Called BPI, they aren't available till next Tuesday but the clock has started ticking. Any other B&P recommendations? Back to the documentation side, I've signed/initialed the contract and Form 1, now what? Send it over to the conveyancer? Didn't know someone else will accept my...

If I do something like partitioning half of my house off, add a separate entrance and effectively making it as if there is a separate residence within an established home, is a DA required? Going to share the same meters for electricity and water. Or am I be better off plonking a granny's...

Feeling absolutely stoked my PPOR and IP's in Sydney have climbed a fair bit in recent times but bitter about prices have gone absolutely bonkers at the same time. Anyone else share the same sentiment?

The IP has this underground level with the garage and at the back of it, there's a cellar covering 4x6m. It's basically a dirt hole with some lights, racks and a concrete walk path but nothing else. If I get someone in to put some wooden panel on the wall, perhaps install some sort of...

Gonna hop overseas for couple of weeks, can I still print out the contract/scan it/email it back to the agent? In NSW if that helps.

Hi all, Never bought anything in SA before so I'm not 100% across on the process. Is it the same as NSW where: 1. Make an offer 2. If accepted, pay 0.025% 3. Do the usual B&P etc 4. Exchange contract, pay the balance of the 10% deposit 5. ..... 6. Settlement Have I missed anything...

As titled, going to take the plunge and get something there. Any recommendations? Keep in mind we'll be interstate so will that be an issue with signing stuff? :confused: Thanks!

Got an email 2 weeks ago from my PM the tenant's pool cleaner (no wonder the pool is so freakin clean...) recommend the pool pump needs a service. I was like :confused::confused::confused: so spoke to the guy directly. He said the tenants reported the pump isn't working 100%, he reckons the...

Went to an open house yesterday and someone there raised a point about asbestos - how prevalent is this stuff in older houses, say 1940s bungalows? Should an asbestos report be done on all older properties or just in the case of the suspect ones?

Got a new cooktop to install, replace a light switch, 2 sets of lights and a couple of downlights. Any recommendations around Bankstown/Liverpool? Thanks :D

Should I be alarmed or it's just a standard clause for this type of sale? Thanks :)

I'm finding this kinda weird...I'm getting a val ordered, the bank came back and said oh if they valued the property >$1.5m, they will want almost $800 for the val compared to stock standard $220. Am I missing something here? Thanks :D

Wanting to collect a couple more houses but as usual, limited deposits and rather not top up's through existing properties. Investec's 95% no LMI product for number crunchers is kinda appealing. I do understand 80% is standard rate and the rest is a wrap supplied by them at a substantially...

Got any recommendations? I would like to extend the existing carport in both directions (in front and behind). Got a vague idea how I would like it done. Thanks :D

How's this suburb? Are there any streets within the 'burb I need to stay away from and am I better off looking at Isaacs or Phillip? Looks like I might move everyone down from Sydney to Canberra for a couple of years then IP time. (yes I'm aware of the stamp duty deduction in the first year...

The property is in ACT, the vendor is my housemate and I might be interested in buying that place when he gets desperate. When he sign an agency agreement with the agent, can he put my name in there to exclude them from pocketing commission should I ended up buying it?

There's a few houses that I know of have exchanged, settled and moved in by their new owners but the data provided by PF still haven't reflected this. How often do OSR release these updated data and PF loads it?

The usual spiel - drain blocked, water jetted it out, appears to be tree root (haven't done a CCTV inspection yet) and recommend dig out and replace the darn pipe... Have anyone got the damaged pipe relined as oppose to replacing it? How's your experience with the process? Thanks :o

Tenant says aircond works around the rest of the house except the master room and need someone to sort this out - any recommendations around the Hills District? Hopefully it's not gonna be too painful.... Thanks :D

Long story short, the neighbour has moved out and they've been renting it out for the past couple of years. They (the owner) have only stayed there for a short period of time and never got their details when they moved out. I know which agency manage the property but don't really want them to...
