To stay with the majority, your structures are irrelevant in a family court situation, everything you own or is under your control goes into the pot for consideration/distribution.

Another vote for Scott!

48 hour clause My understanding of this clause is that it must be in as a condition of the O & A at time of acceptance and cannot just be added on later at the whim of the vendor. I also understand that it is generally 48 hours in lieu of 24. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct...

You can always ring the Baliff's office on the morning of the auction to check if it is still going ahead. I have seen a couple of bargains in the past 6 months.

Funny isn't it - I wouldn't use anything except a Brother printer, for me they seem to be the only brand that is reliable. For refills we use inkstation.com.au - they were the cheapest I could find and overnight delivery.

Don't know of a bulk billing practice in Perth - we currently pay $35 and the practice bills Medicare for the rest.

Have been to many baliff auctions in Perth and all the relevant facts are made clear to everyone and it is also disclosed in the Contract of Sale. The issue of not being able to inspection prior to sale date is a pain, but I guess you have to work with the system and not against.

Wholeheartedly agree. If you are asking such basic questions such as this about the bond and how to take over the management, I would leave it with the agent for now but only renew the management agreement for a further 6 months. In that time learn as much as you can from this forum, the...

First call would be to the local authority to ascertain their intentions, should the property with NCR be sold, ie would the NCR follow the property and for what period of time, or would it expire when the present owners sell. Could save a lot of time. Should it be favourable to you, the...

Just got back from RPH - family drama, but all OK now. Hopefully next time

That particular case was Mark Harvey who was the coach of the Fremantle Dockers at that time. I vaguely remember that Harvey was aware of the issue which was a brick BBQ built up against the pool fence. The agents had mentioned to Harvey several times that is was not safe as children could...

Is that right, the purchaser cannot claim penalty interest. Over in the wild west there is a period of grace of 3 days and should settlement be delayed any longer, either party can claim penalty interest from the other. Off the top of my head, I can't remember the interest rate used to...
