hi brunowa,
I am a bricklayer/concretor.
Concrete cancer is when moisture is absorbed by the concrete and the steel isnt installed far enough into the slab/footing.
This moisted corodes the steel reinforcment and makes it crack/move then later expand. Cracking the concrete around it. I would stay right away from anything with cracked slabs and exposed steel. because all the steel reinforment in slacks/footings/blockwork is linked it will just spread and you will never fix it.
Have you ever had concreteing done? Its not cheap mate.Hope that helps anyways.
HI DWolfe,
Im a bricklayer in brisbane and when i was "doing my time'', i did quite a few subdisions/6 packs townhouses.
Depends on your budget and where your looking at buying.
For a simple subdivide just splitting the block i recommend:
In brisbane i would recomend mitchelton/ashgrove/nundah/sandgate. They are located on the north side of brisbane mainly made up of queenslanders and post war homes and are usually on larger blocks. Prices range from about 400-600k.
OR
You could buy in redcliffe are which is located about 30 mins north of brisbane. Areas like kippa ring/woody point/scarborough/clontarf. Prices there are considerably lower.
I havent had much to do with the southside so i cant really help you there.If you were looking for a much larger scale. Theres not much left close to town so youll probably have to look about 20-30 mins out of brisbane at areas like Deception Bay/caboolture/dayboro. Its very cheap out there. The neigborhoods have a bit of a bad reputation but i live there and have never had a problem.
I have also been looking on realestate.com.au and house prices in toowomba are very cheap. The blocks are quite large.
Hi guys,
Thanks for your advice it is greatly appreciated, as i know your all probably busy people and get nothing from shareing your knowledge so people like me can benefit. I guess i'll just keep trolling the forums trying to take in as much as i can.
Thanks again
Rhys
