Melbourne recently got named the world’s most liveable city for the sixth year running after scoring top marks in healthcare, infrastructure and education. However country living is becoming increasingly popular especially among young families, lets look at why:

The National Broadband Network (NBN) is a very exciting upgrade to Australia’s landline phone and internet telecommunication network. Having access to high speed internet gives us the opportunity to be more productive, entertained and connected with family and friends.

Buying your own land with LandGipps is more accessible than you may have thought. With a deposit from as low as $10,000 you can own your very own piece of Gippsland within a quality development. Brad Creighton, sales manager for LandGipps explains.  “When you find the right block of land with LandGipps, you can hold it for $1000 and buy it with as little as a $10,000 deposit subject to finance approval.  Of course, the $1000 goes towards the deposit.” Brad explains that Landgipps takes a simpler approach than many other developers and sales agents. “Rather than a 10% deposit, an allotment purchased with Landgipps can be held with a $1000 refundable deposit. On signing of a contract, the balance […]

When looking for your new home, do you consider the physical attributes of the area surrounding you? Would you like to be able to walk to the shops? Go for a walk, take the kids to a secure park and have a coffee? Would you like to have a communal area that facilitates useful free events for you, the kids or your parents?

Tell us a bit about yourself… My name is Hugh Weir, I have been working in the land development industry for 10 years and […]

Agreement This is the written contract for the sale and purchase of the property between the vendor (seller) and the purchaser (buyer). Deposit Part of the price (usually 10%) paid by the buyer when the agreement is signed or on confirmation. Equity This is the amount of the property that the purchaser actually owns – rather than owes. Freehold This form of title means that you own the land and the buildings on the property, with few restrictions. Mortgage A mortgage is a type of loan. Mortgages are used to make large real estate purchases without paying the entire value of the home and land up front. Over a period of many years you repay the loan, plus interest, until you eventually own […]

Being a 23-year-old girl I am all about treating myself.  Whether it is buying a new dress, going away for a weekend or a night out with friends, I will always find a reason to justify my spending. However, when it comes to being an adult my priorities are definitely not in order. Net banking has ruined it. If I want something I will make sure I find a way to get. If I can’t afford it at the time I will use my credit card or I will transfer money from my savings into another account just so I can treat myself. I understand that things do happen and you can’t account for everything. Your car might break down […]

WORK on the $2.5 million Bass Valley Children’s Centre in Corinella will commence this financial year with all the funding now secured and the tender process set. A State Government grant worth $900,000 was secured by the Bass Coast Shire Council, and the council contributed $1,527,128. The community raised the balance. “This is a great project that we will see through to its completion,” Cr Brad Drew said. Cr Clare Le Serve, who has been heavily involved in the project, said she was incredibly proud of the community for its hard work. “They’ve followed this process right from the start. They put forward all the documentation for a feasibility study and then a business case for this centre,” Cr Le […]

Median house prices in Corinella rose 40.4% in 2015 and thus far 12.61% in 2016 but note that it is a relatively thin market with approximately 80 properties sold over that period. With varied housing opportunities in the town from larger homes built in the last 10 years to holiday shacks dating back to the 1960s, the data can be deceiving and needs a closer look. At first glance it appears to be a volatile market however when you look at the trend over the last 10 years, you can see that investors, holiday home buyers and owner occupiers have enjoyed significant capital growth. The town has experienced capital growth well above that of it’s region and the money flow […]

By Steph Nash Building your first home is an exciting but overwhelming experience. Confusing terms and definitions, budgeting, and home loans can be confronting for anyone who has never looked at property before, and most of it probably won’t make sense.
