This would only be IP number 2. The previous one was new and it was complete. I was hoping to buy complete again.

The Builder put cabling inside the house for a telephone but it is not connected to the telephony infrastructure on the street.

I recently come across a townhouse development on a main road – 2 lanes both way – here in Adelaide.
The properties have been reduced in price but as I am unsure of the impact on the property being on a main road, I am not sure if they have been reduced enough.

The properties are new, they have commercial grade insulation around the…[Read more]

Wilko, when doing your calculations do you have a template that you follow. Is it something that is available and ensures you do not over look anything? Do you also have ball park figures for all of the different parts of the reno, render, kitchen etc to fit into your calculations, if it is a ball park, how did you…[Read more]
