I went for yet another drive through Mandurah on the weekend…. the changes are amazing. There really is no place with similar attributes that is so easily accessible to Perth. The marina is stunning. Central Mandurah is looking cheap, triplex blocks still available for around $320k. The new releases at places like Madora Bay, Singleton etc are…[Read more]

have you ran any other tenders lately? you may be surprised to find it is just a normal building price these days. but yes locastion and the feel of a ‘5 star’ development can be like a red flag to a bull!

interesting that they are so keen to share in the profits, I wonder if in a bear market they would chip in for a loss?

as Rick pointed out, agents have a legal requirement to bank these funds into their trust account. the agent has nothing to be red faced or apologetic about, they were complying with the law. In future you would be better not to hand those funds over – the offer still states the deposit you will provide.

seems to be in the balance – some economists have made the call.

great – just lost my post… an abbreviated version then:

PPA – prep of plans agreement
APG – a project building company, part of webb brown.

passed copy of post to an architect mate. he says:

“That’s truly @@@@@!. Apart from all the TLA’s (three letter acronyms) that I didn’t get ie PPA, APG, the copyright argument is complete @@@@…[Read more]

gees Dan – big ask. total guesses if I can:

perhaps council and water rates – will only apply to the vacant block untilbuilt, so say $600pa each

surveyors fees – allow say $4000 to cover a prleiminary strata (so you can sell off the plan) and a final building survey so you can submit to planning authority

strata consultants – not sure, say…[Read more]

I could be wrong but… I should think the plans are his. You will need to pay an architect to come up with a new design incorporating your ideas and resubmit them. I don’t think copyright rules would flex based upon how unfair it was to you that he upped his construction price… as much as it does sound he is ripping you off. WA building costs…[Read more]

pretty sinple – to make a profit you fill the demand. you need grouped dwelling or fast construction housing at a price that leaves you a healthy margin. otherwise clean the spare room out and let it

is a pity these records can’t go back further. UK housing records also provide interesting reading.

it is interesting the different conclusions you can reach. I would have concluded that over time capital gains are pretty consistent and whilst these adjusted figures indicate a little higher than the long term trend, that property is still a very…[Read more]

personally I would save the money and use excel.If you dont know how to use it just ask another property investor who would probably give you a copy of their own spreadsheet.

I believe the upward spiral in prices is not a post WWII phenomena and that it actually goes back pretty much to the beginning of record keeping.
