Hi, I looked at buying just a few months ago in Adelaide also.However, I found much better bargains out in the suburbs. I personally think there will be problems reselling them in a few years time as there are new apartments being built all the time and they are constantly bigger, better,with carparking space, security, gyms, pools etc etc.
Just…[Read more]

My opinion is that the white stains really badly over time, beetroot, bleach etc.They tend to end up yellowing! I personally don’t think you can beat a sink that has been polished with metho or windex just prior to an open inspection.

good luck

We asked the estate agent what we could do and he told us a “letter of bank guarantee for the deposit” is very acceptable. This method has to be approved by the owners though prior to auction.In our case it was a mortgagee sale and they had to…[Read more]

My first advice is to treat as asbestos until you know for certain.
Secondly, In the past, asbestos material was used in some insulation materials and should be removed by experts in this field. If you are concerned that your insulation may be of this type ask an accredited contractor to check the material for you.

“I have been told the cost to remove all fibro from a 3 b/room house by a Licensed asbestos remover will be at least $5,000”

Well it is a small price to pay for your family to see you grow old.. Home renovators and the general public just don’t understand the dangers.
It only takes one minute piece of fibre to cause asbestosis or mesothelioma

hi, just wanted to let you know my mother had no trouble getting a home loan last year at 72! She went through Home-start cetainly not for everyone however, at least she was able to get a new place of her own after her and her partner split.It has now increased in value by $30,000 so beats paying rent.
