Could you advise how long it would take and how costly it might be to strata a block of 6 units in regional NSW? Has this been successful for anyone? I am looking to split up and sell on some of the block and keep some for rental investment.

Sydney opportunities Hi Oscar as an alternative to Potts Point, have you thought of Jacksons Landing at Pyrmont? Very close to CBD (walking distance) great views of harbour, parking for all units, nice community feel, pet friendly, good amenities and excellent security. We lived there for 4...

Thanks for the responses to my queries re areas in Bathurst to avoid/buy. Brute, is the top end of town essentially the town centre or further out and are there streets that are more rentable than others? The chart is very handy, thanks for that. Vvsingh, rents in Bathurst appear expensive...

Happy New Investing Year everyone! I hope someone on the forum may be familiar with Bathurst and may offer some advice. A recent turn of events has meant that a family member may be enrolling as a full time student at CSU in Bathurst this year. Question: If he and his wife (works full...

Thanks for all the insight from the Brits out there. Local knowledge is invaluable and I appreciate your comments very much. I have to agree about the negative gearing culture that we have become used to in Australia, quite foreign to other investors - see for instance the article in the...

Thank you for your help with my interest in London property. A question for Fudge, why do you think that interest rates are too high to invest at the moment - HSBC has just released a 1.99% loan fixed for 2 years. Agreed, the 40% deposit required is steep, but wow, we can't get a rate like that...

Thanks for the info Cath. I am a UK resident and have a daughter based in London. I am looking in Central London for best CG and rental return. What are your thoughts on the vacancy rates at the moment and possible areas to concentrate on? Thanks again.

I am looking for information re the current status of RE in and around Central London. Does anyone know of authoritative websites where I can find what property last sold for, areas to research, maybe an excellent RE agent, info about mortgage lending, in fact, anything about investing in...

can anyone tell me exactly what 2C2 means when applied to residential areas within Ku-ring-gai council's juristiction? Thanks

Thank you for all your replies. I suspect that the mattress in question is due for replacement and would do so in a heartbeat if we were continuing to rent this apartment furnished. If we sell it then we will remove the furniture, and if it doesn't sell then we will still remove the furniture...

We have a new tenant in our furnished unit in inner Sydney. He has asked for a new mattress for the master bedroom. Since he only has a three month lease and the unit is on the market, I am reluctatnt to buy anything else for this property but want to be fair to this tenant. Two questions: do I...

Does anyone know of a comparable property investment forum such as this in the UK or Ireland?

Thanks for the replies, I feared as much. I have been researching this and have found eligibility requirements a little ambiguous - hence the question to the forum. I understood the part about both applicants for the grant needing to be first home owners but couldn't find anything about if...

Yes, I own property jointly with my husband.

Hi everyone This is probably a well-worn subject, but can you explain the rules regarding two buyers buying a property together, and the eligibility of one applying for the First Home Owners Plus grant in NSW? I am thinking of sharing the purchase with my daughter, who meets all the eligibility...

Thanks for the replies. I decided against eBay because of the time it would take to itemise each piece in the various different categories - I need a job-lot approach. I would be happy to give the furniture away to the Salvos or Vinnies but I understand that they no longer pick up and won't take...

Can anyone recommend a property manager on Sydney's lower Nth Shore?

Happy New Year to everyone. Has anyone needed to sell second hand furniture in Sydney? I can’t have a garage sale, (living in a unit) and am thinking that university notice boards might be the way to go. Is there an online classified ads service for students setting up home? I could furnish a...

Property programs It is good to see property programs reappearing on TV and also on the radio. There seems to be a greater presence in newspapers as well. I am addicted to property shows on Foxtel - even though they are based in UK and Europe. The strategy that the developers have in these...

We are having a unit valued by the bank and I wondered if there anyone had tips on maximising the potential of the property and what information to make available to the valuer. I read the article in API so I know about not getting in the way, and making the property look amazing, etc. I...
