ps…..the reason why no acre blocks have ever sold in this area is because there are only about 10 in existance in this area and since they were all built upon approx 9-10 years ago not one property has tried to be sold.

Thanks for your reply RHPlanning. I think this is half my problem – there's no available data on this type of property as no properties onacre blocks have ever sold in this area. Even after speaking to a couple of agents it's very hard to know how much this property will sell for at the end of the day. Any ideas how I can be a bit more specific w…[Read more]

Hi Linda,We moved here from Ellenbrook (ha ha huge move I know) but we're really loving it.

Hi Guys,
Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to offer some really great suggestions.

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 23:47:23 +0000

If we went halves on the land value and they pay out the contract price of the house then we would only make money from the increase in value of the land? Is this correct? If so, then it would definitely be in our better interests to ride out the next 6 months until the property is completed and then sell so that we benefit from the increase in…[Read more]

Yes VALE is doing very well in the Swan Valley.
We bought a block there 6 months ago for $115,000 and the same sized blocks are now selling for around the $150,000 marks.
Looks like there are good quality homes being built there to add to the value as building restrictions are fairly tight.

We have a 2 bed unit that we’re asking $140,000 for and is currently tenanted until at least July 2005 at $220 per week.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your reply. Yes we have had the plans drawn up already so that as soon as we get a plan number we can get the ball rolling, however if it’s in our better interest to hold off building the house in order to do another little money spinner along the way then we’re happy to do that.

Yes we signed the lease because it doesn’t affect us if the air conditioner breaks down since it’s still under warranty.

It’s not the piddly amount that’s the issure here. What I’m asking is if it’s legal for a landlord to pick and choose what they will and won’t repair. As for it being nearly winter – we will be renting here for about 18 months by the time our new house is built so we will have another summer to go through yet.
