It’s a “debt recovery” service rather than an insurance policy per se. My understanding is that Barclays buys the debt from you, and goes and recovers it from the tenant. Has anyone else used this?

My mother is looking to buy a two bedroom townhouse in Castle Hill… she has been looking at one in particular, which was formerly owned by Defence… it’s been on the market for 8 months, and the price has dropped from $499k down to $410k in that time. Capital growth might be slim on the ground for a little while.

The scepticism is caused by the fact that your original post was big on sentiment, but pretty skinny on facts.

Perhaps you could outline the basics?

While I was there I saw lots of ads for property investment seminars etc in the newspapers – even the Metro – that look interesting. They’re not hard to find if you have a poke about. [cap]

It’s an expensive and painful lesson, but suing for damages would be worse (trust me, I’m a litigation lawyer).

If you do decide to push on nonetheless, you will likely to have to make your claim in the local court, where it is realistically possible to represent yourself. Be warned, though. Even the filing alone may cost you…[Read more]

It’s strikingly clear to me that I need to spend 6 months or so just educating myself about this before I jump in. Thanks again for the words of wisdom.

True enough, I haven’t got a budget in place, nor any other savings. I was paying off a car loan and my credit card, so paying off debts was my main focus. Now that I can afford to pay these debts off immediately, I would like to start putting my money into investment.

In terms of what type of investments, and what…[Read more]

I’m pretty comfortable taking on debt, so developing a broad portofolio would be the goal.

I will take a look through the older threads to see if I can find anything on buyer’s agents. Are there any in particular that I should look at?

cheers
