Property Matters, September Newsletter

 

Welcome to the September edition of Property Matters.

In this issue we look at why borrowers are turning away from the big four banks in favour of smaller lenders with more competitive rates.

We also look at the upcoming introduction of Extreme Level Water Restrictions in Bathurst. From the 14th of October, property owners and their tenants will be unable to water their lawns and will be restricted in the days, times and manner in which they can water their gardens.

We also highlight the Bathurst Breast Cancer Creperie Fundraising Event we held last week in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, raising over $1200 for this wonderful cause.

We hope you enjoy this edition!

With great joy, we are proud to announce that the Bathurst Breast Cancer Creperie Fundraising Event was a tremendous success.
The support from local businesses, including Megan from Dejorja Boutique who styled the café and donated all the cakes and slices, Bernard’s Bakery, 58 George Signs, Blaney Wholesale Foods and Bernardi’s Marketplace made the day possible and showed the spirit of our local community come together. As cancer is so prominent in today’s society, we are all affected with some type of cancer, whether through friends or family. Thus, International Breast Cancer Awareness Month provides the perfect opportunity to give back.
The team at Raine and Horne Bathurst stepped up and everyone pitched in. Chris Hagney flipped crepes, Tara Hill managed the decorations table, while Greg Westman strolled Bathurst’s streets to get feet in the door.
This day could not have been possible without everyone’s help. It was an absolute showcase of the strength of Raine and Horne Bathurst’s culture and strength of the organisation.
Together, we raised over $1200 for Breast Cancer Research, and everyone agreed that the success achieved has set the stage for an annual event.
