    <p style=”font: 13px/20px ‘Open Sans’, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: left; color: #666666; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; background-color: #ffffff; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;”>I’m looking at buying a house as a rental property, however, the dwelling sits on a block which has been subdivided.
    <p style=”font: 13px/20px ‘Open Sans’, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: left; color: #666666; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; background-color: #ffffff; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;”>The house I wish to purchase is the front street-facing property and the rear property is a new double storey townhouse.  Both residences have a shared driveway and each has their own double garage.
    <p style=”font: 13px/20px ‘Open Sans’, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: left; color: #666666; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; background-color: #ffffff; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;”>The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and has undergone recent renovations and has a fairly large front yard.  The house is walking distance to the local shops, doctor’s surgery, Primary School, Parks, Beach, Train Station, take-away shops, freeways and the bus stop is literally out the front of the property.  The property is in the South Eastern suburbs in Melbourne.
