Hey All, So I got a quote back from the original kitchen installers to extend the bench to wall, add a few more cupboards and bin tidy, replace stone with 30mm Ceaser on both Island and Cooktop, price was $5,800 (incl. GST) all inclusive. Does that sound expensive? I've asked for a breakdown...

Hi Guys, Can somebody please tell me after a property is settled in NSW, should we have received confirmation from the local council and water authority confirming change of ownership and that all monies have been adjusted/paid for the current period? Thus far have received nothing but...

Hi All, Thanks for all your recommendations and different angles to tackle this project. Currently investigating a few options so I'll report back as the project moves forward. Just out of curiosity also, how difficult is it to replace an electric oven? Cheers. Victor.

Hi Guys, Seeking advice as to whom I should contact in order to have an Island Kitchen Bench extended/modified. Mind you, I've never ever done any physical changes to a property, EVER, so quite vanilla at all this. We are looking to change the current island bench as follows: -...

Terry, This is where I'm confused because assume rates were paid for the whole period being 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 at $907.70 for the period. UNIT: Vendor Pays (266/365) to 24 March 2014 or $661.50 Purchaser Pays (98/365) from 24 March to 30 June 2014 or $243.71 I drew a cheque...

TMNT, Apologies for hi-jacking your thread, however, our unit settled yesterday and I don't quite understand how settlement disbursement was calculated either, albeit I did query with solicitor and he says funds were debited from Vendor's portion which I think is incorrect and I've been left...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anybody knows or could recommend somebody to contact in respect to Aluminium Sliding Doors in Sydney (Rosebery 2018 and surrounds)? I'd like to reconfigure two of the panels on a 5 panel configuration. Any idea of cost to do this? Basically just want to swap the...

Hmm, in that case, perhaps the fee is excessive in comparison to the service! I'm not keen on paying twice so I'll ride it out for now but what concerns me is the chance of further hiccups along the way, especially as I'm out of contact for a week and won't be able to keep a tab on things to...

Haven't paid Stamp Duty as yet...

$1,100 (incl. GST) + Disbursements :mad: This is the first time using them, will most likely be the last. I think we're too far down the track now to pick-up and move elsewhere now, or are we?

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. This is the timeline of events thus far. E-mail following initial enquiry about their services, which I guess acted as a letter outlining potential issues as it did mention searches for adverse affectations, their fee, not to sign contract without...

Hi Guys, I'm just curious as to how much formal documentation you have received from your Solicitor/Conveyancer for your property purchase in NSW? Previous purchases in Victoria have run extremely smoothly and our Solicitor was very professional providing us with formal...

Scott, out of curiosity, where are you living? Seems like you have to deal with a bit of aircraft noise also. How do I interpret those maps? For example, parts of Mascot appear to be within ANEF Contour 25 & 30. Does the 25 & 30 represent acceptable dB tolerances within that band or...

Hmm, interesting feedback re: that area of Maroubra. As mentioned we were very turned off that part once we had a good drive though. There's actually one for sale now: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-maroubra-115852199 So would you suggest looking anywhere North of...

Roachy, What street in Mascot? Hmm, looked out to Chifley also. What's the transport like to the CBD?
