There's a property that has just sold two weeks ago exactly that I have a vested interest in and was planning to place a caveat on. Is it too late or do I have just enough time if I go in first thing Monday morning?

When placing a caveat on a property, do I only have to provide proof of a caveatable interest if the caveat is challenged? Or do I have to provide proof when lodging the caveat? Thanks

Hi guys.. I stuffed up. I made the mistake of doing business with family and it's coming back to bite me in the bum... I lent my brother half of his deposit for a house and I also completed a full reno within and out on the promise that when it was completed he would give me a share of the...

We are breaking our lease one month early as we are moving into our own home. I know that I am responsible for rent until either a new tenant is found or the current lease expires. I have been informed by the agent that they will be advertising the property at a higher rate than we are...

A week ago we signed a contract after having our offer accepted. The property was a mortgagee sale and we were told that the contract had to be posted off to the bank to be signed and it should be back within 24-48hrs... a week later and we still haven't heard back. We did contact the agent...

Basically our situation is we are interested in two properties and we are waiting to hear back regarding one property if the owner is even interested in selling at this point. If we put a written offer in on one property and it is accepted (but a contract is yet to be signed) are we able to...

There's this beautiful old burnt out home with a lot of land around it I've had my eye on for around 7 years now. Not a thing has ever been done to it except perhaps the over grown grass slashed every now again. So as the title states, how would I find out who owns this property?

I've found a property on realestate.com.au that I'm really interested in. It's rather run down, but has a lot of character and is on a lot of land.. exactly what I'm after! Any how I used the "view page source" trick to view the price guage. Would this normally be a real indication of the...

Hi guys, I'm after a little advice concerning buying land to build on. There's a well priced large block of land in town which I'm thinking about, but I'm not sure what to consider or look for when buying land. Any advice would be very appreciated! Thanks

I've got some "how much" questions. I've always done everything myself and have no idea how much I should expect to pay tradies for certain jobs. Firstly how do painters normally charge? Per room, per square metre? And how much should I expect to pay? Also to tile a fireplace such as this...

As the title says I was wondering if lending institutions would consider overseas earnings when applying for home loans in Australia? Thanks

Hi guys, I had an interview the other day for a property management position and was emailed a question today asking what are my salary expectations for the position. I don't have much experience as a property manager which the interviewer is aware of, (only privately managing one of my...

Hi, I've got a quick question about repaying a refinanced homeloan. If I we were to use our properties equity as a deposit on another investment property, then go on to sell the first property, would the proceeds first have to go back on to the remaining loan amount? Or would we be free to...

Hi all, I have a question about using collateral in order to purchase another home. Please bare with me, I've really got no idea! We bought a house for $179,000, with a deposit of $40,000 around a year and a half ago, so the loan was about $140,000. We've done a complete reno inside and out...

Hi all, I'm after a little advice on a property we will be selling shortly. I basically want help on deciding whether I should get a strata title or not. The property is on a massive double sized block. Most houses in the street are also on massive double blocks and have a second house or...

I've had a caveat on my property for a couple of years now, and a second one placed in June this year. Through my research online I've read a few times that if a caveat has been there for more than three months, the caveat MAY have lapsed. Is this true? Is it it possible for a caveat to lapse if...

Hi all. I've been reading these forums a lot recently and have found them very helpful! I'm hoping that perhaps some of you may be able to help me with this question of mine. I have an unsecured personal loan and home-loan with a credit union in Tasmania. For various reasons I couldn't keep...
