Another thing.. Why is "the Block" a part of Redfern? IMHO it should be considered Darlington with Regent Street being the border. Redfern station should be ranamed Darlington Station..

I would vote for him as well! I rent out my 2nd bedroom and I have not had anyone since November last year. And I am very selective, I wait for family or friends to recommend someone and I never advertise. I had someone lined up but they rang last night and said they changed their mind. I bet it...

I was told $413,500. If true - WTF!!! Anyone know what happened @ 10 Telopia?

I will be at Walker Street for the auction. I think it will be one of the most interesting auctions in the area for a while. I wonder if anyone will bid? And if so whats the reserve going to be? I really can't see much over 300 but who knows?

I inspected 40 walker street on Saturday. The smell was not that bad. I thought it was a marketing gimmick giving out the face masks. My estimate would be 290-310. 320 tops. The stairs were truly disguisting. They were very dodgy and soaked in urine. I had a shower and put my clothes in...

A mate is interested in 40 walker!! He is looking for a cheap house that needs work. Hmm is it fixable? I road past on my bike this arvo and it looked ok from the outside. I didn't like walker st, to much commission. Are they removing some of the commision? Probably will look at it on...

Plenty of natural lighting. Maybe a little to much though (I like the dark!!). I liked the laundry. Would make a good home office. Compared to the shop: I am not a huge fan of the style of the shop. I really did not like it much so maybe I am not the best person to ask. If I had the...

Yep I inspected 10 Telopia Street. Was very nice. The car parking is out the front. Knock down the front fence, pull out the garden and a car will fit. hmmm. The attic (main bedroom) was beautiful. The kitchen was strange and made the living area feel small. I heard the agent say $850. Hmm...

Peter, To our knowledge it did not. Could be worth checking domain tommorrow to see if anything is mentioned. I shall have a chat to some of my neighbours if possible and see if I can find out what happened:cool:

I did not notice the car space mentioned on Mcgrath's site. Hmm I will check this one out ASAP and see where it is... The place a few doors down (towards Baptist) was excellent. An original Victorian terrace nicely rennovated mixing victorian and modern design. The difference between the...

Quite possibly the agent did not know the reserve. The vendor only needs to tell the auctioneer so maybe the agent was as confused as the rest of us. 10 Telopia is just near the little park at the corner of Telopia and Burke. The front is grey and its a modern terrace (built around 2 years...

10 Telopia Street. http://www.mcgrath.com.au/buying/index.cfm?propid=12671&fuseaction=buyingview&CFID=6902487&CFTOKEN=62627874&propertytype=3&suburbid=1722&sortby=price&displayed=0 Looks nice.

I just checked Mcgrath's site and they no longer list 73 Baptist as for sale or sold. I shall check if the sign is still up asap. Hmm I wonder if they withdrew it after the bad publicity in the domain on saturday.

They are nuts. I was guesing a 1 million reserve but 1.1!?!?!?!? Damn, they have no idea what their place is worth. On a Happier note, a house sold in Kepos Street yesterday for $755,000. It was last sold a bit over 2 years ago for if memory serves $535,000.

I though it was a disgrace that the owner says 775-875 in the ads and then set the reserve higher that $971,000. I hope the bidders come to their senses and make the owner struggle to get even close to 970. No way that house was worth nearly a million. Edit: I shall be hoping that a for...

Great. More units - Just what Sydney needs:P The ACI site is actually Waterloo. Waterloo, the suburb that makes Redfern look like Point Piper:)

Julie, you have got me interested in 66 Marriot street. I shall be having a look on the weekend and then walk straight to 40 Kepos for another inspection. From the pictures 66 looks very very interesting, hopefully it will give me some ideas for my place:) I think Kepos is the best street...

I inspected 40 Kepos as well (Thursday). It seemed a little sterile to me, it seems to have lost its Victorian feel, which disappoints me. I thought 81 Baptist was better but then again it is in Baptist Street, which ain't Kepos. I really do not understand why people renovate the internals...

40 years ago Paddington was a dump. No one would want to admit they lived there. Sorry paddo was a hole and improved to the nice suburb it is today. Just as Redfern is improving atm. And Paddo would have some commision as it is the policy of the Dept of Housing to have residences in every...

:( Thats the catch Kepos and Great Buckingham are regarded as the best streets so when a place comes up the bidding goes nuts. (Anyone hear about the 70's house auction?). I hope they clean up near the block but if I get an IP I could not afford the risk of having a bad tennant that would...
