    New oven in Adelaide

    I had searched on gumtree but using stove, oven brings up a few more results. I have no way of picking one up what do people do when they don't have towballs, trailers or friends that are handy with this stuff? Most of these are about 20-50km from where the property is located. Also how do I...

    FAQ: How do I buy in a different city?

    Use a buyers agent either one based in the area or an expert in the area. This doesn't mean your don't do you due diligence though.

    New oven in Adelaide

    I have a tenanted property which has plans in council atm to be demolished and townhouses built in its place. Unfortunately the old upright stove in it is broken and cannot be fixed. So I need to replace it. I don't want to put a new on in as it will only be used for another year or two. Does...

    Building and landlord Insurance

    I have several properties that are strata titled and obviously only need landlord insurance (as building insurance is covered in the strata levy). I have just bought a freestanding house. I have taken out landlord building insurance and landlord insurance with Terri Scheer. It appears that loss...

    Investar. Worth the money?

    Does anyone use Investar? I just listened to a webinar for the hell of it and thought it might be worth a try. Or am I just getting suckered into something that I could just as easily do myself? (That last question needs to be answered by someone who has actually used it)

    Comparing suburbs variables when deciding where to buy

    Yes I mentioned these variables as the ones everyone looks at (including me!) but it would be interesting to see if % properties rented is a variable to consider. One of the other variables I forgot to mention is that the average income for the area with the lowest median price and lowest...

    Ceiling space conversion

    Just wondering if anyone has converted ceiling space into living space. What are the considerations (besides where the stairs are going to go)? What is the cost compared to simply adding on an extra bedroom, bathroom and small living area?

    Potential IP Layout - Ideas!

    I think you're option is probably the only one. Then you could convert the outside wet area into a laundry. As a plumber you would know but isn't the cost of "moving" a wet area massive? You would also have to consider whether access to the back yard would be via the new bedroom or would you...

    Peoples thoughts on Adelaide?

    I agree with Brady but just to push the point 600-800k is actually much closer to the upper end in Adelaide. Most of my friends who have high paying jobs (eg. doctors, lawyers etc) live in houses worth around this and in VERY nice suburbs. Other friends in average paid jobs would live in houses...

    Brick - Paint Ideas?

    Here's an example of a similar colour scheme that Westminster suggested. My personal opinion is that dark grey may be too much but a slightly lighter shade as in this photo will look fresh and modern but also make the house appear larger than a darker colour. The pergola and plantings may also...
