Hi, We've just inspected our new build to find the gas storage hot water system to be in, what looks like, a really silly position. We asked for it to be moved but were told that it was there due to strict regulations regarding ventilation of the unit and position of the exhaust away from...

The covenant on our block gives very restrictive conditions for all dividing fences. We have a corner block and want to put our own fence (outside the covenant rules) along the roadside boundary. Does "dividing fence" include this boundary? My google research says no but I want to be sure...

interesting angle from both Marg and Ryan. I guess that with the tenant taking off with so much owing it might be said that it demonstrates a higher tendency to commit other dodgy actions so I'm thinking that I'll go with the re-keying. Thanks

Thanks Marg and rugrat, the extra perspectives are very helpful I'll definitely enquire about the re-keying and I can see that the age of the carpets could make for a contentious issue. I can't inspect the property myself as it is interstate and time constraints don't permit, more is the...

Thanks for the replies. Insurance is with Terri Scheer The only good photos I have of the property are from when I bought it in late 2010 and the place is immaculate. I don't have any photos of the house from the original inbound inspection report or even a copy of that report. I've had...

Hi, My PM had let me know of some rental breaches over start of summer and then suggested we ask them to leave at end of lease. They have done a runner owing about $1800 in rent plus now apparently the carpets are beyond use, house needs complete repaint plus a few repairs to furniture etc. See...

"20 feet from stardom." If you like singing and voices then this is amazing. I still get goosebumps thinking of some of the performances. "The act of killing" One of the most intense and disturbing films I've ever seen. A true and horrific look at one of our closest neighbours. There is...

My money's on Mr Fabulous. If that's not a rockin' wrestling' stage name I don't know what is.

As horrible as that sounds (and I hope it's true) biting cockies is almost preferable to bed bugs. We suffered thru them in London in 2 places and it was murder. This is the missus with her reaction after a couple of nights. I'm not exaggerating to say that the bed sheets were dotted with...

Thanks VaSSagO, Im just waiting on a quote back from them but in the meantime if anyone can recommend another option I'd appreciate it. Cheers

Hi All Does anyone have any contacts they can recommend for limestone block retaining walls in the mandurah/rockingham area? Thanks

When, where, how? I'm genuinely interested about this. My thoughts have actually been different to this for a long time. I've often thought that longer hours may be an answer. Sounds counter-intuitive (and sure to rile some) but when I go to Northbridge or Freo for a late night the problems...

Dropped rent from $520 to $420/wk on 4/2/2 in Clinton on advice from PM. Still CF+ but that's a BIG drop.

Oops. And thanks too, Dave

Thanks Terry. I'm having real trouble getting advice from my broker. Not too happy

Hopefully a simple question... I have an IP with an IO loan. If I get another separate loan to access the equity from my IP and use that equity to buy my PPOR, is it just the separate equity loan interest that is not tax deductible or does the original IP loan also get 'polluted'? Thanks Jeff

Our new block has a terraced lower level where our builder has said we will need to provide scaffolding during the house construction. Their quote for this scaffolding is over $10k!!!! And we will have nothing to show for it at the end of the build. Options 1. We arrange our own scaffolding...
