    Hi Beng,

    Care to share with me which BA did you use? I'm keen to buy an investment property around that area as well.

    Thanks

    Around December I used Action Property Inspections. Very expensive, but did a good job, identified a range of issues. They saved me a lot of heartache down the road. Was able to cancel the contract when the vendor wasn't willing to renegotiate the price.

    Looking at bidding on a property at auction this time. Obviously best to get it inspected before I do, but wanted to see if I could find a better priced, though still good quality, inspection company. Hence my landing here.

    Thanks for the heads up regarding Bill Franks. Checked him out with QBBC and all good. Emailed him and got a really fast response along with a sample report. As for his fee, Whitechat is spot on, he's way more competitive that other companies I've contacted.

    Hopefully he's available prior to auction. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Wow! Talk about fast response time. Texted Bill that I'd emailed him and had a reply within about 5 minutes. Only wish real estate agents were half as good.

    These guys are really on the ball.

    Got a call from the lovely Denise to tell me she was going to organize things with the agent and let me know the day and time they settle on. Less than 5 minutes later she's called me back to confirm the day and time is booked. Then shortly after that a text message from Bill also confirming the day and time is booked.

    Imagine what life would be like if everyone was as timely as they are. :)

    Not unless he's a climbing palm tree cutter, which as far as I'm aware he definitely isn't ;)

    The whole process with the property has turned into a bit of saga. Don't want to bore anyone with the details. So, to cut a long story short, had to cancel the inspection at the ninth hour, which Bill was very understanding about, no charge.

    Then the property ended up being passed in at auction with me as the highest bidder. Negotiated a price, signed contract subject to building and pest, which was done this morning.

    Bill and Damien did a thorough job. Definitely recommend them. Delivered the goods and at a far lower price than the competition.

    Kez.
