Sorry if this is a dumb question.... Does anyone know someone who buys / collects used bricks in Perth (ie some with mortar still on them)? I thought I'd ask before I order and pay for a skip bin to have them gone.

Is anyone going? There is a promo code for free tickets available if you google for it (normally $99). I went last year and found it almost a bit much, but good if you could stay awake

I have a lawyer look into this for me but thought I'd ask here as well: The property next to my IP is tenanted. The asbestos fence dividing the two is crumbeling, I have a building inspection report that confirms it is a potential health risk due to its condition. The property manager...

Dev Opp: 2 adjacent 728sqm blocks in Orelia, WA My neighbor and I had a chat and it turns out we are both thinking about selling. So here goes... Two 728 sqm plots, both zoned R20, each with a renovated 1970s 3/1 on it. Both have large elevated backyards with nice treetop views and there is...

Looking for ideas please... I am looking to sell my place (720 sqm zoned R20 in Orelia, WA) and so does my Neighbour. We are both looking at late this / early next year. Same zoning and size, both with older houses. I am thinking both plots together could be worth more to a potential...

So I'm trying to get as much as possible of my ongoing mtce / reno costs to fit under $300 rule (Capital allowances: $300 immediate deduction)...

Ok so this is ultimately a question for the tax man... But maybe someone here knows. I am looking to Reno a rental with carpets. They are nearing the end of their life. I understand that if I rip up the old ones and put in new ones my tax benefit will be the write-off of the old (as per...

Hi I am looking for someone who can take out an existing old kitchen, including the wall that the oven is built into (that can't be load-bearing, can it?). There also is an old pergola to be taken down. Can anyone recommend someone please? Where do you usually find help like this? :confused...

I have an ex council 3/1 with a 40sqm extension. It is enclosed (walls/ windows) with a separate entrance around the back but alas .... council approved as 10a - uninhabitable ("store room / enclosed pergola"). I spoke to council and understand to make it Code 1 (inhabitable) I need to do the...

Hello, Does anyone here have recent experiences with HSBC? I had enquired about their 4.99% variable deal but was told it expired on Friday - but that a new 2yr fixed rate was available: 4.59%. That would cover a good two interest rate cuts. It all sounds too good to be true. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am looking at a property with a weird acoustic phenomenon: it is elevated and although it is three streets down and pretty far away from a busy road (Marmion Rd, Perth) you can really hear the traffic in the backyard. I have looked at places literally right next to the road but...
