Re: House Sale?

I hear what you’re saying about the difficulty in setting a value and suspected that your home was larger than others in the area. I think you did the right thing given the information you...

Re: House Sale?

Hi,

Firstly I’d advise against providing a link to your home address on a public internet forum.

Re: GETTING AUS MORTGAGE

Interesting, this is not my experience in NSW. You may of course be talking about a different state.

In NSW, indeed lenders have experienced increased volumes in enquiries due to the recent rate...

Re: U.K Recession. Will Australia follow?

It's spin.
The Ozzie banks have had their fingers in the same pies as the UK banks have.
Raw numbers may be smaller, but the percentage on balance sheet is the same.

I'm just happy you're doing your bit for the balance of trade.
With Ballan's millions fying offshore to France, the country is surely screwed. :lol:

Re: HiFX Beware

There will always be a better rate (or worse rate) than the one you exchanged at.
The best thing to do is forget about it once you have made the exchange and not dwell on the “if only I...

Re: U.K Recession. Will Australia follow?

It's a pity those running from the ASX at the moment don't share your optimism.

Oz buys from and sells into the global market place. No decoupling here.

Re: Can you change your mind after an offer has been accepted?

Yes, only offer 20% below in todays climate.

First of all congratulations. From what you have written you appear to have put down a deposit around the 250K mark when you bought your house (as you say "recently"). That takes some astute...

Re: repossed help

I guess I was hoping that as the housing authority would have their own infrastructure for doing all the repairs on their own homes that it would be simple to extend that to yours. Even if they sent...

I commute 3 hours a day in the UK and it's certainly high up there on my "better life" list to reduce this on moving to Oz.

Or do they class what they will and will not be responsible for?
