acrylic alternative have recently installed acrylic alternative to glass bricks. About half the price. Look great! Assembled under license in Aus by company in Queensland. We got ours through Trend Windows in Vic. Brand name Hy Lite Cannot speak for durability yet but light and just like a...

An "equitable interest"...? Does that mean that any rental income should be shared between the vendor and the purchaser for the period between signing of the contract and settlement ... or the vendor should be paying the purchaser some rent? Or is this where the law becomes fuzzy, not...

Those Hebel blocks are fantastic to work with should you go down that track. I used them to support an unusually shaped rectangle spa bath last weekend. I shaped them with a saw and wood rasp. Glued them in and finished with the aforementioned cement slurry. They were a great solution to a...

Agreed Bundy... how to lose friends and effluence people! A socially tolerated pyramid scheme. From a pi*/*d off friend/acquantance/workmate!!! Kel

Reruns Nat stole my thunder! I don't know the legal implications of publicising the names of the itinerant companies involved but I for one, would love to know which insurers and underwriters I can trust! Am currently seeking that type of cover. Perhaps a private email if you feel uneasy about...

TerryG and Ger just a consideration from the other end of this issue. I recently decided NOT to buy a pair of units on the one site. The final tipping factor was that the current tenants had been in there for up to 14 years (coincidently!) and the owner had not increased the rent along market...

Is it possible to make an offer on a property anonymously i.e. the identity of the purchaser remaining unknown to the vendor until after the contracts are exchanged? The purpose would be to puchase from a vendor who is known to me and would probably be reluctant to sell to me if they knew...

Astro Boy I'm in the same boat. Both properties either side would more than treble the value, versatility and potential of our ip. I would not have thought that any more than just talking to the relevant property owners was possible though. It has put us in the sometimes uncomfortable...

Gday Rodm I'm sorry I don't have the figures you need or a suitable ref. but I did use these figures a few years ago to calculate the actual value of a new property I was being offered by a developer. I got on to a land reseller who was selling land in the same estate and street so I found...

g'day GG We've just signed up our second ip with the same pm. We insisted that the rates be the same as our first ip. The rate we pay is 5% (their standard is 8.8% now, was 7%) along with a reduction in most of the other fees and charges. It was just a case of negotiation. We knew they...

G'day Brains I lived in Newcastle and worked on the RAAF Base at Williamtown for a several years back in the late 70s. Raymond Terrace and Medowie supported most of the married personnel from the base. Is it still that way or does the base still exist for that matter? A housemate at the time...

Not sure if I have the correct location. I got the idea of writing in an access clause on the contract of sale from this forum. A great idea to get into the ip and change or reno anything in need of tlc AND have prospective tenants through to get them in asap. A learning experience for...

Howdy, just interested in opinions on choosing a pm. We currently use a pm we are happy with but they are located about 2Km from our latest acquisition, and there is an re we could use only 200m from this ip. The convenience of rent payment for the tenant and a good relationship we...

Thanks RV. Much appreciated! Once again, this forum helps me out. Stay tuned for I'm sure to have more exciting questions to ask.

As you can see I have not added a lot to this forum. I'm sorry but I find myself reading the answers to my questions before I ask them and any advice or comments I propose seem inadequate or trivial when I see what others say. Compared to most of you I feel inexperienced and a relative novice...

I needed that myself recently. Similar situation with the councils. I spoke to some neighbours and found out the approximate age. then I discovered one neighbour who knew, and was still in touch with, the original owner-builder of my IP. I'm sorry to say that he couldn't produce any of the...

G'day all WE have sold our PPOR and are moving into our IP to help balance our books for a while and to reno the bathrooms as I enjoy that sort of thing. We have been told that if we should use the cash from the sale of our PPOR to OFFSET the IP loan 100% during this time, then if we...
