Builders in Perth, WA can now complete their projects and fulfil the dreams of aspiring home owners much quicker than ever, thanks to state reforms. Dubbed the ‘instant start initiative’, these reforms to Western Australia’s building approvals process for single residential housing projects allow registered builders to begin construction “upon lodging a certified permit application while the application was processed by local government,” as reported on Perth Now. Previously, building approvals that should only take 10 days to be issued took an average of 24 days to be processed. That meant homeowners had to spend an additional 3 weeks’ worth of rent when they could have moved into their new homes much sooner. The instant start initiative help ensure that such cases are a thing of the past.

Perth alone has 350 suburbs within its jurisdiction, and for those who want to own a house in the hustle and bustle of this populous city, then it might be quite difficult to decide which suburb is the best one for you. Perth first home buyers will have plenty of options to choose from as each location has its own fair share of benefits and advantages. Terry Ryder, founder of Hotspotting.com and a property observer, lists several Perth hotspots that show the best growth potential. In an article for Perth Now, Mr. Ryder shares how, “The City of Armadale, Belmont, Butler and Rockingham had potential as “ugly ducklings”. “Some suburbs were once shunned as downmarket but now are regarded as trendy – ugly ducklings can transform into real estate swans.” By ugly ducklings, he means suburbs which aren’t very popular but make good prospects for property investments.

Where you live affects everything about you, so it’s important to examine the type of home you’ll buy when you’ve saved up enough. Houses and condos both have their pros and cons, and first-time buyers are usually divided in this issue. Here are some factors to consider when choosing your first home:

Affordability

Condos are generally less-expensive than new homes for sale, mainly because of its smaller space. While the initial cost is cheaper, though, the limited area would be disadvantageous to bigger families.

Owning one’s first home is the realization of a dream for many, but the road towards that goal is definitely not made of yellow bricks. There are many obstacles to overcome, many factors to consider. One of the most significant decisions you’ll be making in the process is choosing what type of property to purchase. Here are three types of property that you will likely encounter on your home ownership journey:

A newly built home

Having a new home built is ideal if you have a specific design in mind or want to be more involved in the construction process. The downside is that the construction can take months, so patience will be necessary if you choose this option.

It's interesting to note that the city of Perth shares its name with four other areas, all of which are suburbs of this bustling metropolis.

North Perth

It's one of the oldest suburbs in the area, with some brick-and-mortar homes still standing the test of time. It's also an affluent neighbourhood, with most families earning above the national median, according to statistics.
