Sydney buy pending

Soooo close to closing a great deal...

Add value to increase sqm and swimming pool. It's a 3 bedder garden apartment. Blue chip Eastern suburbs. Huge garden . Off market. Seller is overseas and wants to desperately sell.


Fingers crossed.....

 

Sounds good

I have an important question about the gorgeous avatar. How did you do this style art?????

 

Ooh, sounds promising. Good luck.

 

Took the pic through his dirty glasses ?
(* they are rose coloured)....

 

Thanks Deb

 

I actually used like 3 or 4 apps..plus photo editor to be able to get it like that.

 

Wow good luck
I've been reading a lot of your posts and they're very insightful and definitely helped me at times when I'm stuck with making a decision - thanks a lot!
I've been trying to buy for the last few months in Sydney but keep getting priced out. Did you use a buyer's agent to get hold of off-market properties?
Also I wasn't aware you can add a swimming pool to a garden apartment?!

 

Hi @Penguin,

Not through a BA but having a good network of REAs. I have been trying so hard to snag another deal in Sydney but the competition is making it very tricky. I am pretty close now

Regarding adding a swimming pool to an apartment - its all good. It just needs to get approved by strata and then DA at council. I have added pools to apartments before as well as decks and spas.

 

Oh boy are we close....not a done deal but edging there slowly.... seems end of year we are having the desperate sellers emerge. Just what I was hoping for.

I love the hunt


Doing all this from the beautiful Hunter..

 

wow private pool. Doesn't that require engineering redesign? Surely a building isn't build beyond their specification during their construction.

 

Hmmm - not allowed out of Greater Sydney yet?

 

Really??

* edit your right! I'm 2 days early.....didn't realise.. we'll stay indoors by pool till November 1.. not too bad

 

Party pooper.

That why you got no mates

 

Considering it's the area with the most cases at present, possibly not the best choice.

I thought that you were referring to your self as 'the beautiful hunter'

 

Update: I'm now 1 email away from a closed deal! The anticipation is killing me... having anxiety attacks of being gazumped any second...

 

Hi @Gen-Y, the pool wouldn't be impacting the structure of the building. It would be in the garden. Its a garden apartment. I'ts been approved by strata (easy step). Now the DA needs to be lodged to council. Then the real Dan Murpheys binge begins.

 

i'm starting to get ideas of a possible garden transformation from this (looks smaller in pic)...



to something like this.....

 

Update:

Grrr...so the agent texted me yesterday at 1pm saying they have a best and final from another agent and If I can't beat it, they will accept the offer,.which has a time expiration of 3pm.

I know I can beat their best and final but I don't do business on Saturday as it's Sabbath. I texted the agent saying I can beat their best and final and I'll call you 8pm when Sabbath ends (agent understands this) to beat their offer. Please relay this to buyer. But I can't negotiate it before 8pm.

Agent said "ok will do".

I call the agent 8pm...no answer. Leave a text...no reply. So it may be lost. No regrets either way. I'll see if the agent calls me today....or Monday I'll call him first thing.

 

Got it!!! Wòooooo hooooooo!!!! Take that!!!!!!

5-800k made today by securing this deal imo.


Going out to celebrate!!!!
