BRETT LEE BUYS BOLLYWOOD-STYLE PALACE AT NORTHERN BEACHES SUBURB CLONTARF

The celebrity cricketer is a huge name in Indian film and a self-confessed singing tragic.

He starred in a Bollywood rom-com last year called UnIndian where Brett played the role as an English teacher falling in love with his Indian pupil.

The 39-year-old international cricketer already lives on the northern beaches in a waterfront home in Seaforth. He and his wife, Lana Anderson, love the area and have been looking for something with more lawn for a while.

Now the couple have bought a large tri-level home in the exclusive beachside cul-de-sac of Monash Cres, Clontarf.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom home has all the attributes of a Bollywood palace. There are vast open rooms, harbourside terraces, impressive luxuriating daybeds and space for the largest of Bollywood dance parties.

Robert Klaric, of The Property Experts International, acted on behalf of the vendors of the home and said the 16-year-old property was a true luxury compound.

“It is extremely private with big views, it gets all the sun and the house was only on the market for a month,” he said.

Brett Lee Monash Cres, Clontarf NSW real estate.

The elevated house was on the market with Richard Harding of LJ Hooker Lower North Shore, who said earlier that standing at the property felt as if you were hanging off the water.

The Monash Cres home on 1138sqm of land came to market at the beginning of August with a guide of between $5 million and $5.5 million. It is believed it sold within that range.

Although Mr Lee grew up in Wollongong his elder brother Shane, also a top cricketer, lives on the northern beaches.

Now that Brett and Lana have bought their large luxury beachside home expect to see their waterfront property come to market later this year.

THE PROPERTY MARKET WILL NOW DRAMATICALLY CHANGE - FOREIGH PROPERTY BUYERS COMING INTO NSW TO BE HIT WITH STAMP DUTY AND LAND TAX HIKES

Foreign buyers of property in NSW will be slugged with a 4 per cent stamp duty surcharge from this month and will pay an extra 0.75 per cent land tax from 2017.

The measures are set to be announced by NSW Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian in her second budget on June 21.

Based on the Sydney median house price of $995,804, the stamp duty bill for a foreign investor will increase by almost $40,000 - from $40,305 to $80,137.

If they are buying a unit at Sydney's median price, $656,000, they will pay an extra $26,240 in stamp duty under the changes.

AUSTRALIAN TAX OFFICE BOMBSHELL FOR THE PROPERTY MARKET

Thousands of real estate agents and property owners around Australia are about to get a terrible shock when they deal in property valued at more than $2 million.
On the day before the Federal election, Friday July 1 2016, the rules for transacting dwellings and commercial property worth more than $2m will change dramatically.
In short, all Australian sellers of $2m-plus properties will be classified as overseas investors unless they get a special tax clearance. That means that all buyers of $2m-plus properties must deduct 10 per cent from the purchase price and pay that amount to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) unless the seller has a tax clearance.
Chinese and Asian buying of Sydney apartments has already fallen 50 per cent in recent weeks and the trend is spreading to other markets, particularly Melbourne. This new measure, as well as creating chaos for locals, may accelerate the decline in the Chinese buying of apartments.
The current mess was created when former treasurer Joe Hockey caved into pressures to curb Chinese investment in Australian residential property in 2015. In the process, the treasurer was convinced by the Australian Taxation Office to widen the net to cover local residents.
Parliament was being bombarded with tax legislation at the time and the Canberra politicians did not pick up what the ATO had done.
So, fasten your seats belts for a horror commentary.
I was alerted to the position by one of Australia’s top commercial/tax barristers, John Fickling of WA. I am using many of Fickling’s words in describing what is about to happen.
If you purchase a property worth $2m or more on or after July 1 2016, you will be required to withhold 10 per cent of the purchase price and remit it to the ATO UNLESS the vendor is able to provide a special purpose tax resident’s “clearance certificate” from the ATO. It does not matter if the vendors were born in Australia and have lived all their lives in Australia — unless they have that clearance certificate, they are classed as a foreigner and the buyer must send 10 per cent of the purchase price to the tax office.
In case you think I’m kidding, read the ATO’s exact words: “A vendor who sells the following assets is also a relevant foreign resident, even if they are an Australian resident for other tax purposes.
The definition of property is very wide and includes leaseholds but does not include stock exchange investments. A purchaser who does not receive a “clearance certificate” from the vendor and does not send 10 per cent of the purchase price off to the ATO will still be liable to pay that 10 per cent to the ATO plus, almost certainly, will have to pay severe additional penalties and interest. The economics of buying the property will be severely damaged.
Fickling says all real estate agents selling $2m plus properties should be considering how this new regime will impact on their business and what will be the contractual consequences under the different scenarios that could play out.
For example, banks and other financiers may be affected where their secured debt exceeds 90 per cent of the value of the selling price. In a situation where the owner is being forced to sell, the banks will be better to take possession and sell themselves rather than being caught in the “tax clearance” delays.
To be fair, in the vast majority of cases local resident vendors will have no problem obtaining a “clearance certificate”.
However, for locals it might increase their risk of a tax audit and there are clear hazards for property sellers who:

  • Have not filed tax returns for many years;
  • Have filed tax returns, which would indicate they could not afford such a property;
  • Are selling their residential house at the same time as their neighbours to a single developer, which may give rise to a profit making scheme (such that the principal residence capital gains tax exemption may not apply to the value uplift generated by selling the properties together); or
  • Where the ATO has gathered information that indicates the vendor is in the business of developing property, which means that the principal residence capital gains tax exemption may not apply.

Fickling says in extreme cases action could potentially be taken by the ATO prior to the sale, to freeze the transaction.
Those who see any of the above as dangers might consider selling in a hurry (before July 1), so there might be some property bargains for buyers in coming weeks.
It’s also important to note that the $2m is “hard-coded” into the legislation, so, as property prices increase, more vendors will be caught. Over time, the ATO may shift their audit target identification processes to $2m-plus property vendors and away from other areas.
Additionally, if the vendor has a tax debt, the application for a “clearance certificate” may in some circumstances involve the ATO seeking to recover some or all of that tax debt from the purchaser by way of a garnishee notice.
At this point, it is worth noting that we are giving the Australian Taxation Office another weapon to recover tax legitimately owed and that is a good thing for society.
The great danger is the complexity created and that currently the tax office is badly run and is operating outside the law in key small business areas. It knows it can’t be challenged because of the cost of court cases.
Meanwhile, the legislation is yet another blow being aimed at Chinese and other Asian investors in property. These blows have come separately and each one has had reasonable motivations. But, in combination, they could inflict severe damage to the apartment and other parts of the residential property market.
Chinese and other Asian investors face a Hobson’s choice. They will not enjoy getting a tax clearance but nor will they appreciate the buyer of their property taking 10 per cent off the purchase price.
And if the tax office treats locals illegally, what might they do to foreigners?
Australia desperately needs greater independent supervision of the tax office.
Chinese investment in property has saved us from the worst effects of the big fall in the mining investment boom. But look at what is now happening:

  • Money is now harder to bring into Australia from China
  • Australian banks are imposing a credit squeeze on Chinese buyers.
  • On July 1 the Victorian state government is set to raise the levy on foreign purchases of apartments from 3 per cent to 7 per cent.

The situation has been made worse by a series of other events that have annoyed the Chinese. They include the rejection of the Chinese bid for the Kidman cattle empire and the giant Chinese conglomerate AUX Group abandoning its plan to make a $2.7 billion investment in Australia’s second largest private hospital operator, Healthscope, because of delayed FIRB approval. To that we can add the problems in the South China Sea.

JENNIFER HAWKINS: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET MOGUL

From NRL cheerleader to star businesswoman, here’s how the former Miss Universe built a multi-million dollar empire.Jennifer Hawkins really knows what she's doing when it comes to money. Jennifer Hawkins may well be Australia’s answer to a female Donald Trump.

While their political views may not align, Hawkins has a lot more in common with the man who made her famous than you might think.

Since her Miss Universe win, Hawkins has used her star factor to land several high-paying endorsements, her own brand of swimwear, self-tanner, shoes and tequila and a property portfolio experts estimate to be worth more than $10 million.

The stunner recently praised the Miss Universe pageant owner and Republican candidate for his work ethic, but stopped short of commenting on his politics.

“Sorry, I am sitting on the fence there,” Hawkins said. “You want to be careful what you say out there because it can be turned and … I don’t know.”

This response illustrates Hawkins’ approach to life – and business. Australia’s golden girl is measured and calculated, and guards her image – or rather, her J Brand – closely.

Hawkins takes her personal brand very seriously and it’s paying off.

Multi-brand empire

Hawkins’ caution is for good reason: she has plenty to lose. If it’s not her role as face of Myer it’s her ambassadorial work for lingerie brand Lovable, health food company Bioglan, Mt Franklin Lightly Sparkling water, car company Land Rover, real estate development Trinity Point, her own swimwear brand COZI or her hosting gig on Foxtel show Australia’s Next Top Model.

The burgeoning mogul owns at least six companies, including her shoe brand JLH, her self-tanning brand J Bronze, her new tequila brand Sesion and her umbrella company Universal Strategies Pty Limited.

Inspired by Elle Macpherson?

Retail Doctor Group Founder Brian Walker says Hawkins is modelling herself on Elle Macpherson, who he credits with setting a precedent for model entrepreneurs.

“If we look at Elle as a comparison, we can see she branched out into intimate apparel and other products and she has since built a business that has a revenue stream not relying on her modelling credentials,” Mr Walker told The New Daily.

“[Macpherson] is now worth about $60 million … the question is whether Jen can do the same”.

Hawkins is a brand ambassador for Land Rover, amongst at least five other high-profile companies. Photo: Getty

Mr Walker says Hawkins’ business strategies can be grouped into categories: the “intangible” and “tangible”.

“For example, if Myer pays Jen $5 million, she’s going to have to generate $50 million in revenue, because there has to be a return on investment,” Mr Walker said.

“This is the intangible aspect to her business: it’s a mix of current and future value.”

On the other hand, revenue from her property portfolio and shares (Hawkins has Myer shares which, according to News Corp, were worth $1 million back in 2009) can be directly calculated.

Not only is Jennifer the face of Myer, she also has shares in the company. Photo: Getty

Impressive property portfolio

Jen’s foray into property began in 2005, when she signed up as a spokeswoman for a new multimillion-dollar property development in Hong Kong.

Since then, the model has quietly amassed a portfolio which experts estimate is worth upwards of $10 million.

Property consultant Robert Klaric, located in Sydney, says Hawkins’ decisions to buy premium land and properties and then add value to them by either redeveloping or renovating shows financial acumen.

“Her strategy in terms of buying quality is critical: you know what they say, it’s all about location, and she’s always bought in the right places”.

Although Jennifer is a tight-lipped about her property acquisitions, it is estimated that she owns between four and six investment properties.

Last year, Hawkins sold off a three-bedroom investment property in the Newcastle suburb of Merewether for $731,000. According to Domain, the former beauty queen bought the house nine years ago for $620,000.

Hawkins has offered small peeks into her current home – from her bathroom to her walk-in wardrobe. Photo: Instagram

Hawkins and her husband of three years Jake Wall are known for their love of Sydney oceanfront properties, purchasing at least three homes in the beachside suburb of Curl Curl between 2007 and 2014.

One home, a three-bedroom cottage with a large pool and oceanic views, sold for just over $1.6 million in March 2013, while another five-bedroom property in Curl Curl was sold four years ago and is estimated to be worth $3.2 million.

In 2007, they bought a two-bedroom apartment in Bondi for $895,000, which they sold in September 2014 for $1.2 million.

Two years ago, the public got a rare glimpse into the model’s multi-million dollar waterfront property on Sydney’s northern beaches after she and husband Jake Wall put the penthouse on the market.

The couple built the four-bedroom, three-bathroom Curl Curl home after buying the headland lot for a reported $1,375,000 in 2010, and spent three years renovating the land with luxury Japanese-Australian architects Koichi Takada before finally putting it up for sale in 2014, netting a massive $4.1 million.

The view from the couple’s former home in Curl Curl, purchased for $1.6 million sold for an estimated $4.1 million.

‘Quality and beauty’

Hawkins’ love for real estate has culminated in J Group Projects, a branch of her company J Group (which she runs with Wall) specialising in “high-end architectural designed home construction across Australia”.

J Group Projects’ latest venture involves two adjoining waterfront blocks Hawkins and Wall purchased in the affluent Sydney suburb of Newport for $4 million in 2014.

Rendered images of Hawkins and Wall’s new pad. Photo: Instagram

The pair are building their “dream home”, with Pittwater council documents revealed by Business Insider showing the couple’s new project will cost them $2 million before it is complete.

Mr Klaric, who often advises clients interested in Sydney’s waterfront properties, says Hawkins’ new home is just “quality real estate”.

“It’s also beautiful, and it goes hand-in-hand with the image she is wanting to project: real quality and beauty.”

Hawkins has shared several photos of her latest construction project on Instagram.

He believes the beauty queen and Myer ambassador is worth at least $10 million – and that’s just based on her property portfolio.

For Mr Walker, Hawkins’ property investments can be seen as her “superannuation strategy”.

“The real estate empire that she’s creating is to make sure she always has something to fall back on in the event that something ever happens to her work environment,” Mr Klaric told The New Daily.

“It’s just really prudent business”.

Looks like this former Miss Universe has graduated to become a master of the universe.

Hawkins and Jake Wall are husband and wife and business partners.

PROPERTY MARKET PREDICIONS FOR 2016 - 8 EXPERTS PREDICT GROWTH!... I DON'T AGREE AND THIS IS WHY?

The 'Property Crystal Ball' is out for 2016 and 8 Experts have given us their opinions on what will happen in the property market this year!...
All 8 Experts have indicated a 'growth in the property market, ranging from 1% to 9% in The Sun Herald Domain Property Guide 2016.
My prediction, with more than 25 years working, living and breathing every real estate market including 'boom and bust' is that we will see 'No growth' in the 'Sydney and Melbourne' property markets in 2016. However, what we will see is an 'adjustment and correction' in the property market in the last quarter of 2016 of potentially up to 10%.
The reasons are, we will see a real slowing in the Australian economy, as well as the Chinese economy rapidly deteriorating. The world's leading EU economies are under serious threat from another GFC - Global Financial Crisis like conditions, and the reality of future terrorism in key international markets are now are real possibility. A decline in investors looking to purchase property due to the changes and restrictions in the new lending laws.
The major property markets in 'Sydney & Melbourne' will always have a simply 'supply and demand' formula. The 'demand' for quality real estate in sought after areas across Sydney and Melbourne will always remain strong, especially in the good suburbs and in the price range of up to $1,000,000 within 20 kms of the CBD. The 'outer suburbs' will see the biggest drop in prices as demand drops and supply of property is increased!...
MY EXPERT OPINION and PROPERTY TIP is; If you are a seller in 2016?... then sell in the first quarter of the year, and if you are a buyer?... Buy in the last quarter of 2016 or early 2017.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN 2016!


As I predicted on Sky News Business in January 2015 that the Sydney property market would 'Adjust' in the last quarter of 2015, and we would see a very different marketplace than previous years.
2016 will bring to light a very different property market with further price adjustments downwards. Auction clearances rates in Sydney have seen a record high of 89% in 2015 and finishing the year at 59%. So if you are a 'Seller' in 2016... Then the first quarter of the year will be the best time to sell and cash up. If you are 'Buyer' in 2016... then the final quarter of the year will be an excellent time to buy,  due to the following circumstances... The world economies are rapidly changing, the Australian federal election is due, slowing down of the Chinese economy, and the strong possibility that we will see interest rates increase.
However, the biggest 'game changer' in the Sydney real estate market for 2016 will be the new 'Price Guide Quoting laws' that will be introduced as of the 1st January 2016. The new laws introduced by the NSW Department of Fair Trading will change the real estate industry, and give buyers a much 'clearer picture of the property values' before they attempt to try and buy a property, and the 'DFT' will target the real estate agents who continue to implement 'under quoting tactics'.
 
2016 will be a 'property roller coaster ride'... it's the 'Property Adjustment we all had to have'.
 
On behalf of Leonie and I, we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe & prosperous 2016, and we would also like to express our sincere thanks for all the overwhelming support of our business 'The Property Expert Advisory Service' and our the response to our highly acclaimed property Book ... 'Secrets of the Property Expert - Your Real Estate Survival guide'.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE SYDNEY PROPERTY MARKET?... CRASH OR CORRECTION


Please click on the video link below:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFaXKRqNowo&index=2&list=PLQPVJFnTq9sLRBZ7bAedPGymJ9SjAiBEq

With over 25 years of real estate experience, working every property market, including 'Boom and Bust'. I have personally and professionally witness the pain attached to a property market 'crash'. In my opinion what we will see in our real estate market in Australia is a 'correction' and not a 'crash' to house prices, especially in major cities like Sydney and Melbourne. The property market simply could not have continued to sustain itself at the high levels or growth each year, that we have all seen over the last three years.
The real estate markets and the world economies have proven that markets do not simply just continue to grow at 10% plus yearly, without a correction along the way.
It’s a 'Correction' now happening, Not a Crash!...

PROPOSED CHANGES TO 'UNDER QUOTING' IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY



Please read the article below on the proposed changes to 'Under Quoting' in the 'Real Estate Industry'...

Reforms set to rule out understated property prices
Agents will have clearer requirements to adhere to as a result of under quoting reforms. The proposed laws announced by the Minister responsible for Fair Trading seek to prevent prospective buyers wasting time and money on inspections because a property price has been under quoted.
The reforms will restrict agents from advertising or communicating (in writing or verbally) any price for a marketed property that is less than their evidence-based estimated selling price recorded in the agency agreement.  
About the requirements
Under the new laws, agents will be required to:
 

  • include their estimate of a property’s likely selling price in the agency agreement
  • record the evidence that informed their estimate and provide the vendor with this evidence in writing
  • ensure a price range is no greater than 10% of the bottom figure (eg. $500,000-$550,000)
  • ensure advertising does not include any imprecise or unclear statements such as 'offers over' or 'offers above' or $XXX,000+. Importantly, an agent must never include any price in an advertisement that is less than the estimated selling price in the agency agreement
  • record all quotes provided while a property is marketed
  • notify the vendor if the original estimated selling price is revised. The agent will be required to provide the vendor with evidence (eg. market feedback) for their revised estimate and amend the agency agreement. Agents will also need to update any marketing for the property as soon as possible to ensure that no price is communicated that is lower than the new estimated selling price for the property. 

Together, the requirements provide a level playing field for agents in a competitive market. They also preserve the vendor’s opportunity to work with the agent to gain the best price possible for their property. Fundamentally, they will enable true competition between buyers whose interest in a property is not solicited on the basis of an agent’s understated price assessment.

Next steps
The reforms to the Property Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 will be before Parliament in the coming weeks. They are expected to commence in early 2016. In developing the reforms, NSW Fair Trading assessed comparable laws in other jurisdictions and consulted with key representatives from the real estate sector.
For further information go to the website:-  http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/

Please let me know your thoughts and opinions on the proposed new 'Under Quoting' laws...

BEWARE OF CHINA - THE PROPERTY AND STOCK MARKET CRASH IS COMING!...

We have just recently returned from our very successful business trip to Shanghai China.
To put everything into a very quick perspective…
The population in Shanghai is 24 million people, and in Australia we have a total of 23 million people.
Construction of new high rise developments have been happening fast and furious for the last 5 years, however the buyer demand for property has slowed to just virtually a crawl in Shanghai.  
The average 2 bedroom apartment in the centre of Shanghai sells for approximately $2 Million Australian dollars, however the majority remain empty and are offered for sale with no one buying them.
Now it’s very easy to see why the wealthy Chinese have been selling up in Shanghai China and moving to major capital cities in Australia to buy property and settle down.  
The reality is that, it’s been a half price property sale here for a very long time in Australia, especially for capital cities like Sydney and Melbourne for many of the wealthy mainland Chinese buyers wanting to invest and live while the markets in China have been strong.
However, Beware of China… The Property and stock market crash is coming!...
We have a very good Chinese client and friend who is in both markets, and has witnessed the Chinese Stock Market increase 150% in the last 12 months, but in the last few weeks it has been in free fall, losing nearly one third of its value.
And if property in China is now not selling fast and for no longer at the high prices that they were before, then the decline of Chinese investment will be also be very fast in to Australia.
Watch this space over the next 12 months as the Chinese property and stock market start to deteriorate further, and will ultimately have a massive impact on the Australian property market as well as the world economy.


 

HOUSING BUBBLE? Yes or No!...New Foreign Investment laws - will it help Australian Property Market?

All the talk in the property market at the moment is about the ‘Housing Bubble’…Yes or No? Bubble or Bust!...

The reality is we have a real estate market in Sydney and Melbourne that have reached a boiling point of being ‘not sustainable’, especially for any further long term growth in 2015 and onwards.
In my professional opinion, the property ‘Bubble will not Bust’ it will just adjust and deflate slowly in certain property areas in 2016.
 
As for the new foreign investment laws introduced by Joe Hockey the Treasurer of Australia, we will see the Foreign Investment from China and other Asian nations look at ‘alternative ways' to get their money in to Australia.
It’s all a bit too much, a little too late from the Australian Government, as the majority of foreign investors have already managed to get in to Australia and buy the properties that they want without anyone taking any notice!...

Watch this space over the next few months as more news will come to the attention of the Australian public about what has been happening and what is currently occurring in the ‘property market’ with Foreign Investors.
