Jan McNutt is a great solicitor for conveyancing as she is a no-nonsense lady who tramples any of the little concerns that pop up when buying or selling.

Beverly Alley in Rivett is an excellent accountant for IPs, and gets a great return each year and knows all the information needed.

Have fun.

A job is fun, but….

I still like buying units in Belconnen more… [biggrin]Happy hunting.
