Location & Lifestyle
MATCHAM
Matcham is a semi-rural suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the Central Coast Council Local Government area. It has a public hall, an historic church and both private and public schools are nearby. Erina Fair Shopping Centre and the beaches of Terrigal and Wamberal are a short drive away.
Properties are mostly 2.5 acres but there are some 5 and 10 acre properties. Whether you are after peace and privacy, a beautiful outlook, plenty of open space for children to run free, or room for vegetable gardens or horses, there is a property for everyone.
It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful rural setting, with a tight knit community, is so close to everything. Gosford train station, the M1 Motorway and Sydney are all within reach.
Origin of the name Matcham & history of the suburb
The Matcham Estate was a grant of 2,560 acres to Charles Horatio Nelson Matcham, a nephew of Lord Horatio Nelson. Charles came to Sydney in 1828 and was promised the land as a primary grant and authorised to take possession from the 18 October 1831. The deed is registered in book 59/129 and is dated 1 January 1840. The estate passed to his nephew and then through various hands without any development until 1907, when George Matcham sold to Frank L Measures of Niagara Park. Between 1907 and 1910 Mr Measures subdivided the estate into various portions, one of them eventually becoming the suburb of nearby Holgate. The properties were mostly comprised of citrus orchards and bean farms in the early days, attested by the remaining fruit trees and beautiful gardens in the area today.

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 a sale but do not 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 filling in the contract for signing.
- The actual purchase price you will be paying for the property.
- The method by which you choose to pay the 10% deposit. eg. EFT, Cheque, bond or 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.
- Any special conditions or requests that you may have so that we can inform the vendor (property owner).
Find out if the property has a deadline on it, such as auction or other offers from interested parties.
Before you purchase any property – in particular a new home – it is important that you receive a copy of a Pest and Building Report from a qualified inspector. 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 is known as a capital improvement.
A pre-approval of finance from your bank or lending institution needs to be in place before safely proceeding with your property 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.
Once agreement on price, settlement, conditions, etc 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 have 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 that you may have.
