Welcome to the forum. I agree with this quote. You need to research comparable sales of similar properties in the suburb. Also consider the likelihood of capital growth and demand in the area.

I agree with this if you can afford it though given the budget and area!

Seems like a lot to me. A combined P&B is $450 inclusive GST. We don't charge for every contract we review. We take an initial fee of $110, we review the first contract if successful $110 is credited towards your conveyancing cost at settlement if not successful the amount is not credited...

Don't you hate that. In New South Wales, a Real Estate Agent cannot advertise or show a prospective Purchaser the property until the Real Estate Agent has a Contract for Sale of Land available to provide to a Purchaser at the time of advertising or showing the property to the Purchaser...

I am thinking of selling my Rozelle house any takers :D

Completely agreed big slow down in the inner west especially last 2 weeks Erskineville included and many updated listings including rentals! I live in Rozelle with a family and I have never had a problem off street parking although Newtown/Erskineville I would imagine to be worse!

Hi Bobquarepants I am a property lawyer in Rozelle. Inner west is doing some strange things at the moment. Some properties are getting too much attention and others not so much. The homes with great reno's seem to be fetching a lot higher prices in Leichhardt, Rozelle and Lilyfield. A lot...

Completely agree with this comment. A lot of the inner city units have major strata issues. A strata report is always essential when you buy strata properties but inner city is a MUST!! The worst strata reports I have seen have been in the inner city area, constant special levies, occupants...

$400.00 seems a bit pricey we use 2 different service providers who are well known. One charges $250 inclusive GST and the other $275 inclusive of GST. Turnaround time is 48 hours. You can do your own but you need to know what you are looking for. Given your experience it is better to pay a...

If you do this you must have a lawyer/conveyancer review the contract, have all your searches done and at least have pre-approval of your mortgage in writing!!

Completely agreed about the inner west!! agents knocking back offers all the time and if they accept before the auction they normally tender it.

This is what we lawyers/conveyancers are paid for, ask questions and make them explain it to you. If you are hesitant to ask your lawyer/conveyancer these questions then you have the wrong lawyer/conveyancer as my clients never feel uncomfortable asking me questions and I encourage this. It...

I like this!!!

It is called a tender. This means that there are probably quite a few interested buyers for this property and it is happening quite a lot lately especially in the inner west so he may not be bluffing. A strata report costs $265.00 including GST sounds like it is worth it given the issues...

I have never had a problem with staining on my caesar stone and I have it in the bathroom and kitchen. Gumption works really well if something leaves a mark just clean gently. Black granite apparently is a real nightmare stay clear of that. I know heaps of people with it and all they do...

Keep me posted. I am located in Balmain although happy to travel around Parramatta.

How rude I would not have bought anything either like cu@thetop. That is just rude.

Yeah 66W certificates are used quite a lot if the purchaser doesn't sign with the agent on a Saturday with a cooling off. Normally by the time a 66W is given, the purchaser has had their finance arranged and reports done, changes made to the contract hence enough time. In this case the...

Hi Thanks. Yeah property market in Sydney seems to have picked up in the last few weeks. Hopefully it lasts...

Hi everyone I have written an article on the early steps in buying property in NSW. I have highlighted issues which through my experience are the most common mistakes people make in the early stages of buying their property. Again today another purchaser missed out on a property...
