    Once you've determined what you need to do to achieve the planning controls for strata titling, you will need to submit a development application as well as carrying out any required building work to meet current building code requirements. Then get subdivision plans prepared etc.

    But if the only two real beneficiaries are Mrs & Mr No Mates who are both in the top tax bracket how do I save tax? It's fine when there are other beneficiaries (ie low income earners over the age of 18) but what if there aren't)?

    Trusts aren't exempt from land tax from $1 (generally)

    It costs $ to have the books done/company set up annually.

    Even the projections in last week’s AFR had Sydney and Melbourne as the preferred options for growth over the next 3-5 years.

    Depends what you’re after. A complete marketing package would cost you around 5% +gst as opposed to just the selling comms.

    There should be flood plans available on council’s website. Even the main street is subject to innundation, just look at the elevated kerbs.

    Maitland was bolstered with plenty of ex-state govt money to win votes so there are more than 10 govt agencies up there.

    You might consider some of the newer areas like Green Hills, Thornton or East Maitland.

    If a valuation has been done properly, the valuer can only use completed sales as evidence as those sales which haven’t settled still have a chance of failing. The valuer can consider recent transactions however cannot list these in their rationale – being the devil’s advocate, if they used an incomplete sale and it failed to complete, the valuation was later challenged by the lender or insurers due to a default by the borrower the sales the valuer relied upon would not exist and the valuer may be liable for a faulty valuation.

    The owner should have watched what he was disclosing to others.

    Your numbers are slightly skewiff but good for demonstrating your point:

    $12 * 52 / .08 = $7800

    Market it as a 1 bed + study/2nd bed – create that point of difference. Declutter & style appropriately to suit the marketing story, move all the excess into storage.

    I came across this mob the other day – may be of interest: [email protected]

    About $65k plus site costs and approvals. They're based out in Liverpool.

    Which explorers discovered the area (Batman? Hume? Hovell? etc)

    Maybe after some of the first settlers in the area?

    They're a good starting point – even for  street names.

    Latest feedback from the NSW courts is that the builder doesn’t require home warranty insurance if multi storey & defect rectification through body corporate will need to be fought in the courts not with fair trading.

    Usually the best option is to sell first then buy as you are free of your mortgage for a while otherwise the agent will put additional pressure on you to take a low ball offer to close the deal and you will lose out.

    This morning, the +1 didn't like where the house sat on the block so I moved it 3" to the left ;)
