Thanks for all the replies. I have tried to contact strata today by phone but nobody picked up, so sent an email and will chase it up in the morning. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Have asked tenant to possibly catch one or take a photo of such against the glass. Cheers all.

Getting my PPoR revalued after 1.5 years. The area has been in the top 10 growth suburbs according to various online resources. So looking to hopefully get a bit of additional equity to fund further purchases. Anyway, this as this is the first revaluation i've had done on a property. I just...

Hey all, Tenant states they have spotted swarming termites outside at night time the last two nights as they have been attracted to the balcony lighting. I can't discredit this, having never seen them myself and I have never had to deal with termites myself. It could be just regular...

What are your top 3 essential reads related to investing. Can be residential or other. Whether it be a motivatiknal book, an in depth look at growth factors, tax information, etc. Why those three? Would these be your recommendations to the investor just stating out or yet to? If not what are...

This is for a 1 bedroom unit. You can get an existing 2 bedroom unit for around that price. You can get a Townhouse with 5km or the CBD and a freestanding house with 10km. Obviously people are paying these prices, otherwise development would not go ahead, but why? Is there something I am...

We've purchased a place and I'm just want to ask what tradespeople we need to hire to do the following: - Paint ceiling, floors, mainly and possibly a few touch ups on the doors, etc - Replace carpet to timber / floating floorboards - Replace rangehood (it is ducted) - Fix a blocked burner on a...

There is the possibility that we will renovate in the next couple of years once we settle into the mortgage. Although as with everything, plans may change. Paying that extra $500-800 (x2) now may mean we can put renovations off longer and use that money to invest in other properties, etc...

Got a building and pest done and it has been highlighted as such: It has been suggested that Megasealed or DiaOseal will be sufficient to correct this by inspector. Want to know if such a correction will actually be sufficient? Was told that the probability of it being a leaking pipe or...

Additionally in the text message that REA sent to me on Friday she stated that a colleague's client offered $430k later that afternoon but as we had made on offer for the property first and put down the 0.25% deposit, that we would proceed and that the colleague's client would be placed on...

Ok. In response to your questions. I only just noticed that there was no date on the contract. This conveyancer comes recommended from a friend who has purchased 8 properties with him/her. I did not know of such a reputation until actually dealing with said conveyancer. An old colleague who...

I'm really confused here. Have we a bad decision? Are we in a cooling off period? I think not but there seems to be some conflicts. Ok so my wife and I like this property and we made an offer by email to the REA. We offered 417k, was told vendor wanted 430k. We counter offered with 420k...

Ok thanks. Sorry, first home purchase and all.

So we've got a preapproval from St George for $700k. We have $200k saved already and have just made an offer for a place of $620k which has been verbally accepted. We pay our 0.25% holding deposit and arrange a building and pest, strata report, solicitor has given an okay on conditions of...
