Hi all, I am relocating to Picton for work in the next few weeks. We are renting in Thirlmere for the next 6 months whilst we have a chance to look around and decide on where we would like to settle. I have heard a lot of opinion lately that Picton has recently been through a great period of...

Another very happy client!! :) Rolf has helped me now for several years. First of all setting up the correct loan structures and releasing max equity, then financing an impossible development deal, and just recently devoted almost 2 years on & off helping with a refinance. Cannot speak highly...

I use Jan Bailey at Elders Berry to manage my properties in Berry. I think she also looks after property in Nowra. Definately worth a phone call 4464 1600. regards Andrew

Hi Skater, Do you mind if I ask the reason you sold? Was it difficulty with the banks lending? Were they in a HDT? Thanks in advance Andrew

I have just finished building 3 townhouses and are in the process of registering a neighbourhood title plan. I would think that if the plan is unregistered, then the 2 units ie duplex would still be on one title. Therefore you would not be able to complete purchase untill the neighbourhood title...

Ross, I can't believe it, I thought you must have been talking about me. Rolf also just completed a deal for me that has taking several months. (Interstate also)The final outcome much better than I could have ever expected, considering the current lending environment. As others have said...

I would also highly recommend Rolf Latham. I live 12 hours away and his knowlegde and service is second to none. I guess living nearby would just be an added bonus. regards Andrew

Hi Lizzie, Have you looked at community title or sometimes referred to as neighbourhood title? It works similiar to strata, however has the benefit of each lot owning and being responsible for the "whole of their building". Depending on site layout there will still be some common property but...

Mark, You have obviuosly had a bad experience with one or many mortgage brokers and that is a real shame. I can unashamedly say that without Rolf Latham as part of my team I would have never been exposed to the variety of deals that are available if you know where to look and have the...

2 for me please Thanks Andrew

Depending on the slope of the land all roofwater can be piped into above ground water tanks and the overflow then directed to the street. Because the height of the tank is say approx 2.4m, this will then hopefully provide enough fall to the street kerb. This system is called a "charged line"...

Keep your chin up Michael, I would think that just because there is an objection from 1 party, it does not mean that council will still not approve your DA. Keep faith with your architect, he probably deals with this all the time. I would think you are a long way off court proceedings at this...

Keith, Thanks a lot for sharing such an inspirational story. I congratulate you on having a basic strategy and sticking to your guns to reap the rewards. As far as luck goes, you created your own. Well done. Regards Andrew

2 please Thanks Andrew

Well done Michael, A couple of questions if you don't mind; 1/ How much approx did the architect charge just for the design/drawings etc not including all the reports you were required to obtain? 2/ Are you submitting a combined DA/Construction application? 3/ Are you planning to use...

Michael, Have you looked to see if it is possible to create 3 individual torrens titles ie Torrens Title subdivision? You may find the end valuations to be higher if you can achieve this. Andrew

Hi Geoff, Any idea where you can find out what building regulations are required when considering strata titling a new development? Thanks in advance Andrew

If anyone can offer any ideas or assistance with the following it would be very much appreciated; Have spent several months and several thousand dollars preparing everything for a DA submission to council for 2 off 3 Bed Dual OCC in Berry NSW (Shoalhaven City Council). I have just been told...

Jasperjue, I also followed a similiar process to Michael when assesing vacant land for townhouse development. First thing to do is mark up on a scale drawing of proposed lot within any required setbacks, easements etc. Then place on basic footprints of units (just use outline to start). 150m2...

I can also recommend Rolf Latham very highly. Distance is not a problem, I have only met with him once but with e-mail, phone etc Rolf's level of service is terrific. Rolf can definately help you to look at the big picture and will always take this into consideration when arranging finance...
