Guys many thanks, I'll take the plunge on appliancesonline and let you know!

The washing machine in my IP has packed up and I need to buy a new one but I'm not in Aust to do this. Just wondering where is the best place say on the net/phone to get new one from someone to supply, fit and take away old machine for Rozelle in Sydney? I can see appliancesonline.com.au...

I have a Daiken (ducted version) in a premium property and yes they are more expensive but given the type of property it made more sense (including resale) for it. Remember if read some of the stories about the other manufacturers re availability of parts (particularly under warranty) then you...

Interesting having been invested in a 2 bedder in Rozelle for 10 years I'm expecting a signficant rent jump when my tenant leaves at end of March, already have people asking to get to it first and we haven't even advertised it yet. Probably one thing to note however is inner west (Rozelle...

The Accounting bodies (CA's, CPA's etc) are all aggresively fighting this ridiculous newly created interpretation that only lawyers can give tax legislation advice that you can reasonably rely upon (not enough Aust tax lawyers anyway to cope with the workflow). I wouldn't be surprised to see...

Probably useful for those wanting an overview of the state of play of financing buy to let in the UK presently. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/cb72d7c8-360e-11e0-9b3b-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1E8fkuVoX

Rachel - interested to know who you use as an agent in SW London. Are you talking Battersea/Clapham/Balham area or more Wimbledon/Colliers Wood way? Foxton are sharks, mind you many of the others aren't much better. A common agent clause with Landlords should reject outright was 'we get 2%...

James' advice is bang on, I'm currently an Aussie expat living in London and have for many years. Yields in the UK only 10 years ago were routinely 10-12%, this collapsed to near Aust levels as the fad of owning investment property really took off from 2002 onwards (driven by cheap money...

I'm only interested in supply and fit..........

Nek - Interested to hear your installation experience of JJ Metro West? Apart from cost did they do a good job, including being on keeping you aware of delivery date, timeliness when doing the work, cleaning up, etc?

Hi Guys, I currently have an IP where I intend to put air con in, looking for a quality split unit inverter type. Bascially looking for any recommendations of an approved installer who can install a Daikin & Fujitsu for a 2 bed unit in Rozelle? Current tenant is moving out 6 weeks and I have...

Sorry not saying Perp were there for explaining the ANZ product, ANZ staff were hopeless at that themselves, but Perp we re genuinely awful and frankly lied about getting documents couriered to me etc. Given the timezone differences I had it all on email.

....my ten cents I'ved used both, nothing against Scot, but I felt Deppro were better in our case with pricing being very similar....

...simple answer Aust property is taxed in Oz whether you are tax resident or non-resident, doens't matter when it comes to real estate in particular. You keep all the benefits as is normal with regard to deductions, however if you don't have Australian sourced income then the losses simply...

....might be relevant Interesting topic as a friend of mine who runs a recognised lowdoc company (so I can't mention it) said he needed to buy a property quickly, which precluded him using a full doc loan application. At any rate he went with a lowdoc offering at a competitor (to avoid a...
