Thought I'd post this in a separate thread. Want to know if anyone can recommend a good Real estate agent in the Lockridge area-WA? Current PM (or lack there of; she went AWOL) is turning out to be extremely unreliable.

I have an apartment that is managed by Unilodge Realty. The apartment is not allowed to be managed by any other property manager, including oneself. They continuously claim difficulty in finding tenants, so much so that my apartment has been vacant on and off in the last six months I have...

I thought i would open a poll to see what all you property investors consider the most important criteria (and why) when selecting a property management agency: - Fees - Locality - Personality of PM - Personal referral - Specialist PM Agency - Agency name recognition - Other? Thanks

We recently bought a property as a first home buyer. There were tenants living in the property and we decided to keep them there for a few months. We are currently renting in another place. The owner of the unit we are renting has decided to sell the unit. The real estate called me today...

Suing property manager, any recommendations for a solicitor in western Sydney Parramatta area. My local solicitor suggested a person more specialised in this area of law. Know anyone who manages these cases?

I am preparing a claim for negligence against a real estate agent who managed my property. Could you let me know about the time limits for claims? I believe for damages it is 3 years (or is that only the tenancy division) and have read for services provided it is 10years. What is the time...

We have recently been advised our tenant will be breaking the fixed lease (which has 6 more months to the end of the lease). I am aware that the current tenant would be paying all the fees when finding a new tenant, but I would be obligated to offer a new a full 12 month fixed agreement or...

Hi all, can someone recommend a good property manager in Newcastle area. I have come across some real un-professional ones down in Sydney where my son rents (i.e. no inspections in 12 months, would never attend to maintenance issues and treated the tenants like low-lifes - which they are...

I have a tenant who requested that we have the ridge capping on the roof replaced as they said it is loose and cracked.

We have a couple of properties in Mt Sheridan and the current property managers are basically losing interest (? too busy) and we are looking to move. Has anyone had any experience in the area and can they recommend a good agent? I am not demanding but expect if I highlight a lagging rent...
