    Buying PPOR - building permits/council plans and barebones vendor statement

    BTW - It'll cost me about $92 for a priority lookup of approvals on the place based on landata/the council's online service.. I'm happy to pay for that plus any other info that is required I guess as long as it comes back quickly enough.... i'll just take it off the offer $$ ;)

    Buying PPOR - building permits/council plans and barebones vendor statement

    Thanks for the advice so far guys. So we've had another look at the place today. On the plus side, my wife and I really like it. The agent has told us that the conveyancer has found a file with information in it pertaining to building approvals granted for the property in 2000 for the...

    Buying PPOR - building permits/council plans and barebones vendor statement

    One part - not really. Looks good (except for cladding on the outside, but thats personal taste I guess). Some other alterations involve converting what was under house space to usable storage. My offer will include a condition for a building inspection to our satisfaction - so I can always...

    Buying PPOR - building permits/council plans and barebones vendor statement

    Hmm.. so what happens IF the building works were done legally but the plans are no longer with the council? How would one prove either way i wonder?

    Buying PPOR - building permits/council plans and barebones vendor statement

    "Old Lady" smell in a house

    i used to live in my grandparents old house. it smelt like, for lack of a better term, "old people". My clothes smelt like old people as they'd come out of the cupboard. My fiance would remind me of this every opportunity she could get ;) Did you try working on the cupboards ?

    Property Manager not overly proactive in chasing rent

    update - last week tenant said he'd be paying 650 (half rent) on due date, and another half in two weeks. Was due on the 17th, but we're still waiting. He would have recieved the 90-day NTV on friday... Ahh this is getting pretty funny. I think, at about 6 weeks to go, i'll put...

    Great PM in Templestowe Lower :)

    I live in that area, and we are renting through Philip Webb, Lisa Lionetti. She is a good PM, from our perspective as a tenant. She works out of the Mitcham office, but they have offices in Doncaster and Ringwood.

    Property Manager not overly proactive in chasing rent

    Okay... So we issued an NTV on the 3rd after the PM had a lengthy conversation with the tenant and the tenant basically said: 1. he only had $1K that he could pay (of the 1300 due) 2. his next centrelink payment was due on the 16th 3. he didn't know if he would be able to pay his rent on...

    Property Manager not overly proactive in chasing rent

    hmm.... so if they put him on a payment plan for a year, and the lease is up in September, can I give him a NTV for the day the lease ends ? Does he still pay the money once he's out ? i don't want to be forced to keep him in there just fort he sake of a payment plan...

    Property Manager not overly proactive in chasing rent

    Lil Skater - Aijii is a play on "agey", my nickname/short for Adrian :) Out of interest - what does a payment plan actually constitute ? Just say i'm owed $3000, but lease isn't over yet. How do they factor in the amount already in arrears but when the tenant still has to pay monthly rent...

    Property Manager not overly proactive in chasing rent

    Hmm - wouldn't I able to serve them a NTV with the termination date being that of the end of the lease under section 261 ? "Reasons for at least 90 days notice to vacate Please note – if you give notice under S261 or S262 in the case of a fixed term tenancy, S266 of the Act states that the...

    Property Manager not overly proactive in chasing rent

    Ok guys, So he paid the rent - on the 4th Mar. It was due on the 17th of Feb. I had my PM follow him up just before the 17th of Mar to make sure he would be on time, he replied with "I've just changed jobs, paid fortnightly now, need to make adjustments, will be a week late". I am building up...
