Anyone had any experience removing trees from properties in Logan Council? Is it easy to get permission?

I've been fortunate enough to have one of my Western Sydney houses I bought in 2009 rezoned for 6 storey high rise. I'm interested to see if anyone has examples of high rise zoned sites that they've held for a few years after the change in zoning. Has it outperformed regular low density...

Can someone recommend a good source of historical data for 'average days on market' for any given suburb going back a few years?

I bought a house in Western Sydney in 2009 for $280k. With recent planned changes to zoning, the house will be sitting on med/high density land very soon. I've been approached by an agent who has an adjacent block (at the rear) about to hit the market and would like to list both together to...

Anyone else looking for a tenant in the Blacktown area at the moment? Seems that with the latest boom, the rental market is pretty soft. There's 58 3 bedders on Domain. Have had the property for about 4 years now, and this two weeks vacancy is a first. I'm not asking top dollar either -...

My tenant has just given notice. The place is an attached 2 bedroom granny flat with own driveway and separate entry (nothing shared with the front house). It's in good condition, newly built in the mid 90's without any work done on it since and it's located on a quiet road. Fairly spacious -...

My stormwater pipes that take the water from my downpipies out to the street are completely clogged with tree roots / soil and appears to have been this way for many years through the neglect of the previous owner. They appear to be beyond saviour and the lack of drainage is causing the...

I have a couple of home loans that I'm looking to renegotiate a better rate on with the same lender. The loans were at 80% LVR on purchase price, but as prices have softened slight, I'd probably be at around 85%. Would negotiating the better rate bring this to their attention?
