is it the fence leaning or the wall?

Uretek is a good solution for certain problems but so is underpinning – always consult an engineer for an appropriate solution.

Where possible, investgate previous uses if concerned. Department of Lands can usually help if the area was mined, it should also show on the S149 certificate.

sorry but my crystal ball is cracked atm. Past growth is no indication of future potential of these areas. Just be a bit wary of any price corrections which are overdue in Perth.

By allowing the same agent to sell your house as the one you have purchased, you are giving the agent more power over you in the sale – ie they can put more pressure on you to accept a lower price so that they not only close your sale but prevent the other one falling over so that they collect both lots of commission.

Generally a vendor will not allow a purchaser to insert a sunset clause without a penalty. This is because they have spent money on marketing, attracted several buyers etc but will have lost the momentum should an event outside of their control cause the contract to fail. This is an unacceptable risk which would not be accepted.

pm me doogs.

the option does not give rise to any rights until the purchaser has exercised the option.

You are still the owner, you have to sign any DA (in return for the option fee) , you can still rent out or use the property until settlement if they exercise. If not you have picked up a fee for the right to buy. The beneficiary of the option cannot remove anything until they have possession.

Banks aren't lending on commercial (generally) so it is going to be tough.

You've got 2 options – review your budget to what the market is saying (yes agents do work for the owners so are going to push you away with ridiculously low offers) or get serious. Find a property which IS overpriced at $300k, has been on the market for a while, you have sussed out weeks ago (and has failed at auction/had better offers  or yours previously rejected) and it is still sitting there. Then put in your offer complete with executed contract & waiver – if it is old stock you might get lucky, especially if they want a pre-Christmas sale.

generally there are no penalties against the vendor for late settlement. It is the vendor’s contract not yours.
