Coast couple battle housing affordability head on

A new website is set to change the face of Australia’s property sector and give everyday people the chance to secure a slice of the market.

Business duo and Sunshine Coast husband and wife team, Roger and Beatrice, have gone one step further in a bid to answer the housing affordability issue.

Property Partner Solutions is rocketing Australia head first into the new global trend of property co-ownership.

PropertyPartner.com.au is a comprehensive website enabling hopeful investors to form suitable co-ownership links in a bid to purchase property at a more realistic expenditure level.

“Our aim is simple and that is to provide people with an opportunity to connect, join forces and share the increasingly less affordable cost of property,’’ Beatrice, who is the face of the company, said.

“Falling interest rates, high rents and government incentives like the first home owner grant amount to the perfect time to make the most of this market. Our vision is to give people the chance to buy into the market and to shift the co-ownership mindset to a smart form of investment.’’

Signing up to the website is free, giving people the chance to link up with hopeful buyers from right around the country and overseas.

The site features an internal messaging system to protect consumers’ personal details and also gives members the chance to create a shortlist of potential partners.

“We are aware that people are hesitant when it comes to co-ownership agreements but it is vital to dispel these myths,’’ Beatrice said.

“Legal co-ownership agreements are becoming more popular and they cover people thoroughly. Our business encourages people to seek independent legal advice before entering into a relationship. The website includes hints, tips and a comprehensive question and answer section.

“This is an ongoing project and we would like to see other industry professionals, such as real estate agents, using the site as a working tool.’’

Roger and Beatrice have a strong interest in property, renovation and business.

Roger is a carpenter by trade while Beatrice also owns a graphic design business.

“We believe that this nation is property-savvy and Australians seem to intuitively understand and take an interest in property,’’ Beatrice said.

“I personally feel assured that our financial future, and the future of our children, is taken care of because of our property investments.

“We wanted to add to our property portfolio without stretching ourselves financially beyond our comfort zone. Co-ownership seemed like the perfect solution for our next investment as we both strongly believe in never mixing business with pleasure and involving family, friends or colleagues into the deal was out of the question.

“That’s when we realised that, in these changing times a co-ownership matching service would be a useful - or perhaps essential - tool, for those wanting to get onto the property ladder for the first time, or simply wishing to build upon their existing investments.’’
