I'm trying to get a rough idea on how to work out the capital gain on an investment property I've sold. I understand the selling price is the price I sold it for less agent commission etc. But it's the price I bought the property for that's confusing me a little. So I bought the property for...

I thought I would bump this up and say that I have resolved the problem. Brisbane City Council had a "termite certificate" which satisfied the buyer. Council obviously keep a record of their inspection at the time of the slab going down. Just like kinga said! It was one of those Kordon barriers...

I am selling a 2 year old townhouse (1 in a block of 5) which I have signed contracts on. I have hit a hurdle with the pest inspection conducted by the purchaser. The pest inspector has not found any indication of a termite barrier that should have been installed by the builder. From what I...

Ahh...I got the lectures! Anyway guys, thanks for your thoughts. They are really appreciated. But obviously no-one has had any dealings with this mob, other than one person who has emailed me. I am not a newbie at investing. I have one IP already in Bribane which was bought through...

This company are advertising quite heavily on Sydney radio, and I have arranged a meeting in a few days. They seem to concentrate on houses only, in mainly Brisbane and Melbourne. but not close to the CBD. They also have a 5 yr lease back arrangement. They provide (or you can do it yourself) an...
