Thanks atrill and HD_ACE. Will PM you :)

Thanks for your input, and I can appreciate your opinion regarding the paying of the bills - but I didn't want them to do that. I don't need to answer why I want to pay the bills - that is my business. I specifically said that I didn't want them to do this, so it was very frustrating that my...

I should have. I didn't want to get them offside tho. Silly me.

Hi Guys We're having a terrible time of it lately. We have been signed up with our PM for 11 months and whilst they originally went fine, they have just deteriorated rapidly. We've had 4 different property managers and 3 different leasing agents to deal with in that time and the emails are...

Hi there I have been offered a new job and I am very undecided on if I should take the position or not. Without going into all the pros and cons, the reason I am seriously considering this position is that it is working for a property development company. I would be working as a bookkeeper. I...

Dang it! I only have until Sunday to get this inspection done... agh! Any recs for who does this kind of thing?

So.... the general consensus is to get a quote/inspection done? How will he tell things that are not visible? Or it it better just to wait until it comes time to extend?

Ok, I think the kitchen and bathroom were renovated in early 90's... would that have any impact on those areas having asbestos?

Btw - the house is brick and tile, so it's not like it is clad in asbestos. I don't know much about asbestos to be honest, but I've heard it might be in the eaves or the walls?

Hi guys We are in the middle of purchasing a propery, just getting all our inspections done. One of the clauses in our O&E was that we were able to have an asbestos inspection done, and if the cost of removing said asbestos was over a certain value, then we could pull out of the sale. The...
