We are doing exactly the same thing in coming weeks, swapping IP and PPOR, I searched the forum to see whether i could use a local agent to do the valuation or a certified valuer. As noted above it must be a valuer. Can anyone recommend a valuer for the outer Sydney western suburbs, as it is...

yeap, lack of innovation is the issue, walk into lindt or max brenners at lunchtime or in the evenings and you can be lucky to get a table.

I used gloss Cabots CFP Oil based plus CFP Hardener on a new hardwood parquetry floor just on 10 years ago now. It is now starting to age but has stood up extremely well. We will be recoating in about a years time as it will become an IP and ill go the same route.

sorry to burst your bubble but the latest available NSW stats portray a different story: ◦The greatest increase of children was in the Sydney area. Inner Sydney and Central Western Sydney had the biggest increase followed by the Eastern Suburbs •Within Sydney, births decreased in the...

wow, a government who has trouble getting policy through due to a populist 'opposition'....sound familiar?

so if they are presenting an itemised list of most things they will charge for, what is the 9% covering. lawyers will hit you up for a fee each time they speak to you but generally they aren't also going for a big chunk of your turnover week to week as well.

Also a valuation on the PPOR -> IP property will be required for determining CGT down the track, this will be then the cost basis for any calculations if the property is sold. You dont need it for IP -> PPOR though, for that direction they use a pro-rata calculation and charge CGT on the %...

one thing not being included in the numbers being thrown around is the effect negative gearing has on properties at the lower end of the market that previously were being picked up by public housing. Whilst lowering house prices will help those in a position to purchase, there are plenty, who...

http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/live-blog-the-carbon-tax-debate-20111012-1ljtf.html 9.37am: Much applause, hand shaking and congratulations all round as the Clean Energy Future bills pass the lower house. The government secured the passage of the 18 bills with the support of...

popularity contests aside, I'm still looking for the reasoning behind the term 'corrupt' similar to the other claims of 'undemocratic' or 'democracy is dead'... personally the member of Parliament that i voted for is still there, i am guessing everyone else's is as well... so democracy is...

why are they corrupt?

also give http://www.nearmap.com/ a go instead of google maps, it often has more recent, higher res images. also +1 for just taking a screen shot. windows 7 has the 'snipping tool' and also google 'snagit' for something with more features if you need them

new dishwasher in the IP and the rest into the offset
