    OTP buying - Fortitude Valley -2016 completion

    Hi Poe, I also talked with one of Ironfish rep before (around two years ago). She pushed me into buying one bedroom unit in Sydney and even to the extent that she wanted me to borrow money for deposit from my dad (I did not have enough deposit at that time since I already purchased a unit)...

    Locksmith in Hornsby

    Thank you Dave. I contacted him yesterday but he said he could only service Hills area since he's already semi-retired. I already compare quotes from several locksmiths in local and nearby area and found a good price with Empire locksmiths in North Ryde. I think I will try to use them. Thank you...

    Carlingford vs Hornsby

    HI virgo, The asking price is $640k and we offered them 662k. This is because previous sale with similar 3 bedroom townhouse sold for $675k, so we are thinking that the agent must be targeting price around 660k... Thank you, virgo, can't wait to settle and explore the area :)

    Carlingford vs Hornsby

    Hi Neil, Wow I was surprised to hear that 45 couples went through the first open house. There were many people coming but I did not expect 45 couples. Yes, she's really keen to put the sold sign up even before the cooling off period ends. I don't know for what reasons... There is another 3...

    Carlingford vs Hornsby

    @jacque: Thank you, Jacque. Yes it is such a relief to find a house after going around Carlingford, Baulkham Hills, Epping, Eastwood, Artarmon and other places. I think I know most of the major streets in Sydney north and northwest area now ;) What I observed was the housing market in these...

    Carlingford vs Hornsby

    I agree with virgo comments. I think Hornsby is the winner all the way. We have been looking around Carlingford too before. But we ended up buying in Hornsby now. Hornsby has a nice and big Westfield and served by frequent train service, including express train to Central (only takes you around...

    loans.com.au ?

    So, I believe it is a redraw account and not offset account since the term said that you reborrow money. From what I know, offset account is fully transactional, i.e. no limitation on the amount you want to withdraw as long as you have that amount in your offset account. I may be wrong though...

    North Rocks road at North Rocks: is it good or bad PPOR ?

    Hi jacque, Yes, it is a wide area but we are basically checking out suburbs around lower north shore and upper north shore that have train station. So far, it's okay. We actually almost offer one house at Baulkham Hills but after few considerations we pull out from there due to issue with...

    North Rocks road at North Rocks: is it good or bad PPOR ?

    Hi Aries, Sorry I missed your message and haven't replied until now. I did not put the offer for the house in North Rocks since they have some issues. Then, we decided that it would be difficult (transport wise) to travel to city from there using public transport. At the moment we are looking...

    Hi matto, Thanks for your comments. The house would be for my PPOR so I guees the market is for young couple ( is this what you mean ?) I do not have experience in renovating so I guess much of the work would be done by the plumber/tiler/builder. Couple of thousand dollars are not...

    Hi All, I have found a house I would like to buy. However, me and my gf think that the bathroom need to be renovated since it is an old bathroom (house has been built since 1975). The thing we want to change is the tiles, bathroom vanity, and shower screen. The bathroom size is around 2.5 x...
