    Anyone used Aussie?

    The Block Triple Threat Auction Results

    Agreed! I'd love to go on the Block (don't have anyone to go on with), but the thought of having to do 'high end' decorating is scarier than the hours of manual labour involved. I loved the series where they had to renovate a period fireplace and find tiles to match. Actual work! Not spending...

    vendor passed away before settlement!

    Could settlement take place if the deceased vendor had already signed the Transfer? Titles wouldn't know about it but whether down the track various agencies (e.g. state revenue) link up dates with ATO and realise the vendor was deceased at settlement and cause a problem?
