in nearby Mons dropped from four to two but prices rose by 13.4 per cent over fi ve years. Rentals are $350 a week and account for 16.4 per cent of the housing.

Beerwah is coming into its own. People are

looking at what is happening and using research to decide

where they should buy and here they see good

prospects with improving infrastructure

DIY

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 easy on the

back pocket. A more aff ordable, and very 1980s option is to go for lattice work, or go for the chic

screen of late, bamboo. You can buy bamboo screens in a range of

diff erent sizes and they usually come in lengths

of one or one-and-a-half metres with varying heights. Th ey do need to be nailed onto some type of fi xed

structure but are easy to mount and create a very

calming, Balinese-style feel.

Q 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 fl ared 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 diff erent 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 fl ight 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, kaft ans and John Farnham (he’s 70 isn’t he?)

BathsFreestanding 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 fl ush against one wall.

ToiletsTh e 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 diff erence in a design sense, as the cistern is concealed in the wall, giving the space a much cleaner, minimalist look,” she says. “We’re fi nding they really grab people’s attention and they’re proving very popular.”

cover story

Bath timeOnce 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 fi nding it in their once-humble bathrooms. Trimmings such as steam rooms, aromatherapy devices and surround-sound stereo systems are creating private relaxation centres. Th e latest shapes, colours, materials and ergonomic considerations are important factors when creating or renovating a bathroom.

TilesTh e 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. Th e trend of the minute is to choose the largest format tiles available and using these all over the room, from the fl oor right up to the top of the walls. Using the same fl oor 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. “Th e big advantage with dark-coloured fl oors is dark grout, making it easy to clean.”

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

fl oral 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 fl oors will also make your bathroom seem larger.

Vanities and basinsAlthough vanities are a great place for storage, lovers of all things contemporary are seeking styles that appear to fl oat 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 soft ened with a round or egg-shaped basin and an interesting fi nish of colour. Look out for basins with fl oral patterns and textures.

ShowersGone are the days when the shower was simply a place to wash. Modern showers can be customised to be used as steam rooms and fi tted 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 off er stylish convenience, comfort and neat storage. Th e sleek and streamlined feel is continued with frame-less glass doors or no doors at all.

Turn your bathroom from a simple wash room into a relaxing retreat.

bathroom renovator with a Building Services Authority (BSA) license. Many home owners, attracted bycheap quotes, use unlicensed trades people. Unfortunately in these casesthere 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 theBSA for how much you’re actuallyallowed to do. Th ere’s a certain limitto how much you can do without alicensed trades person involved.

Hi-tech on the tilesWho says televisions belong in the lounge room and refrigerators should stay in the kitchen?

As 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 fl ick or a switch.

And bathroom technology isn’t limited to entertainment. Th ese days, you can make your bathroom experience as comfortable as possible. Heated fl oors, 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.

Time for you to get inspiredIf 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.

Bathroom blitzLet your bathroom live up to its full potential by giving it an inexpensive makeover.

You 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.

“Th is 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 diff erence 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, fi xing 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.”

I have been a mortgage broker on the Sunshine Coast with Loan Market for the

past fi ve years and have 13 years’ experience in the fi nance industry.

Based in Alexandra Headland but travelling throughout the Sunshine Coast, I have worked extensively with people with a diverse range of home

loan needs to fi nd the right home loan, including fi rst-home buyers, investors, and self-employed borrowers.

It’s important to understand that there is a range of home loan types and corresponding interest rates. Depending on your requirements, I can assist you to fi nd a low rate for the home loan you need, perhaps even with your own bank.

I am passionate about helping people throughout the entire home loan process.

Business profi le – Loan Market Aft er some 43 years

in the building industry working on new homes and renovations,

interstate and on the Sunshine Coast, Neil and his wife Bronny, with their sons Rick and Brae, decided to go into business on their own, and Build 2 Enjoy was created.

Th ey could see a need for a builder

who would be available 24/7, who would actually listen to what clients want and be prepared to sit and talk patiently about their needs.

Th ey have a great trade base of sub-contractors available to cover all trades and nothing is too small or too big, or too simple or too complex.

Build 2 Enjoy can create something special just for you, so feel free to contact them any time.

Lucrative opportunity

Caloundra West moving ahead

This could be your last opportunity to buy your own piece of prime blue-chip commercial space at a

below replacement price. Situated only 150 metres from the beach on the ground fl oor of Elouera Towers, this neat 147sqm commercial unit is completely decked out and currently used as an upmarket day spa. Either move straight in and restart your

business or expand or just refi t to suit your own business. Th e current owners must sell now or before auction day.

Caloundra is on the move and so is the Caloundra West Business Park estate with two buildings recently

completed and several more commencing shortly. Th e 2.8-hectare development will feature a strategic mix of high-end industrial units as

well as commercial offi ces. Th is Caloundra West Business Park

project has been managed by Exeter Estates and provides easy access to Nicklin Way heading north and also to the Bruce Highway where Brisbane is only an hour away. It is the last

remaining site of signifi cant size so close to Caloundra’s CBD and pristine beaches with all buildings being modern in style and designed to incorporate the needs of various investors.

Like Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast is fast running out of quality commercial properties, particularly in the popular retail and tourist hubs, like Caloundra and with the quality and diversity of product on off er at the Caloundra West Business Park estate, these opportunities will not be available for long.

Henzells Agency Commercial Division is holding a series of open

days to showcase this very unique project. If you would like to secure your property of choice, an inspection is recommended as soon as possible.

The beachfront site must be sold on or before auction

With a shortage of quality commercial properties, the timing for Caloundra West Business Park couldn’t be better.
