Eljay,
It stinks, but after personally taking the LTO to court over Land Tax issue which we lost (even though we had all the facts and logic on our side), I wouldn’t hold out much hope. Hope you can get a revaluation.Yo Ho Samwise

Samwise replied to the topic New offer after building inspection in the forum General Property 20 years, 6 months ago
My understanding is that the contract stands as is – you can’t renegotiate the price. However you can make requisitions on the existing contract that the seller fix whatever – the seller has the right to accept these requisitions or he can pull out.

Hi Jo
Steve advised me not to take out too much equity in your ppor – 30% mortgage at most. You don’t want to end up losing your home. I have refinanced my IPs so they stand on their own and some are mortgaged 105%, so if anything happens I won’t be bankrupt.
I don’t think you need to put a figure on what you owe, just take care when you set…[Read more]Samwise replied to the topic Chan the Moderator in the forum Forum Frolic 20 years, 6 months ago

Thanks for your reply Monopoly – Does anyone else think a property is sold on exchange of contracts?
I agree that any amount for deposit is ok if seller agrees. The purchaser is still liable for the full 10% if he reneges on contract. – Usually states this in the contract.Yo Ho Samwise

Nice to hear people’s plans/dreams for retirement. I agree that you never retire so much as keep busy doing things you like and hopefully earn enough to live on. I’m an older member of the forum – 50 – which is ancient to some people here I know. I just wanted to let you know my experiences

Jerzy, Sorry if I misconstrued your intentions. I’ve been a swinging voter in the past and have no leanings one way or the other – except for now -as I stated Labour stinks – their mismangement of our money results in a sneaky tax being introduced.

I would have given him the $5000 for sheer bare faced cheek. After all, we all know how hard real estate agents work for their (many thousands of) pittance(s).

Thanks, Rugbyfan,
It depends what you think the formula should be – as long as it pays the mortgage and gives a small return on top (using opm )then can’t be too bad. I don’t think you’ll find 13% these days. But let me know if you do – and where – I’m into renovating properties and onselling.Warm regards,
