Which explorers discovered the area (Batman? Hume? Hovell? etc)

Usually the best option is to sell first then buy as you are free of your mortgage for a while otherwise the agent will put additional pressure on you to take a low ball offer to close the deal and you will lose out.

This morning, the +1 didn't like where the house sat on the block so I moved it 3" to the left

Never been advised to do it – I may have an equitable interest in the property but until full restitution is made (or a massive price adjustment provided) there'd be no way I would be able to settle – 1) bank would pull finance 2) my insurer would not pay out on something that I didn't own 3) property is not in the same condition as when inspected…[Read more]

I’ll put my hand up for 1 bedders in low rise buildings as well. Steer clear of the shared laundry scenario.

Check your management agreement as it may state that the agency is entitled to a commission.

Try fullkit.com.au might have something
