Hi all Just wondering if anyone can recommend a well priced roof restoration company that services north of the river in Perth? Happy to use a smaller guy if the price and quality is right. We need to replace tiles, repoint, and respray the roof and also want to replace gutters. Roof...

Hi All I have an IP in Gladstone that requires a split system a/c in a west facing bedroom. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reputable contractor in that area? I was also unsure whether it is better to have the contractor do both the supply & install, or whether it is more...

Hi everyone Would anyone be able to recommend a proactive sales agent that covers the Bowen Hills area? I have done some searches (with no luck) and have also been trying to recall if there are any regular posters who are REA's in that area. Happy to receive a PM if preferred. Thanks...

Missing attachment I just realised I have included the same attachment twice in my OP...sorry! :o See attached. Thanks Angela

Hi DaveM Thanks for the reply and great points. The issues with the lack of a bond including with insurance are something I will look into. I will also need to check the standard lease re arrears and the right to terminate. My gut feeling is that the arrangement lacks protection for us and...

Oops...missed the second attachment...

Hi everyone Our tenants have just vacated our 18 month old 4x2x2 IP in Gladstone and it is advertised for lease. We are aware that the rental market is a little quiet at present in the 4 bed market, especially in the newer estates - we are in Emmadale Gardens. There are about 200 unfurnished...

Hi everyone Thank you for all the great replies! We are now in Brisbane and intend spending a couple of days getting a feel for the various areas and see how we go. I can't get over how many trees there are in and around Brisbane! I'm also surprised at just how much more spread out it all...

Hi everyone We are looking at moving to Brisbane in the next few months. We will be in Brisbane for a couple of days later this week and wanted to take a drive around and check out some possible suburbs to rent or buy in. At this stage we don't know where work will be located and so want...

Hi All We are doing a trip over to Brisbane in a couple of weeks and my 9 year old son noticed there is a Brisbane Lions home game on whilst we are there. He is a fanatical footy fan and player and the object of his passion has always been the Lions!!...not ideal for him given we live in...

I have currently shortlisted Go Gecko and We Sell Homes as possible Gladstone PM's worth considering. We are looking to switch from our current PM asap. If anyone has any feedback they would be willing to share on either of these PM's (or others) from a landlord or tenant perspective that would...

Hi jraff I haven't used either of those two companies (except to get a quote from WB once) but I have used BMT a number of times and they are excellent. Last year I had them review a depreciation schedule I had for a Sydney IP from a smaller firm, as I suspected it wasn't as comprehensive as...

Hi everyone I have read all the Gladstone threads from the last couple of years, but most PM info is getting a little bit dated. Now that the Gladstone rental market has settled down a bit (compared to say 2011) would anyone be able to recommend a reliable and effective property manager in...

Hi everyone Thanks for the many replies and the explanations of how banks calculate fixed rate break fees. We have various reasons for looking at selling this IP but not necessarily to substitute it with a comparable value deal, so portablility wasn't really likely to apply for us. I...

Hi Tobe. Thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought of your point above, so that does make me feel a bit better. :)

Hi All We have an IP that we are considering selling, but unfortunately the loan with NAB is currently on a 2yr fixed rate until April 2014. The fixed IR is 6.29% and we are on the Choices package. The loan is over $500k and the current variable interest rate on a Choices package appears to...

I spoke to OFT but they referred me to REIQ. REIQ told me they believe there is no statutory requirement to provide invoices, but it was certainly best practice. They did suggest that it could be put in a (future) management agreement as a condition that the PM is to provide copies of all...

Hi Russell Thanks for the reply. So just to clarify, does that mean that my IP can be transferred almost immediately to a new PM, but that I continue to pay the old PM for 90 days (or for the minimum 30 days if mutually agreed)? [Hence the reason the new PM manages the IP for free...

Is this the same Angela (O'Conner) that I think used to work at Raine & Horne? Also is Go Gecko relatively new in Gladstone? Does anyone have an opinion on Remax, Ray White, Elders, or Raine & Horne for property management? Thanks.

Hi Angel I must admit this is what I am hoping can happen. It was certainly the case with a NSW IP we had a couple of years ago, but the NSW management agreement didn't have a revocation clause equivalent to the current Qld one. The Qld one states that where we are on a "continuing...
