Hi
I'm stressing out! I have a lot to do in the next couple of weeks and I need advice and help. I figured its probably best just to make one big topic and put all my pre settlement questions here. Cos there will be a few!
Settlement is set for December 1st.
I'm really happy about this because I thought it was going to be later than this.
As I think of things to talk about i'll post in here. It just all seems a bit overwhelming.
I am having tomorrow off so I can make some phone calls, prepare and organise myself. Now that I have a concrete date for settlement I can start arranging appointments for tradies.
Question # 1
Would it be safe to book the painter, the handyman, the insulation guy, the air con installation guy for the 1st week of December seeing that i settle on December 1st. What are the chances settlement would be held back? My settlement agent said settlement would definately be Dec 1st.
It would be great if I could get all the work that needs to be done completed in that first week of December and then the tenant can move in during the 2nd week of December. Is 1 week long enough to get all the work done?
Perhaps I could say in the ad, ip will be available December 13, so that way i know all works will be completed by then. But also maybe Dec 13 is too close to christmas and would be hard to get someone wanting to move at that date. Perhaps I could make it December 7th.
Please help What time frames do you guys look at?
I will be seeing my property manager on Friday. I'm thinking she will need to start advertising ASAP
Question # 2
The insulation guy is coming on Friday morning. The agent says he will let me in and leave the keys with me and then i just need to return them to his office. I'm thinking whilst im in the unit this would be a good opportunity to check things over in the place. Make a list of work that needs to be carried out. Take measurements so i know what size air con to get.
Any tips on what else i could look at whilst I am there?
