Wow, that's a lot less.

Hi everyone! Well, we are well and truely moved into our first property and loving the feeling of 'this is ours'. There are heaps of things we want to renovate and have just got our first quote. We want two internal brick walls (both measure 2.4 by 3m) gyprocked, and a hole cut into another...

I just found out I am severely lactose intolerant from a biopsy of my small intestine. I have been feeling unwell for about 10 years and the last 6 months have been really bad - lots of tummy problems, burning, gas, bloating, pain etc. I have been suffering for so long and all it took was a...

bump Surely you Adelaide investors have used a cleaning service for your IP's?? Hoping someone can give me a recommendation. I used a company in Adelaide a few years ago that I was not happy with (can't remember the name now). I want to make sure the money I spend will be worth it :)

can anyone recommend a good cleaner in Adelaide? We want to have our house cleaned before we move in. Thanks!

Thanks for all your well wishes guys!

Settlement is July 26... thanks! Rooster... compared to other properties we were looking at, we thought 265K was around the mark. We didn't want to get in a bidding war so we thought we'd offer our best and be prepared to walk if it wasn't enough. We know the agent said the owners wanted...

We have it Hey, you were right IPInvestor! We made another offer of 265K to take it off the market. The vendor came back with "just a few more thousand and it's ours." We said no way, that's our final offer and gave them a time limit of a couple of hours to give us their decision. They...

that's great advice PennyK, thank you. Just got hold of the RE and he has fwd the contract so that we can sign it and get it back to him with our offer. He said that the owner wants 260K (we have verbally offered 259K so far). We want this property. Should we write 260K on the contract...

Thanks for your advice guys. We really were set on this property as our first PPOR but I guess you live and learn. Next time we make an offer, we will make it at the point we think it's worth.

The property was advertised from 250-270K, so I don't think our offer was too low-ball :confused:

Help!! A similar property in the same homette block sold for 255K at the end of Feb this year. We offered 259K but are prepared to go to 270K. There was a lot of people at the open inspection and from the questions they were asking I'm pretty sure they will be putting in offers too. Hope...

I have just made an offer on a property...first one ever! If my offer is not the highest, is it fair to assume the real estate agent will come back to me to let me know my offer is not the highest and give me the opportunity to better my offer? I don't want to miss out on the property but...

Thanks heaps for your advice, that's what I was after. Any idea of cost to have a professional do this? Obviously it depends on size, etc. but a ball park figure would be good.

haha... we have absolutely no reno experience, so a sledge-hammer would be scary!!
