    1) you do not own the internal wall - all walls are common property, you own the air space between the walls, ceiling and floor. 2) strata is responsible (in most cases) for shower leaks

    Who NOT to sell your house with in Upper North Shore!

    I do agree. When we have a HOT property and see the amount of interest we ask for all interested parties to submit their best offer in writing with a deadline time. Offers are then submitted to the vendor for consideration. Many times parties that missed out say they would have paid more.

    Isn't it funny that banks will do kurb-side or desk-top valuations when you are looking at refinancing or borrowing against the property, But when you are purchasing they do a full valuation.

    The tenant ledger can come back to bite tenants

    Yes - the tenant ledger is the best document when looking at prospective tenants. I would be careful of this - In NSW if you have 28 days to enforce the termination notice - after that you have to go though the whole process again. You should check the laws in the state the property is located.
