I have a house in Wellington, country NSW. I bought it 2 years ago and am just totally unable to get any repairs done. I have been trying for 2 years to get the piers repacked and some other stuff.
I have tried multiple builders, they just aren't interested. I don't know whether it has something to do with Centrelink/Cash in hand/ whatever, but no matter what I try I can never get a proper quote and do the work.
The place is rented to community housing to a tenant who has been in there for 20 plus years and pays the rent on time, however she is starting to complain about the condition of the property. The rent covers the costs.
Would you just keep the place and let it go to the dogs or would you sell it and get out? I know other people who own houses in Wellington who are in the same boat (cannot get a painter/repairer/builder, so have to go there on their day off work to paint it themselves, happy days) and they are now giving up and selling out.
