    Would you buy a Queenslander or a brick/tile home?

    similiar size lots, 500 - 600 maybe the odd 800 m2 lot. new has a lot of plusses, the downside is that you can buy second hand cheaper. I think you might find that a brick veneer house has better thermal qualities than a timber clad one. QLDr's can also be difficult to heat. They are...

    New housing is better

    We build and onsell new homes (so obviously i'm biased :D ), but at least with the new home you have insurance to claim on. Buy an old house with a leaky roof & you will be footing the bill yourself! As to the original poster, yes you save some stamps, but you have to pay interest on the...

    FAQ: How do I buy in a different city?

    We build & sell houses in Crestmead, which is twenty minutes south of Brisbane CBD & about 40 minutes north of Surfers. So far I have not sold 1 house to a local, they have all been people from sydney. Perhaps they are enticed by the fact that they can purchase a brand new 4 bed 2 bath...
