    Hi,

    In NSW you can use a simple transfer form (availabale from some stationary suppliers or stamp duties office). Both parties sign.
    Get a registered valuer for the current property value. Pay the stamp duty for the value of the property share bought now.
    Simple, no need for a solicitor.

    Depending on your understanding of all strata issues, a solicitor may still be advisible.

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    1) The child that drowned across the road was an unrelated incident.
    2) Will have another talk to the neighbours and contact the 6.30pm shows and various newspapers.
    3) Council is now talking to their legal department, as they now know that I have taken the neighbour to court over the pool fencing issue.

    Will post outcome of next court hearing in July. Maybe this time the neighbour shows up and does not send in a ‘sick’ note without the court postponing the hearing.

    Hi Leo,

    It may be obvious, but I always ask for a detailed quote, what materials will be used, how they will be installed, etc. This way it is easy to compare quotes and to check that the correct job was done.

    Thank you to all for their feedback.

    I will most likely go for a medium quality polypropylene carpet in a lighter colour with flecks. This won’t close in the rooms and the flecks won’t show up dirt so quickly.

    It was interesting to note that during initial talks to carpet retailers, most wanted to sell the cheapest and darkest colour they had in stock.

    Of two quotes received, only one retailer was prepared to answer the following questions, to qualify the work carried out.

    I then contacted more retailers with the following questions first up and gave them the choice to contact me. 1 out of 8 replied.

    The Carpet Institute of Australia Limited recommends to ask the following questions when selecting a new carpet.

    1. Broadloom meters required.

    2. Details of the manufacturer, the manufacturers carpet name and the grading registration number.

    3. Why this particular carpet was suggested.

    4. The grade of the carpet suggested (as per an independent carpet grading program such as the Australian Carpet Classification Scheme, the Woolmark/Woolblendmark Scheme, or the Fernmark Scheme).

    5. Details about how stain proof the carpet is, eg against wine, shoe polish, bleach, coffee, mud, cordial, grease, crayons ink, beetroot, mustard and pet stains.

    6. Weight (ounce per square feet/meter)

    7. The type of underlay best suited to the carpet and particular installation.

    8. Installation plan, addressing issues such as:
    a) Layout
    b) Location and number of joins
    c) How joins will be made
    d) Installation direction

    9. Details of Warranty

    One a final note, all suppliers seem to give warranty on their workmanship but not on the carpet itself, as it is a rental.

    Terry & Rob,

    Thank you for your advice. Will check out the reference.

    Have looked at the cost for filing an application for extension and then filling for review. Each costs as much as what my additional expenses would be for the fence. Probably put this one down to experience.

    Nevertheless will pursue the council for not enforcing a safe pool fence.

    As for the discrimination, am weighing up my options of filing a complaint for initial assesment myself and if it progresses involve a solicitor or go with a solicitor straight away.

    Looking at all the legal forms I have seen so far, choosing a solicitor straight away is probably best.

    Any suggestions who to use for a discrimination complaint?

    Rob, hope you have recovered well and are as good as you can be.

    WBTnow.

    Thanks.
    As usual, did the obvious things last.
    Such as checking the forums or web.

    Hi,

    Just spoke to the gentleman on 0402226685, who appeared quite helpful and will send out info.

    Please NOTE the landline number quoted by kay henry is wrong.

    The correct numbers you can phone are:
    0243420855 (and not 0085)
    0402226685
    0402226659
