A message from the editor February 2005 RETURN
We trust everyone enjoyed the festive season and is refreshed for a big year ahead. There is a distinct need to keep abreast with property trends and for your consideration we have briefly touched on some very important property issues. With land tax thresholds, different formulas to assess capital gains tax and PAYE deductions, having efficient ownership is now more complex than ever. We remind every one that the buyer is back in droves and both the investor and 1st home buyer have been jolted out of a 6 month slumber, they should create a price upswing with-in 10 kms of the CBD. We road test the new property laws in 2 areas of legislation. As usual we put our heads on the block with some market analysis and prediction. This is not what we would call a nice easy start to the year, rather a full on frenzy. We wish you well in your property dealings. Jason Marston
