Thanks atrill and HD_ACE. Will PM you :)

Thanks for your input, and I can appreciate your opinion regarding the paying of the bills - but I didn't want them to do that. I don't need to answer why I want to pay the bills - that is my business. I specifically said that I didn't want them to do this, so it was very frustrating that my...

I should have. I didn't want to get them offside tho. Silly me.

Hi Guys We're having a terrible time of it lately. We have been signed up with our PM for 11 months and whilst they originally went fine, they have just deteriorated rapidly. We've had 4 different property managers and 3 different leasing agents to deal with in that time and the emails are...

Hi there I have been offered a new job and I am very undecided on if I should take the position or not. Without going into all the pros and cons, the reason I am seriously considering this position is that it is working for a property development company. I would be working as a bookkeeper. I...

anyone want to weigh in??

It has been a long and tiring month and I just can't seem to get my head around title insurance. Any help would be much appreciated. This is my second purchase - my first purchase was an apartment back in 2009 and I did not purchase title insurance then, nor was it even recommended to me. I...

The extension will include knocking out walls and, I imagine, taking the roof off.... please forgive my ignorance, I know nothing about houses, so I imagine that lifting the roof will include doing something with the eaves? And if there is asbestos with the eaves, then we would have to remove...

I know that our building inspector will identify hazardous materials and asbestos, and we have discussed with him previously that we want to see where the asbestos is prior to having an asbestos inspection/quote... building inspection is happening today, and we will have report tomorrow. So I...

Dang it! I only have until Sunday to get this inspection done... agh! Any recs for who does this kind of thing?

So.... the general consensus is to get a quote/inspection done? How will he tell things that are not visible? Or it it better just to wait until it comes time to extend?

Ok, I think the kitchen and bathroom were renovated in early 90's... would that have any impact on those areas having asbestos?

Btw - the house is brick and tile, so it's not like it is clad in asbestos. I don't know much about asbestos to be honest, but I've heard it might be in the eaves or the walls?

Hi guys We are in the middle of purchasing a propery, just getting all our inspections done. One of the clauses in our O&E was that we were able to have an asbestos inspection done, and if the cost of removing said asbestos was over a certain value, then we could pull out of the sale. The...

thanks heaps Joel, really appreciated!

thanks heaps, I have received a quote from ResiCert and it all looks pretty good. Any idea of what we should be paying? My husband has spoken to a building inspector a couple of times, and he wants to use him. This guy is just under $600 for his premium inspection. A quote from Archicentre...

We need to arrange a building inspection and pest inspection for a property that we have an offer on. This part has me a bit overwhelmed. There are so many building inspectors in Perth and everywhere I turn, I keep getting tips of what we should and shouldn't look for in an inspector. And the...

So is it possible to say to the REA, 'we don't want you to come inside for the inspection?' in a nicer way of course....

Hi guys We are currently in the process of arranging our building and pest inspections. Got an email from the REA yesterday, she asked us to give her mobile number to the inspection companies, and then she would liase with them to do the inspection. Are we able to go along and speak with the...
