When looking at Motorhomes remember the children will be seated in the very back away from the drivers cabin. You will really need to look into the various plans of the motorhomes to find the carseat location points. YOu will also find that if there is a bed above the drivers cabin it probably...

Hi Ermen Basically yes, you speak with the Agent and let them know you wish to make an offer prior to auction. This can sometimes work to your advantage and other times not. It really depends on the vendors situation and instructions. If it is only a week prior to auction the chances of...

Congratulations JustaLearner Utilities - I usually make the arrangement 2 weeks prior to settlement for name changes to take effect on settlement day. Insurance - I would organise the cover as soon as possible. I am sure that your bank will require proof of insurance as one of the...

Hi Boatboy Have you investigated what is required by a foreign invester eg: brand new development ? You may find it is not as straight forward as you think..... Carumble

Jen D For carpet try Simon's on Nepean Hwy - Bentleigh. They buy the carpet by the roll, have a good selection and easy to deal with. Cheers Carumble:)

Aww, have you been and looked at the Polyprop carpet.....its like walking on sandpaper. I know its hard wearing and all that but really the range of colours and the texture under foot is really ordinary to say the least. Like anything you need to look at the quality of tenant you are trying...

Angela We had a house restumped around Christmas time and the cost was $5,500 - 3 bedroom house. Carumble:)

Hi Hrb123 I know Lower Plenty very well and it really depends on which part the property is located in. If you are near or close to Bonds Rd or Rosehill Rd I am sure that if you decided to rebuild you wouldn't be over capitalising. Some of the house around there are in the millions. So...

Jen D Rather than your standard dishwasher why not look at one of the the draw types. That way you can still have a draw underneath the dishwasher and wont lose to much cupboard space. You may need to rethink you kitchen layout. I know you can buy a single draw unit. Just a thought...

Hi Guys "Round Up" works a treat. Once the ivy has died it is really easy to remove. Carumble

Gss We had a similar experience a last year. Blocked toilet. PM told us tree roots in the pipes. This made no sense at no large trees near the property. Spoke with the plumber who confirmed it was items of a personal nature had been place down the toilet. We went back to the agent with...

Gss What is the situation? Perhaps with some details we can give advice. In the mean time - have receipts, photos, records of contact - (It really depends on why you are off to the tribunal). Carumble

BBarnes is correct. If you live on a corner or back onto park land the home owner bares the full cost of replacing the fence. Carumble
