Sometimes, you get rid of your stars as well. Why? They have done their job – reap the rewards from these and concentrate on new strategies etc. There may be an upside in keeping the underperformers eg. is the area about to go through boom times etc? 

Chase your conveyancer – they should be able to advise and order the documents that you require. Otherwise ask your mortgage broker/bank.

Just because you have an offer on the table with a minimal deposit doesn't mean that you need to accept the terms of the offer – your counter offer will reiterate that the deposit must be %, price $Y, settlement can be Z days (throw them a bone).

Interesting that commission is payable upon the sale going unconditional – is this the agent's form or the REI standard form or a special condition? Either way, this means that you are parting with $$$ before settlement and the agent walks away being fully paid upon exchange of contracts. 

Your only leverage with the purchaser will be through your solicitor – contact them asap to advise of your rights. If you accept $500 in lieu of 10%, this is a change to the terms of the contract of sale and you will only be entitled to the amount of the deposit unless you sue for completion or loss of value if you subsequently sell for less.

What is the motivation? ie do you have an expectation of a capital gain or rental return?

How large a block do you intend? You will have to maintain the block (even if vacant) eg slashing, weed control, fencing, erosion control etc.

In some circumstances, the annual rates will exceed the purchase price.

Have the wall vents been infilled/covered over (these are the ones at ceiling level)? Try a dehumidifier.

Save the pictures to the web eg: google my drive. Then use the picture logo to upload on your response.

It’s not Liverpool, Bankstown or Punchbowl. The suburb has a station etc.

Does it have a reputation that you have heard about?

You have to refer back to your original lease and inspection reports (no point downloading a lease which the tenant hasn't signed). Your rights are limited to deducting the cost of making good the damage. The next tenant will probably do exactly the same thing if you remove the hooks.

Jamie, it has been years since you had to buy leases from the Newsagent in NSW, only downloadable or direct from fairtrading.nsw.gov.au website.

Which state?

You might have a bit more luck with one who is located closer to the NSW/Vic border – say someone in Albury/Wodonga region.
