That's what I was thinking. I've met an agent like this. She pits everyone against eachother to drive the price up. And continues to push the property once an offer has been accepted to gazump the poor potential buyer who is already paying too much as it is. I often check her listings each...

Not impressed. I only considered this option recently after watching an advert and was all but ready to sign on the dotted line. Got the quote late last week, they e-mailed me the paperwork and I was about to send it off when the news came. Think it's disgusting that the government has...

Got this one a couple of days ago. Am not a CBA customer. Dear Commonwealth Bank Customer, You are invited to take part in our nation-wide 5 question survey. If you choose to participate your account will be credited with 50$ just for your time. The information will not be...

Hi Evad, Another thing that you do need to consider are site costs that can be upwards of $15K and BASIX costs $10K approx. I believe there is another mandatory cost which I can't quite remember sorry that was $5K. Landscaping (grass, gardens, boundary fences, retaining walls don't come...

That really pi**es me off. Honestly if a house is on the market, where do tenants get off dictating who can and can't come through the house. Yeah I get that they have rights too but surely they need to be reasonable. Reminded me of an incident 2 weeks ago at an open for inspection where the...

That was quick thanks for that:)

Hi, I am buying a property that has an outlet for an LPG heater. Am assuming that Natural Gas would be more common. Have seen advertised heaters for LPG or Natural Gas but just wondering if you buy a heater for say LPG do they make converters so that you can use it on natural gas outlets also...

It's actually pretty neat though!

Thanks for that Propertunity. Must have missed that one. The last house I almost purchased went Way 2. Offer was given and accepted verbally and contracts sent out that day to conveyancer. Moved on the Pest and building before the weekend was out and decided it had too many problems. Received...

Whilst speaking with an agent the other day about the process of buying a property with his agency he mentioned that if I withdraw the contract presumably after signing it and paying a 0.25% of the purchase price deposit within the cooling off period I would lose the deposit. This was news to me...

That's hilarious. I on the other hand can't bring myself to be rude as much as they sh*t me. I just love it when you're out shopping and they're waiting at the bottom of the escalator waiting to strike. They'res only so many directions you can turn to pretend that you just didn't notice them...

Thanks guys. Would love to know how it turns out farmilor. Good to know it can be done. Cheers.

Hi just a quickie, Theres a property that I am interested in however finding it hard to get past the pink bathroom (bathtub,toilet and vanity sink). Wouldn't want to replace the whole bathroom as that would be quite expensive and it is liveable but just for the time being, is it possible to...

Wow that is pretty cheap! Remembering a few years ago I had a blow fan/heater on all night every night through winter. Big mistake.:(

geez, how much would that have been in electricity with a fan going all night:eek:

I only ever use my atm card at visa plus machines when travelling o/seas. I get a lump sum out when I enter the country to prevent too many fees and charges and then get more out conservatively as I see fit. Cash passport still charges fees whenever you use it anyway so I really don't see the...

Thanks Rockstar, Big difference in your two units with site costs. With retaining is it something you have to do straight away or could it wait awhile? I kinda knew retaining wouldn't be cheap. Retaining is something my dad could do if it was just treated pine. He's done it before. All I...
