vbplease, my solicitor hasn't gotten back to me regarding the 1k deposit. He said he will try to get it back. Properties are going quite quickly. I am struggling to make a decision to be honest. It is a big call given most contracts are being signed even before any inspections. For those of...

Thanks Alan and Tez. I will make sure that I make an informed decision. I would consider areas further out west as well. We saw a villa for 315k in Girraween today. We were more inclined to get it for 305k - 310k. Thought the agent was quite cut throat about it. I guess we wanted in that price...

Please elaborate :)

Thanks Alan and Tez! No I won't be surprised :)! My sister is adamant that we don't buy anywhere but Toongabbie, Girraween and Pendle Hill. On the other hand, I think we should consider further out west like Quakers Hill and Penrith because there won't be any issues renting a place out...

Hey Alan! Thank you heaps for your reply! I really appreciate it :D! I'm glad I figured out now and not 4 days later when the cooling off is over. How did you know my background :D ?? You were close! My grandparents were born in India :)!

Thank you rugrat! :) I agree. I felt so much more relieved tonight when I figured I really don't want to do this! I'd lose 1k but oh well, better than being stuck with 3k strata per year. Poor agent was getting two sales for us (my sis and I) from the same builder. Pity the other ones valuations...

Hi All, As a FHB I signed a contract on a new 2 bedroom apartment in Westmead for 375k with a 10 day cooling off period in time for the 24k grant. Initially I was okay with the place until I found out the strata was around $745 pq. Although I was reluctant to get into it however the agent...
