I've requested an extension so that we can do an inspection of the body corporate records but have been told this could take 7 days. I've requested a 7 day extension but the sellers are refusing and saying I can have until 5pm today. Is that allowed? How can they refuse? We are entitled...

Thanks Jamie. Looks like I'll be doing this. I've already had one extension to the building and pest deadline, do you think I'll be able to get another one as it expires today?

Our convenyancer said they can inspect the body corporate records but this will incur a $300 fee. All we require are the minutes from the last meeting which as buyers are entitled too. I'm interstate so unable to attend to the body corporate myself.

I've recently had a building and pest inspection completed on a unit I've been successful with. The inspection came up with a few issues and I was told by the inspector to request the minutes of the last body corporate meeting to see if there were any plans to rectify the issues. I've requested...

Thanks everyone. I've now found a PM so will post on how things go..

Thanks Pipsal that would be great.

I'm thinking of investing in a unit on the Gold Coast with Surfers Paradise and Southport on the shortlist at the moment. What are peoples views on high rise buildings? Is it harder to finance and sell etc?

I'm selling a house in WA and signed up with an agent to sell it for me. I signed a 90 day contract but we've had a few disagreements and I was wondering if it's possible to end the agreement or do I need to stay with him for the full 90 days?

Bought OTP a few years back and it's due to finish mid year. Property prices have fallen considerably and the developers and development has gone quiet. What happens if a developer goes bust? The deposits we've paid are supposedly safe in a trust account..

Thanks for all advice. I've decided to ride it out until October. We've been trying to get the seller to produce the tenancy agreement before settlement which is this coming Friday. So far we have been unsuccessful, they keep giving excuses as to why they can't produce it. The agent said...

Thanks Stangman! How do I find out if the service is linked to an Indian Trade Directory? I've found a few inspection service companies but don't know if their legit. Yes I've signed up to Alibaba.

I've told the tenants that id like to move in and renovate. I've also offered them $1000 and also pay for removalists but they still want to stay until the lease expires in October. I think they have looked around and know what the rental situation is like here in Perth and want to keep on...
