Seems that the valuer may have used a fair discount then for the two units on one lot.

are the properties on separate title?

So sort of like a caravan park but with shipping containers instead of caravans or cabins.

Did you read the section on Insurance? Simple solution is to find an insurance company that will meet both your requirements and insure the buildings and common areas together.

Looks great. Did you struggle to find a builder? Is that a timber or steel frame construction? What is your estimated build time? Any chance you can PM me the address. Would love to drive past for a look.

Anyone heard of Hebel being used in WA? http://hebel.com.au/product-category/external-walls

Would you still purchase the property if you weren't able to lease the granny flat out legally? Council would be your first step regarding the dual living requirements you would have to meet.

do you know the r code zoning? you will have to find out the minimum lot size allowed and then figure our if reducing the rear lots land size by 20 square metres will be allowed.

I have to admit I was really shocked that double brick and internal brick walls were considered the norm. It made no sense to me being originally from Melbourne. But once something becomes expected and deemed to be the best option you will struggle to change their mind.

I would expect a lower valuation in Perth for a brick veneer house compared to double brick. It is seen a a lower standard of building. Even with its higher star rating.

quick phonecall to the state revenue office should clarify that they have placed the PPOR exemption against the correct property.

Majority of valuers would be taking these factors into consideration when undertaking a full valuation.

Lets hope they get it correct on the lease agreement. Is there a cost to them to adjust the advert?

All fair points. But I would be pissed off if my agent decided to charge the landlord instead of taking it out of the tenants bond.

nice of your agent to charge another two week letting fee when the previous tenant they found didn't hang around for the entire length of their lease. I would be asking the agent to waive this fee.
