Can an agent lease out a property and take another bond without releasing the previous bond? Thanks.

This is a longish rant, so please bear with me :) Our ex-landlord did an inspection over the weekend and has back with a loooong laundry list through their RE agent. Bear in mind that the owners and the agent had only done a thorough inspection in the first week of Feb and never complained...

I'm trying to assess whether our builder has done any damage (refer my other thread in this respect). Anyway, once the tiles are removed from the wall do you see the timber behind like in the attached picture? Is this normal?. Also, he seems to have taken out sections of the floor completely...

I asked my builder to provide a quote for the bathroom job - he replied he doesn't provide quotes and he and his assistants work on an "hourly basis". When I insisted on a quote he now says he can't work for us as he can't satisfy our requirements He was also extremely annoyed that I didn't...

Need to get them done (sanding, polishing and staining) - any idea which tradie (a carpenter?) to call? Could you also please give me an idea of costs - 14 steps; .76m wide... thanks :) Any recommendations would be most appreciated!

Plan to buy the R4.1 insulation batts from Bunnings. I need someone to remove and dispose existing batts and install new ones. Any names/recommendations would be most appreciated. Thanks :)

without cracking it? Want to replace the shower and a second hole below the first hole a the top of the tiled wall would have to be drilled to install the shower rod. Also need to put a mirror up over existing tiled wall. Is it possible without having to remove and retile? Thanks you :)

Need to get one off the shelf for the powder room as this one can't wait and we're running against time. Good quality, modern type. The ones we liked have a 12-14 week delivery time - don't mind doing it after we move in. But need at least one working bathroom while we're renovating the...

Three of our windows proposed to be double glazed are on the first floor. Am advised we would need to organise scaffolding. Can't they fix the new double glazed glass panes on the timber frames from inside the house?

West facing timber window frames. Existing panes will be removed. New double glazed panes with specs as follows: The fixed pane is: 6.5mm Laminated Hush Glass / 16mm Argon / 6.38mm Clear Comfort Plus Glass However, the 2 awning frames on either side of the fixed pane - as there is only so...

Apparently the current one we have is a gas guzzling dinosaur. Which brand and installer did you use? Thanks:)

A friend of ours has recommended a local builder highly. Could you please advise where I would need the services of a builder and where you think I should just get a tradie directly. I am thinking that where you need the services of several tradies for a single project then I use a builder's...

Our kitchen cabinets - looks pretty good and I don't want to rip it off if it's good timber. Here's a picture: Ta:) Upload keeps failing :(

I've absolutely no idea how and where to start. I know what I want but have no idea how to go about it. Could you experienced renovators help a newbie here?:) Your recommendations for tradies/builders etc - basically anything to start the job? Similarly need some recommendations for tradies...

After weeks of agonising over whether to go for hard timber or carpet or floating or bamboo, we've decided to go for strand woven bamboo, which is reportedly the hardest in the bamboo variety. Has anyone got them and if so are you happy with your decision? Anything we should be aware of...

Everything went smoothly yesterday and we got the keys to our new home:) Thank you so much to all those that responded to my numerous questions/doubts/anxieties and kept me from going crazy! So what next now? Any idea when we get the title deed? Thanks.

We just received a letter from the vendor's mortgagee providing the discharge payment settlement figure. However, we noticed that the loan number mentioned in this letter is completely different from the loan number mentioned in the letter they provided in support of the S27 statement. Any idea...

Just wondering whether you leave it all to the conveyancer or do you personally attend the settlement? We'd like to attend the same, any reason why we should not?

Hi, We're settling on our property that we purchased, this Monday. We've scheduled a pre-settlement inspection to take place this Saturday. I have asked for the agent to have a complete set of keys to all doors, gates and windows including remotes (to the garage) ready during inspection...

I'm just wondering - do smaller blocks (500-650m2) command a higher price per m2 than larger blocks (750 m2++) both with comparable houses? Assuming also there are no plans to sub-divide and develop the large blocks. Ta :)
