Hi there Does the 6 year rule apply if you are a non resident for tax purposes and living overseas? Ie. If I sell my ppor within 6 years while I am overseas, is it CGT exempt. Thanks

I don't think prices will crash this cycle as the rba still has room to adjust. If you look at housing crashes around the world it's been in countries where the rate is effectively 0% as there is no more stimulus possible, plus some bad lending on the side. The question is whether Australia will...

Fantastic news. I wish you all the best in health.

Amy Stamp from Stamp Properties has been managing mine for a number of years with no dramas and periodic rent increases.

Does this mean that they think the fair value yield of Aust housing is around 4.77%, as: {(real i + risk premium)-real net rental growth} = 3.77% + 2% - 1% = 4.77% I've used 10 year govt bonds here (3.77%) as I don't know the real 10yr indexed bond yield. I'm guessing the real 10yr...

Thanks. I thought homebuilders could build a brand new brick house for $180k these days, was told the rates psm they are doing now go as low as $900-1000 psm when I have been through displays in new estates. As my place is an old highset timber house not brick, I thought that was enough to cover...

It's a combined building and landlords insurance, building ins for $160k or $180k, and LL on top of that. I think it covers malicious damage and untenantable weeks, but not rent in arrears. Was charging $66 pm after discount which I thought was on the high side already, but since they had...

Hi guys Had a bit of a surprise this month when I was charged more for my landlords insurance premium. Usually I pay $64 and $66 per month for two properties. This month I was charged $130 and $66, thinking they doubled up. Upon querying them, was told that "Unfortunately rates have...

what about this one in Wollstonecraft? A little down the road from Artarmon http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Sale/Townhouse/NSW/Wollstonecraft/?adid=2009152316

Hi there I have just sold a place vacant, and the buyer who has signed a 66w wants to get a tenant in there within the 6 week settlement period. My solicitor says since they will 'take possession' of the property by moving a tenant into it, as per clause 18 of a standard nsw contract they...

Hey Posnow Mirvac has 5780 lots out there (in a JV) which came under the urban growth boundary when the govt expanded it recently. I believe they are aiming for first settlements around 2014/2015.

Great, thanks guys. I will give it a go! It is for a sale so hopefully no cracks for at least a few months. Of course I would want to do a good job for the buyer. cheers starbright

Hi there I am replacing my internal door handles which are the really old ones where if it has a lock, there are two holes in the doors. The new ones only need one hole in the door, so I'm wondering if I just fill up the hole with a similar sized piece of wood and putty and sand around it...

Sorry nsw.

No I didn't because they are in qld and I'm in new. Only email and phone contact.

Thanks Rockstar. Will let you guys know if I have any luck!

They are being investigated by the OFT across several states so I will be lucky if I get ANY of it back. Even if it were 4 people who spent 6 hours on it each at $100 ph, it's still a fraction of the cost...

Oops silly me :p I actually feel better now. No I didn't speak to the tenant, that was the PM. Thanks

Hi there, Must be a spat of bad runs for me lately. Can someone please advise what I can do in this situation? My PM agreed with the tenant for a rent increase of $5pw from 23/2/11 and I received the new lease agreement. Looking at my monthly rental statement in May, I noticed...
