    moving from west to bayside east melbourne help!

    yes and it upsets me to think how much more land cost is in altona compared to laverton, altona meadows, werribee. my husband could use the laverton station but the parking is a nightmare. from our house he walks a brisk 7 minutes. laverton station is only 5 minute drive but would take...

    moving from west to bayside east melbourne help!

    have i moved yet?? NOPE. we weighed up everything and have just really realised that we don't want to get caught up in 'always trying to do better better better'. Our house is paid off, fully reno'ed and altona has grown on me (its no sandringham, but it's home). so even though we COULD...

    Property Managers

    agree biggles. if you have more than one ip in an area it can also help to use 2 different real estate agent companies as you get to see quite a lot of different ways things can be dealt with and if something does go horribly wrong you can bounce ideas off the other or jump ship quickly...

    Good agent needed in Altona.

    anyone at barlows 'scott or anthony' have been around a long time, they are excellent at selling 'high end' houses. a guy that worked for sweeneys is now working there also 'peter'. all very good. can i ask which street? and how big the blocks are roughly? they will have made a tidy little...

    Good agent needed in Altona.

    barlows are very good, especially at selling. mancini probably have the biggest rent roll in the altona/altona meadows area but not my cup of tea for selling (talking from experience).

    Recommend a hot water unit for a unit??

    thanks for replies. i have decided just to go with the quote :confused: after a bit of research on the internet it seems reasonable for supply and install. I don't really feel like ringing around to try and save $50. i don't know a thing about hot water units except that cheaper is not...

    telephone line 1st connection- who pays?

    being a tenant 13 years ago in VIC, i was the first tenant in a new townhouse. I had to pay, i looked into it first and i was liable back then. bit silly really, considering the landlord gets slugged for all other service fees. i guess it isn't seen as an essential. i think if they needed...

    Raising awareness - am I just a hard-hearted cynic?

    are you implying that 'autism awareness day' is a waste of time? it raises awareness to others who have 'typical' children. (or normal as YOU may probably call it). my son has autism and so i open my eyes to other peoples plights to 'raise awareness'. if you don't like it... hang up or...
