I think a distinction could be drawn between being negligence and fraud. If you were to act fraudulently (sp?) I expect the recourses available would be wider and significantly more severe than if you were to act negligently. Also, another layer of protection against negligence is PI insurance. That was where I was heading with the PPoR. We ar…[Read more]

Thanks for the replies.Interesting observation Terryw. I have contributed to the repayment of the loan and other non-financial contributions.

IMO there are generally only two reasons a property doesn't sell. Either the marketing is very poor or the price is wrong – or in the worst instance a combination of the two! As you are clearly dissatisfied with the REA's in your area I would recommend an independent valuation, arrange to meet the valuer if possible and find out info on market r…[Read more]

Stumbled across this site last night and as I’m into cars and property I thought this would be a good first thread to post in!
We tend to buy our daily drivers when they are 18 months to 2 years old and then keep them for around ten years before trading again – this strikes a good balance for us. Currently running a 2005 Mazda 6 and the family…[Read more]
