    Water $500 (we pay this even though we don't have to in Victoria)
    Plumb & Elec $370
    mirbou staining $550

    The previous year is similiar.

    Hey Holls – congrats on the progress you are making, very inspiring! So did your hubby actually live in the house/was his name on the title? Kind regards, Maree

    I'd swap your scenario in a heart beat – our bank valuation came back $15k less than what we paid for it 2.5 years ago and we sunk $50k into reno's.
    Furthermore, a few weeks later we had a cold call from a local real estate agent for a client who was interested in the property (it's not for sale) offering $50k more than the bank val.

    Hey – did the agent do a inspection last month (6 monthly) if so what was the outcome that?

    If on vacation the house isn't left clean (ie carpets cleaned) then you can recoup costs from bond money. This can be a grey area though as your definition of clean maybe a million miles away from person x's definition of clean. It normally meets at "Y" in the middle.

    Does the money you put down for the option become part of the agreed purchase price or is extra? Is there a formula to work out the percentage of $ for an option?

    My taste is I would like a clear glass splashback and be able to see the bricks – is that an option at all?

    ph. 1300 725 258 website catalystps.com.au. I think they may be QLD based – we used them for a property in Paynesville. They were around $700 – not sure if that is good or bad?
