    Are photos normally taken when having a revaluation done?

    If you are going to be present when they attend, it doesn't hurt to provide them with copies of sales of comparable places in the suburb. While they would probably note the sales anyway it makes their job a bit easier, and you can indicate how yours are similar. Once the valuation is in, it's...

    Using an overlay to repair concrete

    Hi All, I've got a tenant who has washed the concreted part of the backyard with a pressure washer, and it has partially torn it up. Spalling is apparently the appropriate word according to google, and similar pictures. There were already some cracks etc present. They are now concerned about...

    Underquoting and jaded buyers

    Jacque, I assume the $1.011 was Glanmire Rd? The 'recommended price' was very under quoted when 48 Glanmire, being a terrible triangle corner block, sold for $850K a few weeks ago. The agent called us this morning chest thumping, and trying to entice us to sell. If someone wants to pay such a...

    DA Resi Land Beecroft

    I've been on the lookout for property, and land at Beecroft for some time and had seen your listing. Castle Howard Road has always been a bit shaded for my liking. Is the site accessed from Kirkham Road? The photograph, and the plan are difficult to understand the site. Maybe additional...

    Plumber in Blacktown

    Blacktown Hot Water have given me a recent quote for $8700 to dig up and replace the sewer line. This included cutting down 2 palm trees (probably the source of the roots), knocking over the bbq, excavating 15m and cutting through a driveway (but not relaying it). I am awaiting the quotes...

    Silent treatment - no agent information

    Agents doing fake or expired listings to draw people in? I think this was one. It has been listed for ever, and when i called to enquire they quickly mentioned others for sale. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-parramatta-107322440 Current site views over 45,000. BTW...

    Floorboards in unit

    Hi Everyone, We are due to settle on a unit in Parramatta in early November and one thing which is needed is new carpets/flooring. Presently, there is carpet throughout the entire unit apart from the bathroom and kitchen. Ideally i would like to put floorboards down in the living areas, and...

    No deposit collected for the sale of my home

    The only person you may have a chance against would be the conveyancer. Depends upon whether you agreed to the delays in paying the deposit after being fed the excuses. Don't forget, you also have the role of checking the progress of the sale and payments. It's like those people who complain...

    Pros and Cons of a partnership

    I would recommend that you each go and get independant legal advice. That is, your sister & husband see one solicitor, and you see a totally different one. That way there will be no issue as not having been told of the risks beforehand. There are no more fiercely argued disputes than ones...

    pre settlement dispute - guidance sought

    Agree with the others, the exact wording, and definitions will determine whether the clause has been complied with. A better option next time would be to have simply reduced the purchase price so that you could do it yourself (knowing it has been done properly).

    tenants just separated

    From your original post, "We still want the new lease, but T. needs to know if she has to be on the lease to be able to continue running her DayCare from here. We are not sure if it would have any effect on the insurance etc if she was not on the lease." are they running a day care from your IP...

    Which lenders will lend to higher LVR on dual occupancy?

    Hi All, Thought someone might be able to provide the name of banks who will lend to 80% LVR, or higher as against a dual occ (Granny Flat). I am with ANZ for multiple loans and while they are willing to lend to me presently, it is only to 70% for the dual occ. This is reducing the lend by...

    removing tenant after 23 years.

    I saw an article this week where a NSW person was selling their house and wanted to evict the tenant after 20+ years. This was not a younger person evicting an older person but two oldies (86 year old lady evicting 85+ year lady). The CTTT in NSW still made the vendor give 12 months notice...

    Back yard - common property

    Fingers crossed your neighbour passes on paying for the lease for their yard. Then maybe you could lease theirs as well for a double size yard!! Would be a good result for you, but unlikely to result in good neighbourly relations.

    A Complete Granny Flat Build

    I think your property manager has given you the reasons it has taken so long to rent (and most likely always will), small bedrooms, and no parking. If the people turning up have said this then it can't be denied. The bedrooms are 3m x 3m. Subtract the robes and you have a room 2300 x 3000...

    A Complete Granny Flat Build

    I would rethink getting about not getting that depreciation report. We had one prepared for our brand new GF and this year will be claiming $3800 towards depreciation. While this includes A/C and a shed etc, you may have had some of these. While your accountant may know some things to be...

    Can you build a granny flat, prior to the PPOR?

    Hi All, I was looking a buying some vacant land in Beecroft, NSW which is where we would eventually like to build our PPOR. This would ideally be to stay for long-term. The problem is that due to the high cost of the land, to build our 'dream home' (you know, underfloor heating, triple galzed...
