I am in Bayswater (Victoria), mail out can be organized.
I am open to offers.

just an update on the above situation.
My solicitor had told me that we are up for a loss of deposit and any costs if the property sold subsequently at a lesser price if we rescind on the sales contract.
i had submitted a revised offer of reducing the selling price by the cost of building access (road and bridge), the seller  didn't agree with the…[Read more]

I have tried gumtree and contacted people who are looking for a property but find that only about one in ten people seem to respond to my emails.
those that do were a waste of time.
so advertising on gumtree has been a non-event.
tried also the QLD real estate agent for $60 (one month), also total waste of time and she didn't bother in putting any…[Read more]

My solicitor has requested we seek a barristers' opinion, still waiting to hear from him.

thanks for advice.
Yes we are getting a legal opinion.
I have rung for quotes and the cost will be up to $50,000 of building a private access, which is probably the preferred option.
The vendor has purchased elsewhere, so may be open to compromise.
I think that given the non-disclosure, we paid too much and it will always be an issue, should a…[Read more]

well, maybe, we brought the property assuming access is in place.
there is about 150 m of road to build in addition to a culvert or bridge across a very wide and deep creek bed.
so cost will be significant.

thanks Paul, only looking at a one of at present.
So it will have to be a possible rent to buy.

don't go for anything "managed", you are not in control and avoid student apartments at all costs.

having paid off our home loan quite some time ago, I used my home for a line of credit.I find it an excellent product for it's flexibility and the ability to have wages and rent paid into it.

Great idea, there are spruikers posting the same  thing under multiple topics.also, this section could be used by members selling CD's, books or second hand investment related products, even property they wish to sell.

the land is usually leasehold but the lease is registered at the titles office.At least that's the case with the cabin I own.It's a 99 year lease and all legally set out.

buy your own home with cash and use  it later as a line of credit to buy other assets such as another property or shares.The loan then becomes tax deductible.

Depends on who owns the web site, I happen to believe that private sellers should be allowed to market/sell their own propertyas well.The web site remains the most widely accessed one by buyers, so yes, it keeps those wishing to sell privately out of it.Therefore, it restricts our advertising options.Unless of course, you find a licensed agent who…[Read more]

No experience of them, but My home is for sale, can list it on the realestate.com.au website I've listed on the noagent property web site,  got 2 to 3 enquiries per week.when I sell my family home in this year, I plan to list with lawyersrealestate.com.au.One of the difficulties we have, is not being able to list on the realestate.com.au web site…[Read more]

the nanny state is well and truly alive.we are all paying for it, how else are you going to control the masses!

stop blaming brokers or any one else for your situation, we should all take charge and be responsible for ourselves.sometimes circumstances change and to lighten the burden, your only choice is to reduce debt, before it's taken out of your hands.

for rental reasons, you would be best to have it neat and tidy, good curtains, air conditioning, tidy up the garden etc.If it's your own permanent residence, it might be different as regards outside render.I think the outside look is usually not that relevant to the average tenant.

agree Linar, i guess it comes down to the fact that communication should have been much clearer.I was also very distracted by work pressure , busy job interstate.So I really didn't give myself time to consider everything more carefully (my fault).In retrospect, it's surprising that there was no discussion, as there should have been about what the…[Read more]

The property had apparently 4 offers all in a close range, none of which I saw.The RE agent rang me and went through all the offers(late one night), I provisionally said yes to one without  giving myself time to think about it or discuss with my husband.After we had time to think about it over the weekend, we declined the offer(s), still sight u…[Read more]

thank you all for replies.I am very familiar with fair trading and real estate institute.At this point I've not had a reply from the agent from my letter.I will probably leave it be but any future sales I might undertake will not ever be in this way again.
