hi about to sign up a R/E to sell an investment place with tenant in Vic. What costs are fair for: - advertising - R/E fees - other fees? Also, what do i need to be aware of when signing a contract with the R/E? - is it a standard REIV form? - things to make sure are / aren't on...

im new to this issue with land tax but expect to come across it shortly. Would you apply after for an adjustment to SRO? I have just paid land tax in victoria for an investment property up till end of the year. i plan to sell it shortly and understand you apply for an adjustment from...

its in your interest to re-key all locks and cheap to do so. Good insurance!

Hi retaining wall went over in a storm. I need an engineering plan for the replacement, as its about 1.3m high. Its Frankston area. Planning to replace existing with H section and sleepers. Appreciate any advise and recommendations. thanks Nic

relative had the same thing happen recently. was replaced under warranty with no issues.

I havent compared detail in PDF yet but have heard Terry scheer doesnt pay out as much for an 'event' compared to others. Could this be why they are also about $200 cheaper? Currently I have AAMI whom I am leaving as they have removed cparpets, curtains etc and you now need to take out extra...

Building AND landlord insurance I am currently looking to change insurance also. Anyone have AAMI Landlord and Building with the recent policy changes - i suggest read the changes, as carpet, curtains etc are not covered on the new policy they offer for the same name! Up until now we have...

Propertunity, thanks for the quick response. What would be considered the appropriate notice please? and timeframe? as it would appear to me that I have no grounds on the basis of wanting to only keep a tenant with a fixed term lease. thanks, Nic.

I have been informed by my R/E property manager that if the tenant does not give 28 days notice to end the current 12 month fixed term lease, then the tenant can stay on after the fixed term expiry, and the lease automatically becomes a periodic lease. Is this correct? This then puts me at...

Bandicoots - are they good for Ugg boots? I would have thought the locals would have wiped them out by now. Any word on the impact of the footy club and parking for the locals? Nic.

This is true. Have to part with it sooner or later:mad: On the other hand house price of $335,000 increasing at 2% / year goes up in value about $560/month, so I have made over $300-400 after the tax man:) Nic.

The issue is not of finance approval. This is fine. I just hoped to not have to pay out interest on my loan in the short term, and also to make sure no one else makes interest on it for the same time. Yes, I am borrowing 100% plus costs. I have 80% loan against the IP, and 20% plus costs and...

Would I have any chance in delaying paying the 5% until settlement? I expect in doing so will not bother the estate agent. It might make the seller get edgy though! (Settlement is only one month later). thanks, Nic.

I wish to know if I pay 5% deposit under the terms of my purchase contract, and the remainder at settlement, who gets the interest on my 5%? Is this negotiable after the contract is signed, so I do not have to pay interest on my loan for the 5% in this period? thanks, Nic.

Tyron, thanks for the info. Noticing your webpage, what would I be looking at to get a schedule setup, assuming I am not able to get hold of receipts from the current owner? What steps are involved in doing so also? My dad is a quantity surveyor, however not in this field. He...

G'day. I am looking at purchasing a 1972 house in Melbourne which has recently had the bathrooms and kitchen re done. As the house is pre 1985 how much do I loose out on the house depreciation? Is it even worth considering in a purchase as compared to the savings on a new house/land etc...

DIVIT, I am one of two people I know dealing with Lancer currently, and for the first time. Email me directly if you like to discuss what I have found so far. I have paid the two fees, being up to about $2000. I have also got a block taken of the market, awaiting contracts for both land...

G'day, I am in the same position. I have looked at Custodian Wealth Builders and Lancer group. Since, I have paid about $2000 to Lancer to do my looking etc. with reference to 'the criteria' (as they all say they do). They say they are acting for you, however they get paid well...

Does anyone know why REIQ does not have suburb profiles for very active areas such as Ipswitch? Seems to be a trend. thanks, Nic.

Can someone with Ipswitch current knowledge paste a suburb profile here? current selling prices? land? land/house package? block sizes rental etc how large is the suburb - a mini Geelong? thanks, Nic.
