Looking at getting a policy in place for a property we are hoping to buy (once we exchange), anyone got any recommendations? The property isn't in good condition, so we are only trying to ensure for major events rather then smaller incidents. Had a look at budget direct & coles so far, about...

Trying to find a sale price from april- RPdata has it as price withheld, as does everywhere else... anyway of finding it?

Anyone got any good primer sheets on the requirements for ground/1st floor dual occupancies? (one house into two). Lots of info easily available on party walls, and obviously the ceiling will have to meet the same fire requirements but not much info on the standard/simpler ways of doing this...

Why is this document so important in our modern electronic Torrens title time? Its not really title anyway, its the current state of title as recorded when they print it. You can't do anything with it directly, so why isn't it simply the banks (in cases of mortgage) talking directly to Lands...

I'm looking at a property that isn't square to the road- I'd like to work out the exact angle/shape so I can plan the block better but I haven't seen anything that lists the angle? I have the dimensions & area but none of the angles. Where can I find it- other then measuring on the block...

Is their somewhere I can look up covenants? I have a copy of the title (from LPI) on a property I'm looking at, and it has a covenant listed & an ID number. Can I look this up somewhere?
