LOL  has been an "interesting" discussion and I thank all of those who took the time to reply to my post.  Maybe the rental increase I just put forward has had something to do with it    I will just pay the bill but make it clear that I would like to be contacted next time it happens before acting on it.   $132.00 for 5 minutes work.  I think that…[Read more]

Hi Popelich

I dont think that there are any specific good or bad areas in Chinchilla.

But as Dubstep mentioned, flooding areas are what you need to watch out for.

Don't believe what the property agent tells you.   I had one a couple of weeks ago tell me that "no, the water came nowhere near that property………."     After further research I…[Read more]

It was actually my Property Manager that asked me on her behalf.

She will be paying for it herself

House prices in Moranbah have dropped.  I had my basic 3 bedroom highrise valued at $720,000 only 4 weeks ago.  The agent told me that he could sell it at this price within 24 hours.   I have been considering selling but it now seems that my house may only be worth $620,000 in "todays" market.   I missed the small window of opportunity I have a…[Read more]
