Hi Handy Andy, The guy didn't want to lose the property so he paid the deposit and he agreed to an increase in the purchase price of another $10K (for all the friggen hassle and drama he caused me). Then 24 hours before the settlement date he asked for an extension as he said he didn't have...

Lucky you had an on the ball plumber Wylie!

My house doesn't connect or join into it at all it only services their house so is that actually considered a combined sewer? It goes from their house straight to the main council sewer line. My house has it's own completely separate sewer line that is nowhere near theirs that connects to the...

Hi I have a property in Brisbane that many years ago was part of a larger property that was subdivided into 4 blocks in the early 1950's. My property is 20 metres wide and the neighbours on the right hand side (which is the original farmhouse) have their private sewer line running across the...

Too much time on your hands Scott? Ever thought that some people just like to do things correctly to save any possible future angst with their neighbours.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the definition of a timber paling fence centre-line is in Qld? I have read the Dividing Fences act and it says a side dividing fence must be built on the common boundary but I can't find anywhere which says which part of the fence is supposed to go on...

ME Bank didn't reject it, I have been with them for 13 years and never missed a weekly payment (oh once I did 10 yrs when I had an accident and was in hospital for a week but it was caught up the very next week). I looked at their website and they don't seem to offer bridging finance. I rang...

The $25K deposit has already been released, so I do already have that.

Hi Aaron, can you suggest which banks to try for bridging finance?

Hi I have my property under contract for $550K the contract is unconditional and not subject to finance or anything BUT I did agree to a long settlement (110 days). I have an $81K mortgage owing on that property. I have found a house that I really, really want to buy for $398K but the vendor...

Thanks Penny As you say buying or selling is stressful at any time but going through this sort of crap really doesn't help. I've lost a few kilos but that isn't such a bad thing Lol I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a really interesting article which someone pm'd me about in the...

Unbelieveably this guy just still won't give up! Today's letter....The version of events as advised by your clients agent and relayed both to this office and to my client varies from what your client has advised you. Then they just asked where I would like to have the legal papers served to...

Thank you everyone for your advice, I am feeling much more at ease about things now, the guy is just a bully who doesn't want to lose a good deal. My solicitor has given me the pep talk that I needed and has convinced me not to let this guy bully me into submission, as that is exactly what he...

Even though it sometimes seems that people are able to lodge caveats at the drop of a hat, I would never do it, I don't have an interest in his any of his other properties and I certainly don't need or want anymore legal hassles!

Thanks Penny, I am slowly feeling a bit more relaxed about it now, my solicitor seems on the ball and hopefully he is! I am presuming that if someone applies to put a caveat over a property in Qld using a contract of sale as justification for the caveat that they must be required to produce a...
