SA Adelaide Southern Areas

You have eyes like an Eagle @RetireRich101

 

I am a big fan of corner lots....you can sell off your backyard without people knowing
I believe there are few doing it in CB

 

Hi, newbie at posting. I am looking for recommendations for any buyer agents. I am looking to invest in southern Adelaide, even bookmarked a few that I like but I am interstate. I have read suggestions on this forum but I have left 2 messages for 2 of them already but I guess they have enough buyers on their books already and are not returning calls? So any suggestion or recommendations are welcome... I am interstate so can't attend each open house myself.

 

Pff buyers agent
I'll go to an inspection for ya for $50

 

@Taku Ekanayake and @bob shovel bought in Adelaide using a BA and have written about it on the forums before, why not ask them about their experiences? Or alternatively @devank and @Magnet have previously made threads about buying here from interstate using local expertise. Perhaps speak to both types and find a method that suits you best.

 

Hi! I bought in Adelaide a couple of years ago and had a great experience using a BA. Feel free to PM me for details.

 

Hi @KB2017 if you have bought an IP before and you are confident in running the numbers etc I don't think you need a buyers agent. Basically I selected a few properties that worked well for my numbers. I decided on a suitable property manager from reading posts on property chat and seeing others recommendations. I approached @D.T. and asked if he would be our new property manager and assist us in choosing a suitable property from a rental perspective - after all, he's a local expect on the local rental property market. I narrowed down a property with David's help and then made an offer subject to building, pest and finance. Got the offer accepted after some negotiation. Engaged a recommended B & P inspector, checked the report and all good. Got my recommended local conveyancer to check over the contract. Finance was sorted at the same time and all went through without a real hitch. The process is easy, running the numbers and choosing the property is the most important & most difficult task. This task is made all the more simple with someone like @D.T. and you end up with a suitable and well managed property with his knowledge and experience of his local market. As a bonus he's a seasoned investor so he just 'gets it'. Hope all this helps.

 

I hope they factored in the water mains extension for res 2 & 3, it doesn't run past that side of the block.

150m2 for row dwelling in Policy area 40.

 

At around $1000 PM you would hope so @Baker .The surveyor would/should have picked that up easily if they did their DD.

 

I have done a few extensions, this was the costing from the last one 2 years ago,just to give an idea on costs.

 

hi, trying to run the sums on a potential development site in Christies Beach, can some-one assist with what rate m2 should I budget for in building costs for 3 x single storey group dwellings approx 140m2 3br or 2br+study?

 

I built my ones for about 1100 per sqm

 

Turn-key?

 

Yes, except I diy'd landscaping

 

Hello does anyone know what the minimum frontage for subdivision is in onkaparinga council area? Not medium density.. thank you

 

Hi @DaveM is the man to speak too. @D.T. can also attend house opens for you.

 

Thanks @Balman , however I dont cover south of CBD beyond Cross Road unfortunately.

 

It's 9m if anyone's interested.. a while ago the lady at the council mentioned to me that later in the year there are some changes taking place that might make subdivision a little more difficult .. wouldn't say what though.

 

Hearing the news today NSW will follow Victoia lead to abolish stamp duty for 1st home buyers has me wondering if this will become normal practice for state governments Australia wide,this article puts it out there

Industry heads urge State Government to scrap stamp duty in SA - realestate.com.au
Will this be a good thing in S.A.? Will it push up house prices?
