Exactly. I've been pre-warning every single real estate agent I've been involved with recently. At the start I was wary to **** them off, but I'm only looking for IP's atm, something I don't desperately need, just in for a decent deal, I don't care if I **** them off. I've basically forwarded...

It's about somewhere half way between 10-40k. Carpenters will charge you a bit more for knocking together, it will cost about 15% more in material as they are cutting 3m/6m studs, main cost is probably plastering, it's an extra ripped sheet and an extra sheet join to stop up., so you are...

Use laminate paint, specifically designed to stick to cupboard doors etc. Why hire someone to remove the tiles? It's a bugger of a job, yes, but anyone can do it, I'd be doing that yourself and getting a plumber to change your taps etc personally. Go down to bunnings and buy a bolster.

If you are doing an extension you will need to pay a little bit more than $600.... Draftsman fees, site survey, geo tech soil report, building permit etc. Admin should gobble up close to $10k pretty quickly for most extensions.

Like I said, the walls adjoining that bathroom won't be load bearing, unless the truss maker was smoking bongs and wanted to makeup a span of about 1m, like you said, the few trusses that are load bearing are in hallways, ie as close to the middle of the house as possible, not a bathroom running...

Exactly, you are paying GST on the new townhouses vs tax free if you intend on living in the single one for the required time.

Very rarely on most single span residential roofs and certainly not on a bathroom wall adjoining the load bearing outside wall of a house.

All your internal walls aren't load bearring, you have a trussed roof, just don't touch your external walls without seeking advice from a local builder

300-400 is on the extreme case. You could build that house from scratch for 300. I did one similar but a weatherboard 6 months ago for 130k

Wondering if those legal types on here, know of anyone with experience in Indonesian property law and consultation? Preferably in Melbourne, but pretty much happy with someone based in Australia. I guess the same applies with some accountants, anyone know of anyone dealing with some client...

Brick?!?! It's a cedar weatherboard.....

Hi, Wondering if anyone would recommend a reasonably priced, good property solicitor in Melbourne for basic contract revisions etc, or a good conveyancer that does the same, with good past dealings?

You see this is where people differ. Generally on my Reno's I almost always replace the kitchens completely, for that example above i MIGHT replace the doors if I was working with skinny margins. I think the general effect you portray with the house with a brand new kitchen and appliances...

Floating floor is rubbish for anything but a quick cheap fix up imo, and most buyers with a decent eye for taste can see straight through it. Engineered flooring as you mentioned is a 12mm ply with usually a 3mm veneer on top, its glued and shot down in the same way as a traditional timber...

Rofl, not for a whole house I would of thought......... Basically these are your answers; If you want a floating floor, go over the existing tiles. If you want a solid timber, polished floor, rip the tiles up. To rip tiles up on a full house, you usually use a Jack Hammer with a...

I've noticed alot of people tend to target damaged and unfinished properties, and it's a side of the renovation market that appeals to me. Any tricks, keywords etc people use when looking for these?

Hi, Just wandering from those experienced in doing top end architectural dual occ's a rule of thumb measurement you implement when doing feasibility. By top end I'm referring to something like this, and how much you would allow per sq/m and associated costs etc...

Someones telling porkies to you then. That property was never getting passed in at that price. The condition honestly wasn't that bad, its solid brick, and needed a full refurb anyway, the missing kitchen is irrelevant.............. As for nothing comparable? What the mirror image...

I was seriously considering buying the peel street one. Funnily enough, I had some mates that used to live in it as a share house. I would of made a fair few alterations to the layout. Was looking at around 80-100k.

Your subfloor should have no bearing on what your floor coverings are, the only thing that it can effect is the cost to lay solid timber floor. Spantec is just a steel version of a pier and joist system. Personally I like a bit of contrast, but usually put timber floors in the kitchen as...
