Hi all, I have had ongoing issues with the hot water supply to one of my IP. The property is less than 3 years old and originally there was a problem with the Rheem infinity heater which was replaced uner warranty. Now there still seems to not to be enough hot water being created. Rheem...

Hi All, My son is approaching 21 and we are looking for suggestions on somewhere nice to go with him, his girlfriend and our other two younger children who are 8 and 10. Looking for something either in Sydney or NSW for a night out or overnight with a nice meal or something. Just...

Just put up a stud wall to divide a room The room has a ceiling fan with a light and the wall controller for the fan has a light switch but this wasn't used for the light. Instead an architrave light switch operated the light. I have run the wires for both the fan and the architrave light...

Hi all, I have an outside toilet that sits inside a room, and I would like to convert it into an en-suite accessible internally. It would be about 2.4m long but only just over a metre wide. Is this too narrow to create what I am looking for? I don't want to extend any further into the...

Hi, I'm an existing customer with WBC on the premier advantage pack with approx 750k borrowings on the variable rate. Currently I could switch to the 3 year fixed at 6.44 which includes the 0.2% discount for premier advantage pack. Do any of the brokers out there think I could get a...

Hi all, I settled on our PPOR 6 months ago. Since then I continue to receive payment notices from Council and water companies for my previous PPOR address. I sent copies of these notices to my solicitor who did the conveyancing, and they said all they can do is pass it on to the purchasers...

Hi all, I need to install around 175 linear metres (17 sq metres) of Cypress pine flooring to match an adjacent room. The new flooring will be 98mmx19mm boards and will be laid over a new particle board floor. Can anyone give me some advice on how to lay the floor? Should I just use...

Hi, I am looking to convert a carport to a living space. The car port sits under the roof line of the single storey house, and is sort of recessed into the house to form a sort of U shape. Hopefully the attached plan helps explain the change I want to make. The following is what has...

Hi all, On a copy of the council sewer diagram attached to the contract, it has the connection date for each property. Is this a good approximation of the date of build of the property ? Thanks Neil

Ok, so the new PPOR has had a single garage converted to a family room / bedroom without council approval. I plan on doing some other renos later on, so will need to think about getting approval. What is the best (and cheapest) method of approaching this so that I can get a building...

Hi, Our new PPOR has a boundary fence along a council reserve. What do you reckon our chance are of getting the council to pay half the replacement costs :rolleyes: Cheers Neil

Hi all, we have found a property that we might consider as our next PPOR. It is an older property that needs quite a bit of TLC which we are happy to do. It currently has a tenant in place until Aug 2011 and I think this is putting people off the property at the moment, and therefore...

Hi all My wife has already found the property she wants as the next PPOR :rolleyes: the trouble is we haven't started to market our PPOR yet! We wouldn't have the money lying around to put a deposit on this property until we got a deposit for ours. The new property is empty (deceased...

Hi all, I have a crack in my brick veneer house that starts at the bottom of an external rear wall and travels fairly straight up for about 10-11 ft. It has been there for as long as we have had the house (5 years), but wasn't mentioned on the building inspection report. the house is around 30...

Hi, One of my IP's has been without hot water for a week. This is a brand new property, so I have had a new Rheem unit installed. There was a delay because Rheem initially tried to replace a part, but it failed after a few hours, hence the new unit being installed. The tenant is now...

Hi, I hope someone with some electrical know how can help me troubleshoot a problem! I am getting an intermittent tripping of the main RCD in our electric box. It can happen any time of day or night, and can go for days or weeks without happening. If it had been at consistent times It...

Hi all, I'm due to settle on an IP (NSW) Next week. However, the bank are (rightly in my opinion) questioning the differences found between the contract and title registration. This is going to delay settlement and cost me in penalty payments every day I don't settle. The basic sequence...

Hi, I'd like to get some help for my 8 year old son, to help improve his English writing and spelling. Whilst I believe that as parents we could help him ourselves, I think he would respond better to a more structured approach from someone he doesn't know. What I am worried about is...

Hi all, I have searched the forums, and found partial answers to my questions, but i'm still not sure I fully understand. If I have a LOC against my PPOR, and I have used the PPOR only for activities related to my IP properties, then I can claim the interest as a tax deduction - is it that...

Hi I am soon to settle on a 3 Bed OTP town house. I haven't had a settlement date yet, but indications are it will be within the next 6 weeks. I would imagine given the stage it is at, I could get access to the property for the purpose of a depreciation schedule. Is there any benefit...
