The Day the Bubble Burst is a follow on from “The Rascal’s Guide…”.

Both could be described as: Humorous, with a few gems, but rather lacking in substance. Ollie is own biggest fan, and it shows.

It is important that you familiarise yourself with the Deed of Lease as that spells out all the rules as they apply to your contract.

(I believe most Commonwealth countries do this) When/if Australia becomes independent the day off will be probably be switched to the “Presiding Leader’s day”.
However, there is no obligation on you or anyone to celebrate it, but if you…[Read more]

Will it re-lease easily at the same or a better rate if your tenant does not renew? How does the value compare with other similar offices? Does it need refurbishment?

The worthwhile things take a little effort, and can cause some temporary discomfort. But for many, myself included, it is…[Read more]
