    Hi All,

    just wondering if anyone has recently purchased property in Chinchilla – and if so what are you're thoughts on the area ie – areas that are perhaps not good areas to buy in.

    Cheers

    Hi Popelich

    I dont think that there are any specific good or bad areas in Chinchilla.

    But as Dubstep mentioned, flooding areas are what you need to watch out for.

    Don't believe what the property agent tells you.   I had one a couple of weeks ago tell me that "no, the water came nowhere near that property………."     After further research I discovered that it had 1 meter running through it during the last floods.  

    I contacted the Chinchilla City Council and asked them to send me through a flood map which they happily did also confirming that this particular property had in fact "gone under".   They were very helpful.

    good luck
