I think the Northern Suburbs of Darwin is still a good area to purchase in.. There are some nice ex housing commission houses in some of the suburbs that are not too bad in price and would be a good investment. Alawa, Jingili, Millner, Rapid Creek, Moil are not too bad as a suburb.. Tiwi and...

Hi, so if this is right and the seller owns the property until settlement, why did I have to get insurance coverage on the property I was purchasing in Petrie, Brisbane before settlement?? Thanks heaps, Seabreeze

You have lost me in this statement about the PM and not managing the property. Are we not employing these people to do exactly that? Do I not pay money weekly for my PM to keep their finger on the pulse and ensure that the tenants do what their lease requires them or/and what the Queensland RTA...

Hello, As I wander through RE.com looking at finding PI, I keep asking myself what do people want?? What will they be looking at in renting in the future? I looking for something to invest in and am trying to predict/foresee what renters want in the future.. I have seen aged care...

Hey Brian, It only seems yesterday that you were up doing your daughter's roof. The reason I remember was that I was looking for my roof to be done also and the quote I was getting were shocking.. Can I suggest that when you looking around at suburbs you include MILNER which has not 'gone'...

Hi, I know this is a old thread but ..... I find myself in the position of needing to replace a dishwasker for my Brisbane property and have no idea what to buy. I do not have or ever used a dishwaser.. The house is currently rented out but I hope to be living in it in 12 months...

It was lovely how they changed the window into french doors and it really opened the place up, I like it ! I was however surprise there was no mention of seeking building board approval to modify a window into the door or to check your shire council regulations for building modifications...

The bond is not being returned to the tenant, however, the RE did say if the tenant wanted to take it further she would probably get her bond back. They had one instance when the carpet was over 7 years old, the tribunal said the Landlord had already been paid out for it via depreciation and...

Thanks Jody, In the Territory, this seems the norm but not for Queensland, cleaning of the outside area concrete /water blasting is seem as part of the owners yearly maintenance obligations. I spoke to the Queensland RTA folks and they said it really was up to interpretation and my PM believes...

Hi, I was wondering if I could ask if it is correct that when a tenacy ceases, the tenants do not have to clean the concrete area of the property?? Seems strange to me, as I thought the tenancy said that the premises had to be returned in the same state as it was tenanted minus the normal...

I too signed up with a PM company and signed the 90 day termination clause. I was not aware that it is a standard statement and most just cross the 90 days out and put 30.. You live and learn. I would say, as we have signed the contract with the 90 day termination fee not altered,we by law...

I would be asking for desexing evidence for the dog if I chose the lady. I am still wearing the wounds of having seven staffy puppies on my premise because i did not have the foresight to ask if the two dogs were desexed :eek: Especially when you own both the male and *****. It was a big...

Yes, I thought that it would be no worries when allowing outside dogs but hey three months on, not only do I have the parents but 7 staffy pups that the female tenant is insisting on keeping until she find the right home for each pup.. The threat of Notice to Remedy and Eviction does not seem...

I used the below when purchasing my Petrie place in Feb/March this year after friends recommended them. I had no trouble booking them at a short notice and they did arrive on time. They were very thorough and efficient. I was more than pleased with them. Australian Building Inspection...

Hi, I would like to thank everyone for their comments and ideas, very much appreciate you going to the trouble of reading my epic :cool: and then replying. Please rest assure I will not allow this issue to stop me from allowing pets on my premises in the further. I know there is many good...

Somone must have opinion on what they would do in such a situation. My gut feeling is that considering they are Queenslanders and they from Deception bay which is part of the Moreton Bay Shire council, they know or should know the regulations relating to dog ownership, breeding, belonging to...

I need some advise on this instance.. Tuesday 17th, when tradies were attending my ip, it was discovered that there was seven eight week old puppies on the premies. They were locked in the patio area which I understand you could smell from way outside near the carport area.. To say it was a...
