A Niche Home Is A Quality Home

Whether this is home #1, an investment for your portfolio, or your empty nest, The Niche is an opportunity to own a complete brand new home or investment property!

Created by award-winning architects, Overman & Zuideveld, and a team of designers, builders and landscapers, Niche properties are unique with a variety of modern designs, confgurations and colour schemes. Designed and built to the highest standards, quality is never compromised. Instead, medium-density estates are designed to maximise living space—inside and out. We understand the need to enjoy private and public open spaces and have cleverly integrated these into each Niche community.

The Niche estates offer a greater level of security through clever design with the orientation of the homes providing greater surveillance. Niche homes also incorporate energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable design features.

Niche homes are individually-designed to best utilise each lot to its full potential.

Fully furnished, a Niche home includes carpets, blinds, water-wise landscaping, fencing, reticulation, quality kitchen appliances, smoke detectors and more.

Purchasing a Niche home is stress-free. A team of professionals have already done the research. They’ve chosen the right locations, planned the architectural and interior design and negotiated with the builders. This saves you valuable time and provides you with great value for money.

Location, Location, Location

When you spot a Niche estate, you can be sure that it’s the result of strict procedures set in place by our team of industry experts. The team invests considerable research, and takes into account strict selection criteria to identify the best all-round areas for homeowners to live and with the additional potential to generate wealth for them in the future.

You’ll find Niche estates in established suburbs with highly-developed infrastructure such as shops, schools, public transport, hospitals, medical centres and recreational facilities. We search out pockets of land surrounded by a complete range of amenities and, while continuing to satisfy our criteria of affordability, Niche’s contemporary, stylish developments are highly desirable for owners and tenants alike. Not only do Niche estates enjoy appreciation in prices, they also drive them upwards as they bring added vibrancy and life into these established areas.

This contrasts with the abundance of new subdivisions usually found in close proximity of one another on the outskirts of the metropolitan area. While the remoteness of these estates can make them somewhat affordable, it can be years or decades before the infrastructure is established to support these areas. This also restricts capital growth in these areas due to an oversupply of properties available or to be released in future. It is a policy of Niche that their developments are placed in areas that are convenient for living but offer high demand from an investment viewpoint.

From $299,000 The Niche = Exceptional Value

Niche homes are total house and land packages, with prices starting from just $299,000. This makes The Niche Perth’s most affordable new house and land package. Prices are complete: no hidden fees, site costs, finishes or costs that may inflate the advertised price.

The Niche presents even better value if you’re buying your first home. While savings on stamp duty are applicable to all buyers of Niche estates, eligible first home buyers will pay no stamp duty at all. First homebuyers may also be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant.

We’ve also negotiated special deals for the services required by home buyers or investors: a special flat rate of $590 when you settle your Niche property through Vicki Philipoff Settlements.

We’ve thought of everything that can deliver exceptional value as you acquire your own Niche property. For the first homebuyer or the investor, the Niche delivers unrivalled value in the short- and long-term.

A Niche Home Is An Appreciating Home

The indicators are starting to immerge for a potential super boom stimulating the Western Australian property market. There is great potential for the WA resources projects to significantly increase demand on housing in WA, causing a frightening land supply shortage. Furthermore, with “restricted” financing for new projects for developers we could experience another land supply crisis.

With all of the above, high rates of migration, housing shortages and low vacancy rates; it’s a great time to enjoy the WA property market.

The difficulty has been affordability with the opportunity to enter the market declining.

The Niche is a rare exception and represents an affordable, low cost investment delivering exceptionally high rental yield, located in some of Perth’s highest performing suburbs.

Therefore, all the fundamentals are now ideal for property investment.

We’ve worked hard to identify locations for the Niche with historically healthy capital growth and great potential for growth in the future. Furthermore, as Niche properties are new homes, they offer strong tax depreciation. Strict design guidelines and strata management ensures that your investment retains its sparkle in the long-term and its value continues to appreciate.

All the ingredients are here: a strong new product in a strong area surrounded by quality infrastructure with high rent yields at an affordable price.

Breathakingly Affordable!

Priced from $299,000, we believe The Niche is the best value residential product on offer in the metropolitan area. Plain and simple.

Our ability to offer homes with outstanding affordability is fuelled by a strategy of developing ‘infill areas’. These are large holdings of land in well-established areas that are both economical and close to the CBD, in most cases usually one property that is being converted into the Niche estates.

Having acquired the land, we employ cost-efficient design practices. Through standardising some of the elements in Niche homes (the kitchen layout for example), we reduce the cost of construction while still preserving individuality with a diversity of external designs.

Strong Design Guidelines Make The Niche Look Great

It’s not hard to spot a Niche estate—they look great from the start and they’ll look great down the track.

We’ve developed strategies to maintain the quality and appearance of our estates to ensure that the highest resale values and rental returns are enjoyed. Our estates are managed by an award-winning strata management company, who takes care of all common areas and external gardens at very competitive fees and costs—equivalent to any home ownership.

Aesthetics are important to a Niche development—it’s one of the reasons we’re so good looking. We work hard to keep it that way. So you can be sure that your neighbour will have a good looking home as well with all external elevations and colours carefully selected by our architects, Overman & Zuideveld.

When you spot a Niche estate, you can be sure that it’s the result of experience and systems set in place by our team of industry experts.

We Make It Easy To Buy A Niche Property

We’ve worked hard on all the legwork that needs to be done when you’re building or buying a home…so you don’t have to! Our aim is to make it a smooth transition into the Niche. All approvals are in place to start the home without lengthy delays, from negotiating with builders and professionally coordinating all the selections for you.

Along with the special deals we’ve negotiated for your settlement and the reduced stamp duty costs you’ll enjoy, there’s a range of other benefits to make it an easy transaction.

On the cash-flow front, we may be able to help you cover your rent through the construction period*.

Finally, when it comes to making your home look great, we provide a variety of choices for your interior design. Each has been selected by a professional team of designers and you can rest easy—it’s going to look great.

We Buy In Bulk, You Enjoy Bulk Savings

It’s a simple notion: through our large buying power and volume of developments, the Niche is able to get a much better deal from builders, so we’re able to pass on these savings to our purchasers. Build 300+ homes at across all our estates and you’ll get a whole lot better deal than if you were building one. At Niche estates, we pass those savings on to you so we can deliver an affordable product. We work hard to leverage our unique position and secure bulk discounts with suppliers and builders and competitive prices every step of the way. There’s no need to cut corners either.

Some of Perth’s most respected builders have been appointed to construct the Niche with each estate built in its entirety by one builder. This ensures the construction process is seamless. We don’t hunt the cheapest price alone, but the ability of the supplier to deliver fine quality on a large scale within a specified time frame.

When you’re awarding a contract as large as this, it’s not surprising to discover that it brings out some of the best in the business and some not-so-good alternatives as well. You can be sure that our team of highly experienced project managers has negotiated the best outcome for you.
