The unit is in Eight Mile Plains Brisbane. I live in Gladstone. The feedback from people who inspected the unit is the freeway is behind the unit. Even if I engage the PM who is purely a property manager who have sold 1 or 2 units in the complex, I am not sure what she can bring that the current...

Hi, I am trying to sell my property for about 5 months with no offer. People inspected the property but because behind the unit is a freeway, it seems to turn people off. For the last 2 weekends, at least 2 or 3 group of people came throught and inspected the house. I signed up with Ray...

Well done WilliamB! Can you please share on how you managed to negotiate the fee and get advertising included? Did the agent start with the 5% of the first $18,000, plus 2.5% of the remainder + GST commission?

I had my onsite manager offered me a $7,000 fixed rate + GST. However, I don't think she is as professional as the real estate agent with buyer's database, marketing strategy, comparative analysis, etc. . She claimed she has a full license. The difference between the 2 is close to $3k...

Hi, Planning to sell a townhouse in brisbane. The agent quoted me the commission is 5% of the first $18,000, plus 2.5% of the remainder + GST. Can anyone please share their experience with selling in Brisbane? Is the rate acceptable? When I asked if the commission is negotiable, she said...

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know how much should I expect to be charged to get a valuation? The quotes I have been getting ranges from $250-1000. DS

Hi Everyone, An update on this issue. I have engaged an independent air conditioning company to perform an assessment if the wiring/piping can be replaced. Here is his response: After inspecting the installation of the air conditioning at the unitwe can report on the following. -...

Thanks for the reply everyone. The PM and I have decided to engage an electrician to see what can be done with minimal costs and put the proposal to them. At least it should show them that we are trying to work with them and meet their requirement as best we can. Hopefully we can reach an...

pinkboy - that'd give me more headache :D

In both letters issued in Sept & Nov 2013 (pls see attached letters), they just said the removal of the aircon unit from the front balcony is no longer required. I hope they did not mean I can have the aircon unit sitting without connected to power. Just by looking at the pictures - is it...

wylie and sez, Thanks for the quick responses. Yes - I agree it looks like unit 1 and 4 owners want to show their power. I sent the pictures to them before they sent me the last letter. They did not say/respond to the other piping shown in the pictures. They kept saying to remove the...

Hi experts I need your guidance to deal with the following issue: - I own unit 3 in a 4 units complex. Early in the year I decided to install an aircon in the unit. The mistake I did was I did not get a body corporate approval. When the aircon unit and piping were installed, the owner of...

Thank you so much for your input. The by-laws do not mention anything about aircon location but it looks like the Body Corp refers to the 'Appearance of the lot' and probably 'damage to common property' section of the by law. It looks like the only way to resolve it is to meet their...

In Jan, my tenant asked for an Aircon to be installed in the unit. I asked the PM to get a few quotes for the aircon. Not knowing we had to get Body Corp approval, the aircon was installed without any approval. The next door neighbor who happens to be in the Body Corp committee saw the aircon...
