Forget it , it is a known scam, has been around for a while

Ideo,interesting what we, as individuals, tolerate. In my earlier married days (30 years ago) I commuted from Springwood for 6-7 years. Was a good place to live (spent most of the commute playing 500). "Hideous" life might be a tad strong ! Much prefer to bring up the kids in Springwood than an...

yes evand, its very much a personal choice of course. I have lived in the burbs, (and worked in the city centre for 25 years). When I say Sydney does not feature in my future plans, trust me....

My mother (died Woy Woy 2007) was born Brickwharf rd Woy Woy in 1911. After time away, war etc, returned here in 1969 where she remained until her death. My Wife and I have lived here (Woy Woy) for 10 years and are commencing a new build in about 4 weeks, which will be our last home I hope...

Absolutely agree, just commenting in the absence of any other info....but, as you say, there could be many other "things" to be taken into consideration. Cheers

1 = $150000, 1 = $10000 50/50 tenants in common ???

jsoe, curious what/who is an Executive Solicitor ? A new level of University achievement ! or a self awarded title ? Notice you also ? the title.....

Yes, charlieandkath, am thinking, not installing solar power for a return on investment, rather a minimising of ongoing expenses. So from that point of view, if we find the up front cost ok then I think we will go for it anyway. Will ease future cost of living pressures. Yes we do have natural...

Cheers O A am certainly thinking if solar elec strains the budget too much now, I would be making sure the builder does all he could to make the place solar friendly for future installation. I understand gas is in the street so imagine a bottle is not applicable. Will be using it for...

Many thanks O A . That is pretty much as I thought. as you kindly offered ! : -As Nat gas is cheaper than elec.it seems sensible to go with it for the hot water system? -From a funding point of view I'm thinking provide for the Solar hot water system first then if funds permit include Solar...

We hopefully will commence building a 4 br ppor house in the latter half of this year. Presently finalising plans for council. Could someone set me straight in my thinking.....we want Solar Power and want to connect natural gas and have Solar/Gas hot water. These are 2 independent systems...

Didn't realise it woud be so pricey, but as you say 3 Bed 2 cuts and a bit of travelling ! Would imagine my 2 bed would be 1 cut, don't know for sure of course, then the distance ......whatever ! Don't think you could build a 3 bed for 60k

A Removal Co. I have spoken with did not have any concerns ! I asked about the fibro and the only problem could be the receiving local govt. area, who may not allow, if it was proposed moving it to a built up residential area. If it was going to a hobby farm for example they recon would not be...

Exactly what we are about to do. Have a 2 bed Fibro on central coast we have owned (rented) for a year. Want to build a ppor. Seems its well worth a go, advertise FREE the only cost being removal costs to anyone who wants it. Will save us approx $10k I believe.

SYD, have sent a pm

What a life interest does of course is keep the assets "in the family". For example I am in that position where I have a life interest in one of the properties in the will of my mother. I had remarried prior to the Will being drafted (and subsequent death of the testatrix) and it was at my...

Thought I might revive this thread to get any advice which may cover our plans: Had IP for 1 year. Planning to knock down rebuild and make ppor. Any thoughts on how CGT might be applied or how we should cover our backs ?

We plan to build a ppor in the next financial year. Does anyone know if it is generally cheaper to use a local builder than, for example, using one of the bignames ? Realise you get what you pay for, but on a like for like basis....! I appreciate there are a lot of pros and cons for both...

100% Bayview, well said.

Reading this thread reminded me, many years ago after my 2nd (or was it the 1st) divorce (same outcome in both cases anyway), my ex kept the house and subsequently rented it out. Tenant stopped paying the rent and after going through the relevant authority my ex obtained the necessaries to...
