An easement can only be removed by agreement with the authority the easement is in favour of (i.e. the ‘owner’ of the sewer mains). In order to remove an easement, it would have to no longer be required for its existing purpose, which sounds unlikely from what you’ve described.

However, in terms of a site redevelopment, an easement need…[Read more]

For a bathroom – keep the colour scheme very neutral – white tiles are always good (when I was renting, I really preferred these as you can easily tell when they’re clean).

If you think it’s worthwhile to pay the $185k, perhaps you can negotiate more favourable terms – maybe a longer settlement to allow you to get the funds together?

Other than that, I know it’s easy to say, but try and be detatched. It’s just one deal, another one will come along.

Hope that’s not the name on your loan application or you’ll really have trouble getting finance!! [wink]

I’m certainly no finance expert, but I’ve replied to your post because I know that the waiting can be hell, especially with a first loan application. It was quite a few years ago for me, but I remember it like it was…[Read more]

[biggrin]

For anyone else reading this thread, please keep the ideas coming.

G7, I love the shaggy white rug idea – you’re right, now that I think about it – I’ve been seeing them everywhere in the design mags. Totally impractical to live with, but they add great…[Read more]

If you are determined to do it yourself and not sure about how it all works, I would suggest doing a Real Estate Agent’s Rep Course, or similar, which includes basic training on Property Management – this includes info on all the standard forms (and how to fill them out!) and the legislative/ legal implications of managing a property.…[Read more]

Forgive me if I’m telling you things you already know, but if in Vic the town planning and building permit processes are completely separate at most Councils (silly, I know). This means you will possibly need to consult with someone in each of these departments.

If you want to do some preparation and feel more in control of your…[Read more]

In this situation I would have suggested talking it out with your neighbour first to see if a compromise can be reached. Given that you’re calling them “Evil” I suspect this may not be on the cards.

I would suggest checking with your lawyer as to whether there is any possibility of making a claim on grounds similar to adverse…[Read more]

On average, a straightforward rezoning (i.e. has local Council support, no objections received from members of the public) will take approximately 1 year. This is a long time to wait – so you’d want…[Read more]

In particular, the section on the Residential Tenancies Act left me feeling…[Read more]
