    Why does this board love Frankston so much?

    Incorrect. The proposed route is here: http://www.seita.com.au/pages-support/publications/data/Map_for_proposed_Frankston_Bypass_Route.pdf and it's smack bang through the pines reserve. In fact, see here for more info: http://www.seita.com.au/pages/frankston-bypass-ees--phase-two.asp Note that...

    quality of depreciation schedules

    We recommend http://www.washingtonbrown.com.au/ (Victoria). If nothing else, their website has a buch of good advice and background on the subject, if you're not familiar with the concept.

    Brisbane - Primary & High School style of writing

    Currently, yes. Education is a state-based government department, so each state does their own thing. They're probably all about 99% the same, but there's also a million and one tiny differences, and that's what makes it harder for the kids to transition. There is currently a push to unify...

    Where Do I Stand Legally?

    This sounds like a problem for your solicitor to resolve. If you correctly specificed vacant posssession on the contract, then you are entitled to expect it...whilst it's not your problem the vendor (apparently) didn't do his part re: removing the tenants, the legal remidies to 'fix' the...

    I'm writing up an offer - Need help!!

    An offer with so many conditions is going to be 'sold' by the agent as unfavourable. Especially if they have other offers (or promises of other offers forthcoming) to present also. For most agents, it's just "too hard" for THEM (not the vendor) to deal with so much extra work, when presenting...

    Seminars or learning groups

    Time for a shamless plug ... My employer is offering two free property buying seminars in the coming two months. We are Buyer Advocates, so of course there is somewhat of a 'bent' towards spruiking our services; however we are genuinely trying to offer 'free advice', and we will be more than...

    I disagree that Seaford is 'knackered'... Yes capital growth has stalled (-0.7% in the June quarter - or $2,500) but it's annual growth (June 07 to June 08) is still a healthy 13%. As always, only time will tell what will happen and nobody has a crystal ball, but I happen to believe that the...

    Digital TV - Educate me...

    I tend to disagree - for one main reason, ond one lesser reason: the extra channels, and the better sound. To watch the extra free commercial channels, you need a HD capable box. All HD boxes will output the HD chanel to a non-HD TV, so there really is no technical reason not to. The extra...

    The FHOG is heavily policed...from the first article: I wouldn't risk it!! http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24191380-2862,00.html http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/home-grant-cheats-pursued-to-recoup-millions/2005/06/21/1119321737630.html...

    Noble Park

    ...because Seaford's already had it's run. 12 to 18 months ago you could get into Seaford for between $250k and 280k. Now it's 350k-400k for even the average places in the right locations. It's time to look at new areas....IMHO, Noble Park isn't it, but at least someone is thinking outside the...
