I was trying to sort things out amicably.

thanks for your help.

Thank you so much for your advice! I've been worried sick. I'll be seeing my solicitor first thing in the morning.

There's a property that has just sold two weeks ago exactly that I have a vested interest in and was planning to place a caveat on. Is it too late or do I have just enough time if I go in first thing Monday morning?

Sorry for the delayed response. I bought a property with a relative. Unfortunately the property was in their name (as I was temporarily unemployed at the time). I paid half of the deposit with my life savings and completed all renovations myself over a year. At completion we were supposed...

Thanks for the reply Terry_w. You were very helpful. I sought pro bono legal advice a few weeks back regarding the caveat. Upon what I explained to the solicitor she believes I definitely have a caveatable interest. Later on after the meeting I was a little unsure whether I needed the...

When placing a caveat on a property, do I only have to provide proof of a caveatable interest if the caveat is challenged? Or do I have to provide proof when lodging the caveat? Thanks

Thanks for the reply Terry. I know he would only be able to pay it once the property sold.

Tell me about it... it's sad...we used to be very close but he got involved with the wrong girl and drugs.. it really changed him.

Do you think sending an invoice and following up in court could be a viable route? Or should I place a caveat and wait for it to sell to collect my money?

I have a signed agreement between myself and my brother basically stating that we would split the profits for the work I completed once the property was sold. It wasn't witnessed though, but it was signed by both he and I. I do have a lot of photographic evidence of me working on the property...

Hi guys.. I stuffed up. I made the mistake of doing business with family and it's coming back to bite me in the bum... I lent my brother half of his deposit for a house and I also completed a full reno within and out on the promise that when it was completed he would give me a share of the...

Sorry, I have one month left on the lease after my date of departure. And the lease was for six months. I don't mind the agent and LL chasing extra rent if they can get it. I just want to know my rights within the law. And I don't want to be taken advantage of so they can take a month to find...

We are breaking our lease one month early as we are moving into our own home. I know that I am responsible for rent until either a new tenant is found or the current lease expires. I have been informed by the agent that they will be advertising the property at a higher rate than we are...

Thanks guys for your input. We received the contract back today. Our solicitor had been hassling them also as to where the contract was and apparently it was just the bank taking their own time to do things. :rolleyes:
