Thanks for your advice.

I have now engaged HouseMovers from Wisemans Ferry.
Has anyone had any dealings with them?
So far I have been convinced they know their stuff.

I am quite apprehensive about this little “adventure”.
I have heard about people who have done this and it seemed to go OK..

But of course there are disaster stories for…[Read more]

I used the Sydney mob. (Pymble)
Paid the $500-ish for the financial assessment.
It took 2 hours and the guy was very personable, but I got nothing out of it.
Also you have to fill out forms so they know everything about you before you go, but of course in my case the guy I was supposed to see was replaced at the last moment with someone else…[Read more]

You’ll never guess,

a whole brick-pit of Trust Deeds and documents.

No cover note,
No explanation.

No apology (LOL!!!)

Cant offer anything but “me too” with regard to aggravation with Property Managers.
2009 has been a comedy of errors from the clowns I have at the moment.

Yes – I myself discovered the damage when I went along for a property inspection just this month.
I had been living out of Syd for a couple of years and had not been inside the property for about 5 years – but paying handsomely for PM.

Thanks for these list of questions. I will cut and past and email them to my Managing Agent right now!!.
These agents have placed the tenants. I have had these agents about 5-7 years now.

Without blowing a fuse here – the agent is uncertain if it was this or the previous tenants who did the damage.

I know I know I know about changing agents. Thing is – these are the agents AFTER I changed agents previously.
They are on notice and they now have themselves a great property manager who is working hard now to…[Read more]

I had/have a nice little cash cow IP – they were like sell sell sell sell sell – buy shares.

From bitter personal experience, I suggest you avoid building with an outfit “The Home Team” once based at Northmead.
