May as well wrap this thread up....it was left a bit open ended.... 30th of November was the day we received a copy of the title deeds confirmed we were the registered proprietors. Those who thought the debacle would fix itself within the first couple of days were slightly out. From...

....another week has ticked by and still no resolution. They actually took the paperwork down to the Titles office in Sydney and the Chief Examiner picked 'em up over 7 words in section J of the Transfer. Hmmm. NAB Banker scratches his head and does a turn-a-round. Calls up my...

....another week has ticked by and still no movement at the Bank. They have the docs, they have legs....but alas have not quite been able to co-ordinate both to go down to the Titles Office as yet. I swear, there are many reasons why they are working there and not competent business...

....nothing concrete has happened as yet mystery.... She's just another day in property limbo paradise.

Cheers Lizzie, Yeah took off on a ride yesterday, and today...it was good to get out there. Plenty of hair flying everywhere. Ask the Melbourne crew. They reckon I look more like Chubacca from Star Wars than anything else. (I didn't have my kaftan on that night, so they probably got the...

Nope, that didn't happen.... Thank the Lord we don't need to go down that ugly path. They just located all the documents in what they call their "security packages"....which are apparently the nice little neat bundles of papers they wrap up after registration at the Titles Office. Didn't...

Hate that over-used saying..."At the end of the day, I get in my PJs and go to sleep." Yes it is. I am fully accountable for all of the failures and rejoice in my successes. I put nothing down to luck and blame no-one but myself.

I knew some wise @$$ would pick me up on that when I wrote it. I paused for a sec but couldn't for the life of me think of anyone more modern. I bet the 23 yr old wet behind the ears bloke at the Bank was wet behind the nappy when said lady was in her prime. No doubt they'd have a policy...

Cheers Player, can't do anything else other than hang in there. I'm confident we'll get to the other side, it's just wading thru this muck again after you thought you were safely on the beach hi and dry is a little uncomfortable. As I mentioned previously, an internal audit team from the...

No Simon, I'm not after recriminations or apology letters or any of that gumpf. I just want people who are being paid to be and supposed to be acting for my best interests to actually put my interests in front of their own. I'm not interested in bettering their industry, I'm not after...

.....yes well JGG, you've obviously picked up, along with a few others, that after all my years dealing with solicitors, I am still unable to discern and discriminate between what a "good" solicitor is and what a "not-so-good" solicitor is. Heaven help someone selecting a solicitor on their...

As expected, having a busy morning trying to co-ordinate both Bankers and solicitors in Sydney. Banker informs me that he has the entire settlement dept looking for the paperwork, but so far they have come up empty handed....not what I wanted to hear. He did say that naturally there have...

That pretty much sums it up JIT. I'm embarrassed more than anything that I didn't double check what my solicitor said and wrote to me. My underlying assumption when he wrote "congratulations, settlement has now occurred" was that our company name was now supplanted as the registered...

Agreed Pete, when I finally get to see all 9 title deeds all confirmed with our name plastered over them, then yes, I'll probably sit back and have a laugh as well. There will probably be a sigh of relief first though. That's exactly what it feels like sitting here at the mo'.

Thanks for answering some of my questions Kristine. You've given me some comfort that all is still OK from an income and tax / depreciation angle. Let's hope so, I'll still need to chat with my accountant to confirm. The legal side of things is an unmitigated **** up. Let's hope so...

That is happening concurrently on our current acquisition. Tenant wants to remove a caveat from the title, but the company whose name is on the caveat has an incorrect ACN. Totally different company. Big company Victorian solicitor firm mistake. As geoffw said, it seems to happen so...

No, they had a quite substantial mortgage. In the cheque split at settlement, the vast bulk of the funds "we" paid over was to a big 4 Bank to pay back their mortgage. The 3 investing partners received fairly modest cheques as their final payout figure from the investment. The only clue...

Consequences.... Thanks for your thoughts and comments. Quite a staggering turn of events. Having had a few hours to reflect and get over the shock, coupled with the fact it is a weekend and no-one can do anything about it just now, I still don't quite know what to think. I just sent...

Shocked - literally shocked. Stunned might be a better word. Quietly sitting at home this morning monitoring my property-web of affairs. All systems go, all 8 leg monitors at full stretch poised for the slightest twitch, felt nothing untoward, no foul weather on the horizon, all looking...
