Downsizing doesn’t mean compromising home design or lifestyle with G.J Gardner
Posted Wednesday, 18 April 2012

Buying an affordable smaller home on a smaller block makes this possible for them. These types of properties are often a result of a subdivision.
There are various reasons why people decide…
House and land package a worthwhile investment
Posted Wednesday, 21 March 2012
When looking at investment properties, most buyers assume that an established house or apartment offer the cheapest and easiest option. On closer analysis however, when the hidden costs of extras are added in and the risks associated with older properties are factored in, the picture changes for investors.
Often, house and land packages are compared to owner-occupied homes where the home has been built and then a range of extras are added to suit the owner’s lifestyle. With…

New home floor plans for space and flexibility
Posted Monday, 23 January 2012
When your dream of building a new home starts to take shape, it’s usually the floor plan that is scribbled onto a piece of paper first. Those small boxes will end up being a place where you will need all the space and flexibility to accommodate your life as it evolves.

A house’s façade is an impression that lasts
Posted Monday, 9 January 2012
Whether it’s a sprawling family home or an entertainer’s beachside retreat, the façade of the home is the essence of a property. It tells a story of what lies behind the front door and it adds not only street appeal but immeasurable value to the resale of the home.
At G.J. Gardner we realise this and that is why a lot of planning goes into the design of the home’s front exterior. Working closely with architects who have their fingers on the pulse, we understand…
