Yeah I am doing that now. Only bringing our personal belongings and whatever doesn't sell in time.

Hi guys, I am moving to the UK in November and want to know if anyone on here has used a removalist they can recommend from Sydney to the UK? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

They were approved for the amount. The problem was their banks valuation before settlement.

They had the valuer come around on Wednesday when they were going to exchange on the Friday so they had time to pull out with no cost to them.

How does that work?

That's my problem though. They had their finance approved and were prepared to pay $620,000. It was the valuer that said no so they wouldn't approve the loan.

The only worry I have is that even if she finds another person willing to buy it for $620,000 will the valuers still come in too low and we lose them too? It will cost us $2,000 to put it on the market since we didn't have to pay advertising last time.

Hi Everyone, I have a question for you. A unit sold in our block (unrenovated, ground floor, very noisy, unusable balcony) for $585,000. I called the agent that sold it to ask what she got for i as we are considering selling our. She said that is great timing because she has just accepted an...

Hi everyone, If I was to sell my property in Sydney and relocate to the UK, what is the best way to transfer the equity? I will be looking at tranferring $200,000+ so I don't want to make a mistake with fees and exchange rates etc. The ANZ tried to charge me $28 just for paying out my bike...

I looked on RE.com.au and the amount of rentals that are available are HUGE! Not the most convincing thing for me to buy there...yet.

Great reply Scott. So you are saying that depreciation is a great tool but if you can buy a property for a bargain price in that area that should be the right buying criteria and any depreciation is a bonus right?

Hi everyone, just re-reading my previous posts I wanted to clarify a couple of things. It sounded a bit unflattering reading it back. I'm not having a go at Ian or Rocket Property. My meeting with Ian was very good and I am seriously considering dealing with his company. He is a genuinely nice...

I am looking purely for investment. I don't care what it looks like within reason. I am after returns!

I think the major difference is the tax break due to the much improved depreciation schedule as I believe older places ones are virtually zero which makes it quicker for me to buy another using my tax

Thanks for posting Ian! I was wondering how long it would take to see you on here :) Just doing my due diligence as I am sure you will understand and appreciate! Btw I never got those emails from you. Hope your party was good! Scott
