Mate, Our Home is Our Castle. Haven't you heard that yet?
Or worse haven't you seen the movie? It's called The Castle, get it…

Sorry to hijack your thread but I know both those suburbs and those prices paid would be similar to;
Fairfield West house $780,000 = Holden Commodore for $85,000
Oxley Park unit…

It's so common isn't it? You choose them because they've been around for ages and well known too. But they can't even guarantee the quality or the knowledge of their…

Will the government have enough money to hand out this time for new stimulus packages?

The recycled newspaper based one is actually a fire retardent.

How much would you pay for a service like that? Surely the selling agent is not going to pay them from their commission.

I think VVS Mand is from Canada. They always leave their doors unlocked.

I don't see how you can judge the wishes of the property owner when they are paying you to "serve" them.
And what is with this pre-occupation with wanting to…

It sounds like the bank front line staff are so desparate to keep their jobs they would be forced to sell anything to you.
You need to deposit a cheque?…

I don't usually like current affairs shows like TT but this is interesting from their web site.
Janelle worked for the NAB for 13 years. It was her job to make…

Try NZI, AAMI and APIA (if you fit their age criteria) as well. I believe these are all owned by Suncorp just like GIO is. I think you may find…

Builders - over valuing
Banks - under valuing
First Home Buyers - the conduit for both to make lots of money
Fred I agree with you. It sums up the experience and comments…

OMG, is that what he really said? I must meet this guy. Can you tell me his name?

I like westpat too.

i meant westprat

Someone's been telling you porkies mate. I hope it wasn't a wetprat employee.

How did you know he was a "w*nker"?

Are people still voting for No Deposit loans as these loans have disappeared? I suppose you had them approved before.

THLO, Just a question about Homeside. Are their home loans only available through mortgage brokers? A friend of mine was looking to talk to them but from previous experience…

That's too high. A friend got them done for $20 per window for supply only.

I just had a quick look at the report. It looks like they compared home prices against salaries paid in each location so it's based on relative income.

I think SO! The way they plaster those "$24,000 Grant applies to this house" banners all over the houses they are trying to sell.

This development looks very interesting. But it's right next door to the housing commission areas of Bidwill, Shalvey etc. Do you think that's an issue for people concerned about crime?

We chose Homeside (NAB), in these uncertain times we wanted the security of a large bank. Pretty happy overall, fees were very low compared to others and the rate is…

That's ok as we are going to keep our repayments the same as it was in September. I reckon we'll pay it off in 10 years that way.

So where do you sleep then?

I hear you. I don't see the credit card interest rates dropping anywhere near the reserve bank rate drops. Must be very profitable for the banks to hand out…
