Unfortunately there is no easy solution.
One suggestion would be to get access to the bank's valuation report and find out where the comparable sales were taken from. …

Hi all
Like some around the place, I've been in my place for just over two years now. My question is a general one about termite protection (the black pipe…

Oops! I saw your post which reminded me that I didn't send your details to my landscaper neighbour. I'll do that now. My bad....

Hi Mberv,
My neighbour is a landscaper and I'm sure would be happy to meet with you and provide a quote. He has done my yard and a few other…

Our monitored security alarm was about $1,100 a few years ago and included 5 pet-friendly sensors, on/off dongles for your keyring, security pad, own power source, zone control etc etc.
The…

I had Brendan come and do my front lights and help with some inside roof speakers. Very professional. My other attempts to get sparkies out to my place…

Hey all
Just a heads up (repeating what others have posted in the past) that there are people who go around every couple of nights testing whether cars on the street…

Hi
First, don't trust anything that isn't in the contract. There is a space at the front (or back?) allowing parties to hand write special conditions. Make sure it…

Hi, what plan are you on?
Thanks
Drew

CW's version of a 'house inspection' is sending someone around to take a photograph (I'm sure they'd use Streetview if they could) and making an assessment based on that in…

Has anyone else noticed that the Grass Fairy has been through the estate and turfed people's nature strips. Well, those who hadn't done anything with it yet and who…

Hey, I had no idea but apparently grass on the nature strip was included in the landscaping (I'm in stage 2). In fact, it was recently installed over the…

Hi LouisJo, Couple of things has the land settled? If it hasn't then there will be price verations so I would hold off signing. With our house the builder included…

Hi, we used Jim's Fencing and would use him again. The price was good, he met on site at a time that suited us (which was on a Saturday…

There is a lot of info on these forums and it can be a bit much. I think most people are quick to vent online if something goes wrong…

It doesn't matter if WL is 25,000 or 35,000 or 120,000 -- I think it's about quality rather than quantity. I would much rather walk around the nice paved…

Hi all
We have moved in but have a gap of 3.2m between the house and our side fence. We want to get a gate and some fencing done to…

I heard from a source two steps removed from the Minister that the project will be going ahead, but that construction will be delayed because it is already over budget…

Yeah, its funny how about a month before the state election we got a 'newsletter' in our letterbox advising that construction 'had been brought forward by 12 months' and that…

Someone earlier in this forum mentioned that the Sawyers Road construction was a Woolies. He said he worked for Woolies and was privy to the development info. It…

Not exactly sure whose car is parked near the entrance to the estate but it has been there for over a week and now has some "unofficial" air conditioning installed.…

Its a terrible shame, particularly given the massive jump in sale prices for the land when the cost of development could not have grown by as much relatively (particularly when…

I wonder what the delapidated building is near where the highway entrance and train station will be built. It looks like some sort of railway signal station, or maybe…

I heard from someone who works in WL sales that fences aren't included in the latest releases of land. At least that was the case a while ago.
If that's…

Unfortunately its common. We were in Stage 2 and when we bought we were told February 2009 (which is what we arranged with the builder). It then progressively…

Hey everyone, someone mentioned something a little while back about how it was hard to dig through all our posts (on reflection, 45 pages and 844 is a good effort…

There are a few in Swanton Ave and around the top. They look good, although will obviously look a lot better once they grow out a bit. As…

Depends what your contract says. Pulling out might result in damages being payable, losing deposits etc. Not to mention the personal cost of potentially having to go through…

We were quoted just over $4k, but its got a lot of room to cover. We're getting exposed aggregate and its an expensive mix just because its the newest…

Hi all
The design guidelines require a 90mm PVC pipe to be installed under the future driveway (clause 7.05), but doesn't say how deep that pipe needs to be (see below).…
