Investig8, I've lost count of the McHappy Meals I owe you, oh and the Sweet and Sour Sauce. Well you said I could use it!!! Go and have a McHappy Meal and send me the bill for my consideration and approval ...I'll need a break down though. That update/break down of professional fees is more...

In NSW a proposed purchaser cannot just willy nilly add their own special conditions to a contract. In NSW your solicitor/conveyance has to write to the vendor's legal representative requesting amendments be made to the contract to include any additional special conditions the purchaser may...

Don't know Bayview, the M dealers said I was not driving long distances only short and that I should drive long distances to charge it. They gave us a new battery and still kept going flat. A friend told me the problem may be the boot light was not turning off when boot closed but had a gut...

Yes well we all do it tough when we start out. My husband used to leave his office job and then do a taxi shift till 3 in the morning so I could be home with the babies. Lucky for him he is a person that does not require 8 hours sleep like some of us (me). We used to joke that he maybe...

I wont tell you what the dealer was charging for services for the "lemon" I had. Battery kept going flat and they advised the problem was I wasn't driving long distances. Can you believe it!!!. Bought it brand new and just traded it in for a brand new Honda four years later (at a loss)...

Am I dead? Reading the above had to laugh. I laughed as its good to know others have the same thoughts. I decided recently to: 1. Optimise happiness and wellbeing 2. Remain fit and healthy; and 3. That I would probably be happier being employed. Thanks MTR. I announced to the...

Hey CAOS why not. Just a reminder you can expect conveyancing fees to go up with the introduction of E conveyancing. You will have to be formally VOI'ed e.g. verification of identity obtained. Either by Post Office or by an approved firm. The firm will call upon you, take your photo and...

My thoughts are that it comes to what overheads a professional has. A solicitor with secretaries, receptionists, rent, paying super for your staff would definitely have to charge enough to meet his overhead costs. However I also think that if you find someone that your happy and confident...

I don't really know what the difference is as the work involved for any particular matter is the same for a sale or purchase. Sometimes a conveyance can have issues which can take up more of the professionals time in particular negotiating the terms and in this regard a solicitor who has not...

Hi all (happy new year, been a while) After reading Colin Rice's comment I suppose it all comes down to preference. What's the point of matching a price. You could probably use a price as a tool to get your preferred conveyance/solicitor on board to do your conveyance. EG. If Myer is...

Wow, niiiice vendor. There you go a lesson to all of us as vendors....be nice to your purchasers. I may actually give it a go myself when acting for a purchaser and I would like to be a fly on the wall when the vendor's representative reads it. Well what harm .... they will either say agree...

To Terry, I don't understand why you would do that to a vendor. If the law allows a vendor to keep the 0.25% if the purchaser exercises their cooling off rights why on earth would you add a clause in the contract otherwise. After all the vendor takes the property off the market while the...

Dear Pass Word, I hate you. I can never remember you as there are so many of you. Every time I have to enter you I have to find the safe place and bit of paper I wrote you on and then when I take a guess and it is wrong I get asked security questions like... Whats the name of the first...

If you have not exchanged you will get it back but if you have exchanged and are cooling off you wont. That is because if you exercise your cooling off rights by rescinding the contract you will forfeit 0.25% of the purchase price....in NSW anyway. Fleur

RPI, I was not aware Qld did not have paper CT. This is going to be something new in NSW and I am aware that LPI here are still meeting with other bodies with regard to CoRD Holders Consents to consider the risk management implications where there is no paper CT to hand over. Apparently it...

Its looking like it will cost more isn't it. And now that I think about it, I expect the banks will charge extra as well for their people to attend the platform. e.g. I expect the discharge of mortgage fee they charge will go up. Fleur

How Much Will You Soon Pay for Conveyancing Well some of us have been waiting for PEXA to announce their fees for e-Conveyancing and the announcement has been made. Practitioners will pay $104.50 incl. of GST for each sale or purchase transaction completed in the PEXA electronic platform...

I bet they stay loyal too. Sometimes you have to throw in a freeby something, but I have never not charged at all although have discounted to friends and friends of friends. Could not charge at all regularly though, you'd go broke wouldn't you. Fleur

All I can say to that is Terry your a legend. However, I was not aware that one can be a mortgage broker and a conveyancer. Mmmm have to look into that one. What have I been missing. I have to say the thought has occurred to me from time to time, as brokers get paid by the banks for the...

Now I am laughing, good start to the day but.... don't do Mcdonalds. I can use that para then. Just out of interest what does a consulting company consult in or with and about what? Fleur
