Queensland Housing Market

Local Government Area
Australia’s growing housing shortage is typically measured at the national and state level. The Local Government Area (LGA) has been chosen as the regional
unit of analysis as local government is typically the planning region.

As a guide to housing demand and supply HIA developed a detailed database for LGA’s providing current and projected underlying demand and dwelling
completions and the resulting housing shortage/surplus. The following section details the major results for Queensland.

Queensland Regions
There are dwelling shortages in over half of Queensland Local Government Areas (LGA’s)

Shortages exist in just over a half of the 157 LGA’s across the state. The majority of the shortages can be found in the South East corner of Queensland,
although Mackay and Cairns, in the north and far northern regions of the State, are also in shortage. Not surprisingly, the housing shortage is most marked in
the Brisbane LGA with a huge shortfall of 6,474 dwellings. Beaudesert follows in a distant second place with a deficit of 2,227 dwellings for 2009.

Ipswich is in a substantial shortage of 1,913 dwellings, while Caboolture, Logan, and Maroochy are all in a deficit of just below 1,500 dwellings.

Table below shows that many of the LGA’s with the greatest housing shortage are also the same regions with the highest level of demand. Again, it’s the
growth areas within South East Queensland and Cairns where demand will be highest. Current construction levels in these areas are not sufficient to meet the
population growth needs.

The Gold Coast is expected to be the focal point of Queensland’s underlying demand by 2020. Based on current building trends, a shortfall of 10,777 dwellings
looks set to materialise in the rapidly growing metropolis. Demand is expected to also be substantial in Brisbane, however the current trend would suggest
that the present housing shortage there is set to shrink over the next decade. It is also interesting to note that in every one of the top ten areas where
demand for housing is set to be strongest in Queensland, current building trends indicate that a substantial shortfall will become apparent by 2020.

                                                                                                            © Sold on Property Pty Ltd. All Rights Reserved.   |   Page 15 of 26

     Queensland’s Housing Shortage
     Based on current trends, Queensland’s housing shortage would hit 154,000 dwellings by 2020.

     Since the 2006 Census, Queensland’s lack of new home building has turned the state from a housing ‘surplus’ to a housing ‘shortage’. HIA estimates that
     as of 2009 the shortage was 8,216 dwellings and rising rapidly.

     The massive, recent deterioration in new home building activity is bad news for the state. On current housing trends, HIA expects Queensland’s housing
     shortage to reach 88,000 by 2015 and 154,000 by 2020.

                                                                                                                  © Sold on Property Pty Ltd. All Rights Reserved.   |   Page 16 of 26
These estimates relate only to projections based on current trends. If the market was allowed to operate freely and land shortages did not exist then it
should be expected that completions would grow rapidly over the coming years and mitigate the problem. The reality in Queensland is that affordable,
well located land is not abundant.

In the absence of an appropriate supply response the accumulation of a housing shortage will see continued pressure on housing affordability over the
next decade. The lack of affordable and appropriately located rental properties will only worsen, while pressures on house prices to continue to outstrip
incomes growth will remain.

Underlying demand
Queensland needs to build around 45,000 dwellings per year

Underlying demand is a notional measure of the level of demand required to satisfy a growing population. The calculated number is not intended as a
forecast of actual demand. It is an estimate of the long term housing requirements for a given region. Actual demand is determined by a whole range of
factors which can vary greatly from month to month according to, inter alia, house prices, interest rates, investor confidence, and employment
opportunities. Underlying demand abstracts from these factors and focuses purely on demographic factors, which tend to be more predictable in the
short term as well as slower to change. The major demographic changes include population change and household size/formation rates.

Future underlying demand and housing requirements
Queensland needs to build 471,000 new dwellings over the coming 10 years, which is 120,000 more than were built over the last 10 years

The current strength of population growth in Queensland means that underlying demand figures are currently at record high levels. HIA bases the future
population growth estimates on current ABS projections, which are lower than current levels of population growth. The estimates for at least the short-term,
should be viewed as conservative. The latest ABS population numbers have hitherto suggested no sign of any slowdown in growth.

The estimated underlying demand requirements over the coming 10 years also fall short of past building levels. Queensland requires 471,000 new dwellings
over the next 10 years, compared with a build over the past decade of 351,000.

Property Management
The value of an investment property can be improved through professional management in the following ways:-

⇒        By keeping vacancies to a minimum
⇒        By maximising rental income
⇒        By ensuring that the property is maintained in good condition

Securing a good tenant is vital to ensuring that these aims are met. A properly qualified property manager will ensure that all prospective tenants are carefully
vetted through the use of a comprehensive application process which includes the checking of tenancy default databases. Good property managers are well
informed with regard to market conditions and should ensure that the maximum rental is achieved whilst keeping vacancy rates to a minimum. Regular
inspections should also be carried out by the property manager with a full report provided to the owner regarding the condition of the property.
Preventative maintenance should be carried out to ensure that minor issues do not lead to major expenditure through neglect. Good property managers will
arrange for maintenance to be carried out by qualified and licensed tradespeople.

The government has imposed strict legislation to govern the rights of tenants, property owners and property managers through the Residential Tenancies Act.
Strict penalties can apply for breaches of the Act. A good property manager should be fully trained and licensed and will ensure compliance with Act at all times
in order to protect the interests of the property owner.

Risk Mitigation
  Property investment, like all investments, is subject to risk that could have adverse impact on its performance. Some of these risks may be beyond the
  control of any agent, advisor, investor or any other person. This information is provided as general advice and may be given without taking account of the
  investor's specific objectives, financial situation or needs.
  Prudent investing requires that risks should be reduced or managed in an appropriate and careful manner. The following information highlights some of
  the risks that investors should consider.

  Property Value Movement
  Property Value Movement relates to a property failing to achieve growth expectations or declining in value. Investors should note that properties in all
  Australian regions have gone through rise and fall cycles. These follow a cycle generally known as the property cycle. The movement in the value of this
  property is, therefore, subject to this cycle. Investors should regard property investment as a long term investment and generally seek to hold the
  investment property for as long as possible.

  Market Conditions
  The performance of any property will be influenced by the general condition of the Australian economy and its finance and property markets. These
  markets are cyclical in nature and therefore subject to change. Market risk can be managed by taking a long term view of investments and ensuring that
  appropriate measures are taken to manage cash flow throughout the cycles.

  Tenancy Demand
  Tenancy Demand relates to the risk of the property failing to attract tenants at the rental rate factored into the income related benefits of the property.
  The best way to minimise this risk is to have a good property management agent, set rental at realistic or “market” rates, and purchase in an area with
  strong employment.

  National and Global Events and Other Disasters
  Wars, terrorism, civil insurrections and other major unforseen events are generally beyond our control. Sometimes these events occur in other parts of the
  world, but have knock-on economic effects. This can result in higher capital growth or income from an asset than anticipated, but at other times they may
  cause a loss of market confidence and depreciation in value or rental.

                                                                                                            © Sold on Property Pty Ltd. All Rights Reserved.   |   Page 23 of 26
Fortunately, Australia is politically stable. Our main natural disasters are cyclones, bush fires and floods. Risks can be mitigated by purchasing in areas
not historically prone to disasters and ensuring that adequate insurance cover is arranged.

Legislation
Australian taxation legislation currently allows investors to claim most of the expenses associated with owning an investment property. However, it is
important that this is done correctly to avoid any penalties and maximise claims. A qualified accountant and registered taxation agent who have a
thorough understanding of property investment should be engaged.

Government
Value-determining policies, such as zonings and the location of infrastructure such as roads, schools and shopping centres, may be made and changed by
the various levels of government or affected by some other government or semi-government department or authority. You can mitigate these risks to a
certain extent through the conduct of various searches that can be done by your conveyancer or solicitor to determine whether there are any plans for
these developments or changes in zonings.

Development
This risk applies to properties purchased before completion. Throughout such projects, the developer may arrange finance facilities related to the land
acquisition and development of the project. Unforeseen circumstances may arise where successful completion of the development may not be possible
upon the terms outlined in their forecasts. This may prevent the successful completion of the project. Purchasers could lose part or all of their deposit.
The best way to minimise this risk is to ask your solicitor to ensure that your deposit is held in trust (not to be released to the developer) until land
settlement.

Warranty
Faults in construction could result in warranty claims. These risks are managed by the statutory home warranty insurance taken out by the builder. The
builder’s licensing authority imposes certain timeframes for the rectification of any defects and the builder is required to provide a minimum warranty
although some builders exceed this minimum. To ensure that all defects are identified and rectified within the specified time frames it is recommended that
an independent building inspector be used to provide a full report.
However, should the builder become insolvent, struck off or suspended, the builder could be unable to honour this warranty. The relevant state builder’s
licensing authority insurance arrange for another builder to make good any deficiencies.

Tenant
Tenant risks relate to three things:-

⇒         The availability of tenants

⇒         The financial reliability of tenants

⇒          Care for the property by tenants

A property manager will usually check professional default databases and obtain references of a prospective tenant before letting the property. Access to
these databases is only available to registered agencies and therefore care should be taken in appointing a licensed property management agent. The
property manager should also carry out regular inspections throughout the term of the lease and provide a written report detailing the condition of the
property. Investors are also advised to take out appropriate insurances, in particular, Landlord’s Insurance.

Personal
Investment strategies often depend upon the income of the investor. This is particularly relevant whenever the investment is negatively geared.

Such risk may be managed by taking out appropriate insurances. Such insurances include:

⇒         Life insurance

⇒         Trauma insurance

⇒         Income insurance

                                                                                                     © Sold on Property Pty Ltd. All Rights Reserved.   |   Page 25 of 26
Depreciation & Capital Gains Tax

Australian Taxation Legislation allows investors to claim the depreciation in value of an investment property through a building allowance and
depreciation based on the effective life of certain components within the property such as floor coverings, window coverings, appliances etc.
Depreciation claims can assist an investor with the cost of holding an investment property. A qualified quantity surveyor should be used to produce a
depreciation schedule which sets out the maximum amount that can be claimed to offset taxable income.

Valuation Report
A valuation is an assessment of the market value of a property from a lender/banks point of view. A valuation for mortgage purposes is very different to a
market price valuation and it gives the lender/bank an estimate of the market price for the property.

Note:

⇒ Appraisal and valuation figures relate to the date on which they were set.
⇒ A valuation for mortgage purposes often has variations of up to 10% compared to a market price valuation. This is standard practice and is expected
    and normal for lending purposes. This is due to the essentially subjective nature of parts of the valuation and appraisal processes.
