Living on Gold Coast. Three units have sold in a walk up block Im renting in over the last 2 years . I predicted the sale price rather accurately by knowing the rent. Units can rent a tad higher due to landlords factoring in body corp to an extent. Its certainly not absolute , think the rule can...

not saying "should" at all Simply wondering what others thought of this formula for gauging the value of a property. Obviously I don't assume its a hard and fast guide. Yes it has been my experience and observation that its panned out this way most of the time , in the bottom end of the...

had an offer Hi Dave, Have had an offer at $490,000. My observation. Personal experience.

Hi All, I have a duplex on the market. Did a reno with new kitchen and bathrooms retiled and new vanities etc. My first and only offer is $490,000. I had a rental appraisal done by 2 agents recently. Both said $580-$600 per week. What are reasons that sale price and rental return can be out...

I take your point Suppose two ways to look at this. It appears about commission and getting the largest piece of the pie. Personally, I am not convinced this is always best for the seller. Might be advantageous and in some cases not so, depending on who the agent is, how motivated they...

Hi All, I recently had a property on the market. An exclusive contract with the largest real estate in the area. I have never favoured exclusive contracts but now with marketing fees for realestate.com, paying for photos etc, it seems too expensive to use two agents. In the past using...

true if a customer did feed you business , some would not care about their reputation or their quality of of work. Some companies would not care. There are names for companies who are only in it for the money, with no concern for their clients or their reputation.Who wants to pay these...

yes $5000 for installation and trades You would think for this money I would receive a quality job. Its an embarrassment for this company to be linked with Bunnings. Bunnings manager has inspected the kitchen and agrees with Me, verbally anyway. They are still recommending Tradepro? Yes a...

Not cheap Tradepro are far from a cheap option. Almost $5,000 to install a small kitchen. Is not considered cheap. The Bunnings kitchen might be considered a cheaper option. The Bunnings consultant recommended Tradepro as quality installers. Not so. I would have been better off with...

Tradepro warning! Tradepro was highly recommended to me by the Bunnings consultant for nth NSW. What a shocking job. It has been over a month since they installed my kitchen. I am trying to get them to fix it to a quality standard as it is a terrible unprofessional job. They have offered...

Anybody used this company? tradepro Installation Services Pty Ltd PO Box 625, Ormeau MC | QLD 4208 They install mostly Bunning's kitchens on the Gold Coast and in northern NSW. They have asked me for a 25% deposit? Cheers

Hi All, Looking at a house with enough room in yard for a granny flat. My daughter is renting a studio and would like to be close to me and her dog. Any suggestions as to reliable companies who specialise in granny flats or is it cheaper to design your own and submit plans yourself and...
