Headaches for managers

C oncerns with the increase in safety responsibilities outside of the core func-tion of property manage-

ment have been recognised by the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales.

REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin said over recent years there has been an escalation of the legal obligations associated with the role of property managers.

“Property managers are now expected to have competencies and express an opinion as to the integrity and respective safety of a broad range of building and safety issues including, glass, asbestos, window safety locks, smoke alarms, decks and balconies as well as swimming pools, and this not an exhaustive list,” he said.

“This extension of duties and responsibilities is a growing concern for the Institute.”

PropertySafe Managing Direc-tor Phil Oakes agreed the levels of injuries and, sadly, deaths in residential homes, whether they are owner-occupied or tenanted, are simply too high.

“We’re proud to have entered into a strategic relationship with REINSW to address these issues,” Mr Oakes said.

“With the proper education involving the key stakeholders, we believe that the growing trend can be reversed. This can be achieved by identifying any safety hazards in the property and ensuring that ongoing maintenance is well managed.

“With the assistance of REINSW, we will be running workshops to show real estate professionals how they can regain control. PropertySafe is excited to work with REINSW and know that by creating the awareness and providing the appropriate skills we will make a diff erence.”

I n a major coup for Raine & Horne, leading Newcastle real estate agent, Brett Mitten, has switched allegiances to

the Superbrand.Mr Mitten, who has been aligned

to a rival network for the past 20 years, relaunched his success-ful business as Raine & Horne Belmont in late September. The business will continue to operate from its highly visible premises at Shop 1, Jewellstown Plaza, Ntaba Road, Belmont North.

Angus Raine, Chairman and CEO of Raine & Horne, is delighted that Mr Mitten has decided to join the charcoal and gold of Raine & Horne.

“Raine & Horne has enjoyed a long and successful associa-tion with the Hunter region and

Major coup for Raine & Horne

we currently have offi ces in the Newcastle CBD, Swansea, Toronto, Blacksmiths, Stockton, Cessnock, Muswellbrook, Lemon Tree Passage and Nelson Bay,” said Mr Raine.

“It’s fantastic that we now have an offi ce servicing the eastern side of Lake Macquarie, and I’m really looking forward to working with Brett, who has built a really good business specialising in property subdivisions, and helping him establish Raine & Horne Belmont as a real estate market leader.”

Mr Mitten said his immediate plan is to develop the sales and property management businesses at Raine & Horne Belmont.

“The Raine & Horne brand will deliver me the best chance to grow our residential sales and property management businesses,” said Mr Mitten, whose professional associations with members of the Raine & Horne executive team helped seal his transition to the 131-year-old family owned and operated fi rm.

“I know COO Brian Reid and business support and develop-ment manager Greg Oddy very well, and I feel that the family values of Raine & Horne match my own.”

T he number of low-deposit home loans in the Australian market has decreased by more

than fi ve per cent in the past year, a sign that banks are becoming more risk-averse in a low interest rate environment, new research from RateCity shows.

A low-deposit home loan is one that requires savings of fi ve per cent, or less, relative to the value of a property and is measured using loan-to-value ratio or LVR.

RateCity research found that these loans now account for 69 per cent of the Australian market, down from 73 per cent in 2013.

The fi ndings come as the Reserve Bank of Australia board kept the cash rate on hold at 2.5 per cent at its October meeting

– steady at a record low for more than a year, and almost four years since the last rate increase.

Peter Arnold, product director, RateCity.com.au said, “We’ve got the cheapest borrowing on record for over a year and the fi gures show that some borrowers are overstretching the budget. So the banks are starting to take the reins on this matter and some are pulling in the belt before the regulators do.”

“New Zealand banks have had their hand forced and they’ve been regulated to have lower LVRs – meaning bigger deposits as mandatory. We’ve seen a few Australian banks pre-empt this and tighten up their lending crite-ria and we think we’ll see a little bit more of this,” he said.

“We see this as a good thing in terms of responsible lending, it means that borrowers, especially fi rst home buyers, need to do the ground work and not borrow beyond their means.

“Regardless of what happens with banks and regulations, really it’s up to consumers to decide how much they can borrow. Don’t take the banks’ word for it, do your own sums and don’t borrow too much.”

The RateCity database shows the average standard variable rate is 5.37 per cent, which for a typical home loan of $300,000, means a monthly repayment of around $1800.

“If, or when, we see

Low-deposit home loans on the decline

rates return to historical averages of around seven per cent, borrow-ers need to be ready to pay an extra $300 on average per month and potentially more than that – that’s a fair amount to handle as other living costs increase, so borrowers need to add a buff er now.”

@newcastlepostAround your place

It’s bed time!

A fter a long hard day there’s nothing better than retiring to the comfort of your

bedroom. But if your room is more of a nightmare than a dream it may be time for an update.

If you’re not sure where to start Kara Norris, Group Manager Prod-uct and Marketing at Forty Winks is here to help with some advice on how to turn your bedroom into a relaxing and appealing night time sanctuary.

The best bedrooms are a perfect balance of functionality and visual appeal.

Some of the most popular options on the market are bedroom suites that have drawers under the bed or bedhead storage to help keep the room free from clutter.

There are also gas lift options that allow for storage within the bed itself.

For those who love to snuggle up in bed and watch movies

Considering how much time you spend there, your bedroom should look good and feel comfortable

there’s some pretty cool high tech options like TV beds with built in 3D Bluetooth surround sound speakers for a home theatre expe-rience in your bedroom.

In terms of bedroom furniture design it really depends on your personal style preferences.

Choose a colour palette that makes you feel relaxed and consider using smaller items like pillows and throws to add some bright colours to the space.

If you’re looking to make a statement accent walls are a great option and for that truly homely

space why not add some fresh plants into the room.

To keep up with current trends opt for bedroom furniture in retro revival styles or look for uphol-stered bedheads.

If you’re wanting to create a more personalised look try mixing and matching bedhead, base and fabric options.

Remember, you’ll spend plenty of time in your bedroom so it pays to make it look good!

To check out the latest products for your bedroom visit www.fortywinks.com.au.

Building a man cave

Sports memorabilia: The best man caves have some fantastic framed items from different sports. Spend some time on eBay and you can score some really good bargains that will enhance the validity of your man cave.

TV: You need to make sure your man cave has a really good quality television. No small screens in man caves! Make sure you get a DVD player as well, so you can watch a movie with your mates.

Spills are OK: The worst thing you can do is fuss over somebody spilling a beer in your man cave. Therefore, make sure you get a lounge and carpets that aren’t too expensive. You need to be prepared for the odd spill.

Bar: Depending on the size of your man cave, having a bar in the room is what will make your man cave go from good to brilliant. Have a range of drinks available, grab some nifty bar merchandise and be the king of your castle.

Extra seating: Don’t just get a two-seater lounge unless you plan to just hang out with your mate and nobody else.

Bar stools: In terms of the extra seating, bar stools are a great option. They don’t take a lot of room, and they can be a really attractive addition. It’s certainly worth the investment.

C had Dunn of Century 21 Novocastrian at Wallsend has a special “register your interest” period for a

special fi rst open home for The Post readers.

You can register your interest to see the fi rst open house for fi ve tightly held Fletcher properties about to be released individually to the market in November this year.

They consist of brick and tile single level homes ranging between 7 to 12 years of age that have been renovated with new carpet, fresh paint and landscaped

yards. Each will be ready to move into before Christmas.

Chad says that there will be some serious interest in these homes and anyone looking in the mid $400’s to the mid $500’s should register their interest in the next two weeks before the fi rst open home in November.

The homes will feel like they are brand new except for the fact that they are in an established street and amongst lovely established landscaping.

Mr Dunn also gave a hint that two of the homes have side access to park a boat or caravan off street.

Century 21 Novocastrian can be contacted for more details on 02 4955 6888.

Trading takes very seriously. It is currently investigating a removal-ist company that has recently come to its attention.

“This trader secures its clients through web based advertising and has been the subject of a signifi cant number of consumer complaints.’’

Moving house was stressful for most consumers, so it was impor-tant people did their homework to avoid costly and frustrating problems during their move, Mr Mason-Cox said.

“Before hiring a removalist, ask them for a written quote on the total cost of the move and for an estimate on how long the move will take, along with any additional costs that need to be factored into the move,” Mr Mason-Cox said.

“To help the removalist give you an accurate quote, make sure you give them detailed information about your moving needs.

“Always read carefully the terms and conditions of any contract and check for hidden costs. Be wary of pre-payment or providing credit card details upfront in case you need to cancel or change your mind.’’

Mr Mason-Cox also encouraged consumers to take their time to shop around and compare services.

Complaints about removalists have skyrocketed in recent times

Avoiding headaches when moving out

N SW Fair Trading Minis-ter Matthew Mason-Cox has warned consumers to watch out for dodgy

removalists, following a spate of complaints to the state’s consumer watchdog.

Mr Mason-Cox said NSW Fair Trading received nearly 300 consumer complaints against removalists in the nine months to September 30, with 45 of them reported last month.

“The number of complaints recorded in September was double that of last year and higher than any other month since February 2013.

“Loss or damage to property accounted for most of the complaints. Other complaints include dissatisfaction with the service, failure to supply the service paid for, concerns about charges higher than the quoted price and hidden or non-disclosed charges.

“These are issues which NSW Fair
