FIRST-HOME buyers may have had a hugeimpact on the property market in 2009, but itlooks like things will return to normal in 2010.

Federal and State Government incentives,combined with interest rates at a 49-year low,provided ample opportunity for those wanting

to break into the market and becomehomeowners.

WA had the highest number of first-home buyers during 2009 amid

191,000 Australians, making itthe highest volume of first

buyers on record.Rpdata research

anyalyst Cameron Kushersaid it was no real surprisethat the first-home buyerswere so active during 2009,

given the First Home Owners Grant Boost.“Adding to the Government windfall for first-

home buyers was a low interest rateenvironment,” he said. “This was further

complemented by incentives… such as low orno stamp duty on more affordable propertypurchases, plus the fact that most properties hadbecome more affordable during 2008 thanks toa fall in values.”

Mr Kusher said that the impact of the greatestever level of first-home buyer activity wascertainly felt across the rental market.

“This significant influx of first-home buyers tohome ownership eased rental pressure and hasbeen a factor contributing to falling rental ratesin many regions during the second half of 2009.”

However, Mr Kusher anticipates that first-home buyers will at least fall back to historicaverage levels during 2010, and said we canexpect to see a turnaround in rental marketswith higher rents ahead.

Also, with less competition, investors willbecome more active in the marketplace. ■

‘Return to normal’ is2010 homes outlookQueues of first home buyers will no longer be a factor as incentives,low interest rates and falling prices disappear, reports JANE EVANS

MOST investors do not make useof tax depreciation entitlements,according to national taxdepreciation company DEPRO.

Tax depreciation on either aresidential or a commercialinvestment property is a deductionagainst assessable income, allowingthe owner to reduce the amount oftaxation payable.

An investor is able to claim fortwo distinct types of depreciationon buildings.

The first is capital allowance,

which is based on the historicalconstruction costs of the property,which may include surveying,engineering, architectural andbuilding fees.

The second is plant andequipment where assets items aredepreciated at a higher rate thanthat applied to the buildingdepreciation.

Examples of plant andequipment include carpets, ovens,cooktops, dishwashers, clothesdryers, window blinds, air

conditioners, heaters and hotwater systems.

DEPRO marketing managerKarenna Tucker said: “It isestimated that only one in fiveresidential investors makes use ofthe tax depreciation entitlementswhich are available to all investorson all investment properties.

“They fail to understand that thetax benefits from depreciation canbe just as important as rentalincome, and tax benefits obtainedthrough depreciation can be

equivalent to 60 per cent of thetotal purchase price of theproperty. For an average newinvestment residential property inPerth, this can equate to over$200,000 in possible tax benefitsthrough depreciation.”

Ms Tucker said a largeproportion of these tax benefitswere never claimed, which meantthat each year hundreds of millionsof dollars in tax benefits were lostby investors not claiming theirlegitimate entitlements.

REIWA deputy president DavidAirey said most investors did nottake advantage of the hugedeprecation offsets they couldclaim on new or renovatedproperties to offset taxes andother costs by using a quantitysurveyor depreciation expert toassess their investment properties.

“They also overlook the securityand value that landlord protectioninsurance provides against loss ofrent and other damages caused byan absconding tenant,” he said. ■

Stylish pocketof peace in SubiWHILE I stand and wait for the agent to meet me, it suddenly strikesme how quiet Trillo Road is.

Almost too quiet, I think, to have Subiaco’s bustling restaurants, cafes,bars and shops on its doorstep – but it does.

This pocket of Subiaco Rise estate is tucked away making it privateand ultra quiet.

The double-storey contemporary property faces a park and children’splayground so it is an ideal family location.

The home was formerly a Novus Homes display home, evident in itsimmaculate presentation.

The facade incorporates cool greys and silvers in a rendered finishwith a large cedar door into the foyer.

A dedicated home theatre is off the entrance and features strikingwallpaper to one wall, as well as a vaulted illuminated ceiling.

Further along, two steps down, is an open-plan living, dining andkitchen area, separated by a structural beam with cut-off shelving.

The galley kitchen is compact but functional with a stone bench top,triple light pendants and timber cabinetry.

Aluminium bi-fold doors retract to join the lounge area with a lovelynorth-facing covered courtyard, ideal for entertaining in any weather.

The generous master suite features french doors with frosted glasspanels and a balcony overlooking the street.

It has an open ensuite, which has been luxuriously appointed with aspa bath and double vanities.

The third bedroom on the second floor has been converted to anactivity area or second living room.

The high standard of finish to this stylish home sets it apart. ■

A LOVE of sculpture, a social conscienceand a commitment to the people of SouthAfrica has resulted in artist Carrol Boyesbecoming much more than just a designer ofquirky pewter artefacts.

Originally a teacher, Boyes decided topursue her childhood dream of being an artistand began making pewter sculptures andcutlery from her home in Cape Town.

Twenty years later her business employsover 350 people, many from impoverishedLimpopo Valley, and her “functional art” iscoveted the world over with dedicatedspecialist stores in Cape Town, Athens, NewYork, London, Paris and now Perth.

It is a fabulous first for Perth and creditmust go to NadjaLatta whoopened theexclusive store inthe ClaremontQuarter shoppingcentre almost a yearago.

“Carrol is incrediblytalented,” Nadja said.

“Her designs are very beautiful butextremely functional at the same time. Thepieces are not works of art that are going tocollect dust on a shelf.

“They are designed tobe used and I think peoplehave found it a refreshingchange,” she said.

The functionality of thedesigns is so important toBoyes that each itemcomes with a lifetimemanufacturer’s warrantyand an individual care cardexplaining how to lookafter it.

Whether it is a set ofsalad servers, a bowl or abottle opener, everything is designed to lookfabulous and last forever.

Boyes mainly works with lead-free pewter,spun aluminium and stainless steel,

sometimes used incombination withwood andleather.

The durableand eclectic pieces

are timeless, andinherent to each item are

Boyes’ trademark quirkyinterpretations of the human

figure. Originally from South Africaand very familiar with the range,Nadja approached Carrol Boyes

two years agowith the idea ofopeningAustralia’s firstspecialist store inher new hometown of Perth.

Nadja eventuallydecided Claremontwas the mostcentral location, butfor shoppers whocan’t make it intothe Claremont storethere is an online

option where the entire range canbe viewed and purchased.

The Claremont store has a largeamount in stock and ready to bedespatched, but if Nadja doesn’thave an item you may want, she willorder it in from South Africa.

Nadja believes Boyes’ ethicalapproach to her business is an integralpart of the brand’s success. “Carrolreally helps the local community – and Ithink it is very important to mentionthat,” she said.
