History

Originally granted to the Waratah Coal Company, the area was the

site of the company's first shaft, sunk in 1873. Officially called South

Waratah, the pit was variously known as Charles' Pit, Raspberry Gully

or The Gully Pit. These names all applied to Charlestown in its early

days and the surviving name seems to have been derived from that of

Charles Smith, the company's manager. The first settlers were miners

from the pit.

The company had the area surveyed on 29 April 1876; the first

subdivision later became Ida Street, Pearson Street, Milson Street

and Frederick Streets. Harry Wright bought the first lot when it was

auctioned later in 1876.

The town had its first water main in 1927 and was connected to civic

sewage in 1959.

Today

The suburb is home to 12,411 as per 2011 Census with 3536 families

with 1.8 average children and 5326 private dwellings and with 74% of

the homes being owner occupied.

On average over 180 houses change hands each year.

Charlestown is home to the largest

shopping complexes in the region,

Charlestown Square, which is

located just off the Pacific Highway.

Floor Plan / Site Plan

DISCLAIMER: The above information has been obtained by this real estate office from other parties.

Whilst it is believed that details are correct, no responsibility for accuracy is accepted by this agency and

property owners. All interested parties must rely on their own enquiries and research.

Purchasing Steps 6 STEPS TO BUYING A HOUSE

Purchasing residential real estate can be a very exciting

process, however it can also be a confusing time for the

prospective buyer. As you may already be aware, different

agencies usually have different sets of rules and standards, so we

would like to inform you of the general buying process.

Property owners receive all types of interest - some genuine,

some not. Some people submit offers to test the possibility of sale,

but do not actually stay true with their offer.

This can lead to frustration and concern for the owners as they try

to assess who is actually a genuine buyer. The best way to

present a strong offer on any property is to follow the steps below

that allow you to understand what is required in preparation.

Allowing you to put forward your strongest purchasing proposition

to the agent. All offers must be presented to the owner in writing

and all purchase details correct for filing in the contract for signing.

STEP 1 AGENT DETAILS

PROVIDE AGENT WITH YOUR FULL DETAILS SUCH AS:

The actual purchase price you will be paying for the

property.

The method by which you choose to pay the 10% deposit

e.g. Cheque/bond/other.

The settlement period that you require or the vendor has

stipulated.

The name of your chosen solicitor or conveyancer.

The name of your bank or financial lending institution.

And special conditions or requests that you may have so

that we can inform the vendor (property owner).

STEP 2 TIME FRAME

CONFIRM YOUR TIME FRAME AVAILABLE TO DO ANY

INVESTIGATIONS

Find out if the property has a deadline on it, such as auction or

other offers from interested parties.

STEP 3 REPORTS

DECIDE IF YOU ARE GOING TO OBTAIN A PEST & BUILDING

REPORT

Before you purchase a property - in particular a new home - it is

important that you receive a copy of a Pest and Building Report

from qualified inspectors. Please note that this report is a

complete list of defects of the home, and is very different from the

feature brochure that you receive from our agency. Most people

are shocked with the report they receive on the home, and most

times misinterpret the report, e.g. the home is 34 years old and is

in need of new roof tiles. Roof tiles last approximately 35 years

and need replacing on every home of that age. The point to

remember here is that all homes at one time or another require

maintenance, and that this did known as capital improvement.

STEP 4 LENDER NOTIFY YOUR BANK OF YOUR PURCHASE ADDRESS &

DETAILS

A pre-approval of finance from your bank or lending institution

needs to be in place before safely proceeding with your purchase,

however many banks will approve you in principle yet may require

a valuation. Don’t be alarmed if your bank or lending institution

request a valuation by a registered property valuer. This is normal

practice of lending institutions, and serves as confirmation of the

agreed sale price. If you are intending to buy at auction, all the

above-mentioned must be in place. Auction day is final. If you turn

up to bid and you are the highest bidder past the reserve price

(on-the-market price) you are the instant owner awaiting

settlement of the property.

STEP 5 EXTRA EXPENSES DON’T FORGET TO INCLUDE STAMP DUTY FUNDS IN YOUR

FINAL NUMBERS

STEP 6 EXCHANGING MEET WITH THE AGENT AND PROVIDE ALL DETAILS FOR

SIGN OFF WITH THE OWNER

Once agreement on price, settlement, conditions, ect. has been

reached with the vendor the sale can proceed. An exchange of

contracts is the only way to actually buy or sell real estate. This is

achieved by signing the contract of sale which is then processed

by the agent with all legal parties.

IN SUMMARY

Preparation is the key. Understand the steps of sale and having

everything in place is imperative to reaching your property goals.

Whether you are considering purchasing this property or another

in the near future and in need of advice , please feel free to

contact myself or any of our team with questions you may have.

We are available to assist you.
