Please excuse my newbie ignorance, but how does one go about doing this:

1. Remove a height restriction caveat – we are looking at $ 600 fees for a 300K jump in value.

Go to the local council?

I think I can summaries the problem in one word…”money”…or the lack of it. or the fact that it’s not infinite! [biggrin]

Is changing a colourbond roof more simple and quicker than changing a tile roof? From the posts, it seems that a colourbond roof can be lifted off and a new one bolted on if there is a need to change.

Thanks

During periods of heavy rain, is colourbond roofing more noisy than tile?

If so, then are there any options to install some noise insulation material in the colourbond roofing so that the noise can be reduced?

Thanks!

Thanks, have just discovered that! [biggrin]

Hi guys,

I’m referring to services like RP Data, propertyvalue.com.au, Home Price Guide etc.

As for the actual valuation of the property, how does one go about arranging for it (sorry I am a newbie so need to ask fundamental questions).

Thanks

Vernon

Hi Richard,

Can you then direct me to the right people to whom I should be speaking to?

Thanks!

jtw,

would your friend be able to give some indication as to the price of building such a property? Also what other costs are there, e.g. insurance etc? that one should be aware of?

Thanks

Hi everyone I have asked around and found out the range of lending from various banks to be between 70% or purchase price (if I obtain finance to buy the vacant land) and 90% of purchase price if I intend to build and can provide a builder’s contract.

So the tenant has %5000 + 156x$145 =$27,620 to credit towards the purchase price if they…[Read more]

Don’t worry, many of the people I assume are either:

1) Not truely aware of your purpose and goals in life or

2) Judge you accroding to the way THEY see the world…or

I am exploring the possibility of purchasing thru Lease Option and would…[Read more]

thanks for the replies John and Dazzling…what 2 contrasting experienced. John, your 2 experiences must have really been a nightmare and it is seriously making me think again…[blink]

As for Dazzling’s neighbour, I think all the neighbours are really gracious and mature…he can count himself to be a lucky guy!

Any banks/lenders giving 106% loans in WA?

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if the builders mentioned above have their own building teams or do they subcontract the jobs to smaller contractors?

Do builders with own building teams work faster than subcontractors?

Which is the safest way to go?

Thanks

This is a great discussion. I have some questions:

1) Must the owner that is offering the property for lease option have paid up the property in full?

2) Related to Q1, can a mortgaged property by put up for lease option?

3) How do I find out how to do lease option in WA?

Thanks
