  • James007 replied to the topic Settlement date postponed by vendor in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 1 month ago

  • James007 replied to the topic Quick Question: How do you calculate depreciation? in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 1 month ago

    Blaze if the property was built before 1987 then you will not be able to claim the building depreceation, QS can i think depreciate things like existing Air Conditioners, Hot Water systems, (Fixtures and Fittings) but if its under a certain combined value then its not worth getting a QS out. Please correct me if i'm wrong guys

  • James007 replied to the topic Settlement date postponed by vendor in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 1 month ago

    Yeah Trakka same property basically my conveyencer sent them a letter saying reduce the price or we will rescind from the contract due to the added date and building inspection  they didnt reduce the price so i got all my documents in to order ready for settlement and informed them on the 31/1/08 that we would be going ahead with the purchase wh…[Read more]

  • James007 replied to the topic Settlement date postponed by vendor in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 1 month ago

    Spoke to my conveyencer basically she said if i dont want to buy the property then i will lose the $500 deposit and the vendors could sue me for loses, which she said would be unlikely given the small deposit. I asked her if she could put me onto a solicitor but she said she deals with the solicitor and they just do paperwork so she has given me…[Read more]

  • James007 replied to the topic Settlement date postponed by vendor in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Trakka we have only put down $500 to date so no big loss in the contract it says "subject to removal of all caveats prior to or on settlement date" this was co-signed by the vendors and myself.

  • James007 replied to the topic Fresh Start: Buy PPOR vs. Rent & Invest? in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 2 months ago

    DepeHey gusdepends on the size of mortgage you will have for the ppor as to weather you are better off renting or buying. Paying $300 plus rent isnt stupid as it may cost you that or more in interest to have a PPOR then you have the principal which you feel you have to pay becuase you need to reduce the debt as its not tax deductible.Contiuning to…[Read more]

  • James007 replied to the topic Agent Secretly changed contract!!!! in the forum My conveyencer is contacting 16 years, 2 months ago

    My conveyencer is contacting the vandors conveyencer with an offer of a price reduction on the property due to certain defects or we do not go ahead with the purchase becuase of the alterartion without authorization.

  • James007 replied to the topic Agent Secretly changed contract!!!! in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 2 months ago

    I can see where you are coming from Trakka, i guess i'm a little jaded about the whole deal as from the start the agents where trying to take advantage of me becuase my partner and i are both younginsh with not a whole lot of experience in RE, i also dont agree with their silent auction type bidding, but then again i made the decision to make an…[Read more]

  • James007 replied to the topic Agent Secretly changed contract!!!! in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 2 months ago

    Hi all basically you guys  are completeyly missing the point the reason why i am negotiating the price down is becuase of the building inspection there are several issues with the property which i have recently recieved quotes for all of which arent huge issues but when you add them up comes to quite a bit more than i actually can afford on the…[Read more]

  • James007 replied to the topic Agent Secretly changed contract!!!! in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 2 months ago

    Spoke with my conveyencer today and i really doubt that he is working for me and not the agent, as he recieves a lot of work from the agent i feel there is a massive conflict of interest. After pointing out the mistake in the contract i told him i would go and have a talk with the agent about it in the mean time he has contacted the agent to tell…[Read more]

  • James007 replied to the topic Agent Secretly changed contract!!!! in the forum Help Needed! 16 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Jon it was done after i signed it possibly when the vendor signed it so if both contracts are not the same they are not legally binding meaning i can walk away without loosing anything. Note the contract was signed on the 28/12/07 so we didnt want a cut off date for the inspection as we didnt know how quickly we could get it done due to holidays etc.
