5 INTRODUCING SEN WANG CHINA DESK Currently based in Sydney, Sen heads up Ray White s China Desk. In this role he coordinates the promotion of Australian and New Zealand property to Chinese buyers with a focus on introducing new buyers to the market. Sen connects Ray White with Asia; he provides specialist marketing options including translating and distributing marketing material as well as organising presentations, trade shows and display suites With a strong interest in the real estate industry, Sen did his Master degree in Melbourne University and he received his Agent Representative Certificate through REIV. Sen joined Ray White in April Brisbane City, Queensland Australia Sen is originally from Hebei province in China, hometown name: Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei Province. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and English, and is current studying Cantonese. Sen enjoys the opportunity the property industry presents to broaden his networks and work hard. Sen believes that the major difference between the Australian and Chinese markets are the government policies especially when it comes to purchasers and property owners. In 10 years from now Sen would like to be involved with more overseas investors in order add value to the Ray White network. If Sen was to buy a property anywhere, regardless of budget it would be in Sydney s inner west in a suburb called Roseville which is in a good school catchment, close to Chatswood. In his spare time he plays basketball and Soccer. He also enjoys spending time with his family visiting Sydney s hidden spots. If Sen had to relocate he feels he would miss the outstanding environmental condition and friendly Aussie, also the best lamb cutlet and steak. 9

6 INTRODUCING MARCUS NG HEAD OF RAY WHITE BEIJING company from China based in Brisbane. From there, I generated some very valuable knowledge in properties. My plan now is to provide more opportunities for Chinese investors to invest in the Australian property market. Property market in China is very different to the Australian property market. There are less foreign involvement in the China market especially for residential. Also, all properties in China are lease hold. The prices are more volatile and are more sensitive to the Government policy. I was born in Hong Kong I speak Cantonese, English and Mandarin It has always been my ambition to facilitate investment activities between China my home country ) to overseas. This has been reflected in all the pass roles of my prior careers. Before I join Ray White, I used to be in charge of a property development 10 Melbourne City, Victoria Australia I do miss Australia although I still keep my apartment, car and most of my investment there. Luckily enough, for work reason, I do need to travel back to Australia once every two months and so I still call Australia. as well as China of course, my home. Ray White as a brand, is still very young in China. It requires lots of resources and effort to make it more known to the public in China. However, we now have some very strong partners ( namely CCPIT ) to be working with us and I think, with a bit of luck, Ray White shall have a good number of offices throughout the major cities in China and it it my wish to make it a household name when it comes to investing in Australian properties. If I am going to buy a property, I will definitely be looking at Australia. It has a very developed legal systems where all ownership are well protected. It also has a free financial systems where money can come and leave the country easily. Also, not like some places ( for example Hong Kong and London )where to prices has already gone up a lot and I suppose the room for further growth will be very limited. I especially like buying off-the-plan apartments. It allows a minimal deposit ( usually 10% for Australia properties )for the potential of growth in the property value for a period of time ( usually 1 to 3 years ). Also, new properties are more welcomed by tenants and therefore easier to rent out and the rental usually are higher than those of second hands. I enjoy drinking with friends, fishing and golfing in my free time. 11

7 USING FINANCE TO BUY AUSTRALIAN PROPERTY Understanding the financial options and mortgage products available is a critical element in the investment process for foreign buyers in Australia. Loan Market chairman, Sam White, explains that there s some major differences between mortgage products in Australia and China. One of the biggest disparities is in the term of the loan. Mortgage terms in China are often shorter and can span five to ten years. In Australia, the life of our home loans are usually years, he said. There are also some additional benefits to Australian finance that aren t seen in China. Mortgage products in Australia can include features such as offset accounts, which reduces the interest payments and ultimately saves you money, Mr White added. Chinese property website, Juwai. com recently reported that 40 per cent of foreign Chinese buyers borrow finance to buy property and that overseas Chinese buyers who do use finance in Australia tend to be more conservative compared to Australian domestic buyers. 12 Sydney City, New South Wales Australia Although Chinese buyers may not necessarily need to take out a home loan, the benefit of borrowing finance from a lender to fund your investment property in Australia is that it allows you to leverage that equity to buy more properties, Mr White said. There are a lot of options to consider when looking at Australian mortgage products. Mortgage broker, Tony Lam is an expert in foreign investment. He shared his insights into finding the right mortgage product for overseas buyers. The role of a mortgage broker is to find the right product for buyers and brings together the borrower and lender. We have access to a large network of lenders that we deal with regularly and we match Chinese buyer s needs with the right loan, Tony said. We also provide an interpretation service to make sure our clients understand the process of their applications, he said. When preparing to apply for finance in Australia, the most important things Chinese buyers need to prepare are identification and proof of income status. Australian lenders have different lending policy for overseas investors, so providing sufficient identification is crucial when looking for finance in Australia. Australian lenders will approve the mortgage application based on an applicant s ongoing income, so the income evidence is equally important. Chinese buyers also need to disclose their asset and liability for their financial assessment, Tony explains. Tony said the most challenging thing for his Chinese clients is the application process. We provide our Chinese clients with a variety of products to choose from and we recommend them the most suitable products based on their situation. 13

8 MARKET OVERVIEW AUSTRALIA ASIAN PROPERTY INVESTMENT INTO AUSTRALIA Over the last two years Asian capital inflows into Australia for major property purchases has totalled US$16.17 billion representing over 370 transactions across all asset classes. Of these, 156 transactions as been by Singaporean investors who are particularly active in the office and hotel asset classes, while China has also been a dominate player in Australian property purchasing over US$5.51 billion. Looking alone at development investment stock there has been close to US$3 billion transacted over the past two years; of this Chinese investors have dominated representing more than half of the total turnover across 48 transactions across Australia. Over the last two years, Asian investment into Australia has been strong. The safe haven of Australia has been particularly attractive given the stability of the economy, low interest rate environment, strong banking sector and in the last eighteen months improving currency position for investment. Interest has been across all asset classes with investors keen to secure a combination of trophy office assets in major cities, hotel assets, quality retail offerings, prestige and residential development opportunities as well as rural holdings.

9 AUSTRALIAN ECONOMIC UPDATE While GDP has seen improvement during 2014 this is still trending below longer term growth projections, the outlook for 2015 is not as strong; yet post this period over 3% growth expection will bring greater certainty back to the economy. The weak national income growth is resultant of output running a little below trend as resources related construction has reduced coupled with the falling commodity prices. Overall the lacklustre state of the economy has resulted in wage gains at record lows and the falling Australian dollar adds further pricing pressure, however positively is the pick up across the residential markets which has resulted in an increase in housing construction. This has an uplifting affect in NSW during 2014 and is likely to continue albeit not at the same rate, while Queensland is expected to show robus recovery in 2016 and beyond off the back of major investment in several gas infrastructure projects. TOTAL UNEMPLOYMENT AUSTRALIA V EAST COAST STATES Despite the increases in unemployment, job gains have lifted; the unemployment growth is due to the mismatch between the slowdown in population growth coupled with the acceleration of baby boomer retirement. Unemployment is more to do with worker supply which currently sees fewer migrants and more retirees rather than pure demand strength because employers are hiring. It is expected unemployment will continue to grow and will peak during 2015 which will do much to further hamper business confidence together with the squeeze on Australia s income Economic growth, Australia v East Coast States % annual change Total Unemployment, Australia v East Coast States Forecast Source: Deloitte Access Economics GDP NSW Overall the state of GDP for Australia sees continued growth of 2.80% per annum over the next five years which is a far more favourable result compared to the past five years where only 2.67% growth was recorded. NSW has a reasonably strong outlook given its non reliance on commodities and mining, it welcomes reduced fuel costs and drives sentiment up and employment demand. Similarly population growth has mirrored this improved confidence and is fuelling a recovery after a dismal post GFC period for NSW. 0.0 J an-1990 J an-1991 J an-1992 J an-1993 J an-1994 J an-1995 J an-1996 J an-1997 J an-1998 J an-1999 J an-2000 J an-2001 J an-2002 J an-2003 J an-2004 J an-2005 J an-2006 J an-2007 J an-2008 J an-2009 J an-2010 J an-2011 J an-2012 J an-2013 J an-2014 J an-2015 Australia NSW Qld Vic Source: Reserve Bank of Australia NSW is expected to lead the charge with unemployment off the back of improvements in the property, business, finance sectors and with retail trade the highest of all states, will ensure continued job creation growth

10 EAST COAST COMMERCIAL UPDATE Investment activity was high across the major office markets during 2014 with a combination of domestic and off shore investors looking to invest within the safe haven of Australian CBD office markets. Sydney and Melbourne are the key locations of choice given their reputation as the economic hubs of Australia as well as being the largest office markets in the country. Sydney CBD has been under much pressure over the past few years given the large supply pipeline and inflated vacancy levels due to limited rental demand driving incentives to new highs. However improved employment demand and withdrawal of stock has reduced these vacancy rates and put considerable pressure on investment yields which have shown downward momentum over the last couple years to now average in the 6.25% to 7.25% range for prime assets. Melbourne CBD vacancy levels have been elevated over the last two years after a prolonged low which has ensure incentives have remained in check, as a result the investment yields have been reducing continuously since 2009 to now average at a similar rate to Sydney in the 6.00% to 7.00% range for prime assets, with some evidence below this rate for quality assets with strong lease covenants. Brisbane and Perth CBD s have been under greater stress over the past two years given the changes in demand in the mining, agriculture and supporting business sectors. Vacancy levels are at record highs in Brisbane CBD at 15.6% resulting in incentive levels reportedly up to 50% with face rents showing some decline. This has had a stabilising effect on investment yields in contrast to the other eastern states averaging around 7.50% for prime assets however ranging up to 8.25%. Perth CBD is also hampered by high vacancies and incentives as demand has stalled within a strong supply cycle, this has resulting in similar yields trends, remaining steady currently averaging just over 8.00% for prime assets. The Canberra office market has been in a prolonged period of uncertainty after strong increases in supply across the region has resulted in large increases in vacancies. Changes in government, movement of government departments and an overall decline in public administration employment has ensured this market has been in a state of turmoil for some time. Encouragingly, improved employment fundamentals have seen vacancy and rental activity within Canberra Civic (CBD) improve despite poor submarket (Non Civic) performance. Current yields have yet to translate with some compression however overall showing stability since 2010 and currently averaging 8.00% for prime assets within a broad range dependant on lease covenant and quality. Each major city is showing differing office market results depending much on state economy and how that translates to employment and sentiment. Despite this, investment activity is common across each market with yields reflecting the differing levels of risk and uncertainty. It is expected this level of demand to continue particularly from foreign investors particularly given the current $AUD and the low international interest rates on offer.

A team of experienced professionals offers advice from the planning through to the marketing and sales processes. Utilising the expansive Ray White network for additional sales introductions has given our team a unique advantage. PROJECT SHOWCASE The residential property market in Sydney has been particularly active over the past two years in response to the low cost of debt and improved sentiment surrounding employment. Furthermore the strong overseas influence in the property market has seen an influx of overseas investors actively pursuing assets creating a greater sense of urgency in the market for all purchaser types. The Sydney apartment market has seen capital growth of approximately 14.1% during 2014 after growing 15.1% in 2013, the expectation for 2015 is one of greater stability however given the robust growth seen so far in 2015, further increases in the 7-10% range is anticipated. Half of the project was offered as one bedroom apartments which averaged approximately 50sqm of internal area, all with balconies, parking and small storeroom facilities. These properties were hotly contested and sold out in the opening weeks achieving values an average value of $13,722/sqm. Two bedroom properties offered included apartments which range in size from 63-80sqm all including larger outdoor areas, parking and storeroom facilities; these properties sold on average for $1.16 million which represents a rate of approximately $15,000/sqm. Two bedroom townhouses have also been on offer, these properties are slightly larger in the 88-95sqm range internally and offer larger courtyard areas and parking for two vehicles, these properties currently are on the market with an asking price of between $1.5 million to $1.65 million.
