Just a few tips from a painting amateur.
Minimogul is spot on about preperation.
I might also add not to go cheap…buy good quality brushes and rollers. Cheap ones leave marks and the bloody bristles keep coming out in the paint. Whilst you can pick them out there is always one you don’t find until it’s dry [
]I would also recommend a more expensive paint such as Dulux 101 wash and wear I think it’s called. Goes on better than the cheaper stuff.

If you do sell then consider putting the money into an offset account. Avoid this happening again [

0425 228 985Elysium,
Please forgive me if I have offended you. That was meant to be friendly advice not a suggestion that you were less than honest. I worded it badly as I often do. My fault entirely.
But spreading misinformation? That is a little harsh isn’t it? [
] Everything I have written is true. They are auditing and requiring three months proof.Anyway to move on.
The spirit of the legislation is to assist people to buy a home.
If they purchase a home for a week or a month and then rent it out I would suggest that in some cases it wasn’t really their intention to buy a home at all but to purchase a rental property with the assistance of the FHOG. I wont be knowingly involved in that. I consider it unethical.
I know that the guidelines specify no minimum period.
I also know that the auditors are becoming quite aggressive about targetting people who have misused the FHOG and anecdotal evidence suggests that the period of proof requested is for a three month period. I would hate to think that I caused a client trouble over $7000 because I encouraged him to claim the FHOG for something that was never intended as a home.
I don’t think there would be too much problem if it was occupied for three months from the 11 month period. I believe the reason the act was worder within 12 months was to allow any existing lease to expire before an owner moved in and this could conceivably be for 11 months after purchase.
I am not suggesting that this 3 month period is right or wrong. But it is happening.Once again sorry if I offended you – I never really intended to.
Cheers,

0425 228 985I am willing to offer my BBQ and back yard – I am in New Lambton.
But it would have to be soon as my wife has exams in about 7 weeks and noone wants to be around her when she starts stressing [
!]Otherwise lunch at a pub would be cool too.
