Whats the strangest thing you found when....

No it was covered over because there was a better window on the LHS (there is a curtain over this one it in the old photo).Plenty of light because we also opened up the kitchen through to the dining.

 

This thread is mind boggling - were all of these items not present during the pre-settlement inspection? Or do some people just not conduct thorough pre-settlement inspections???

 

I took possession of my second IP and inherited some nice garden ornaments and water features including one with a goldfish in it ( we still have the fish!). But one of the ornaments (a copper lizard about 1 metre long) was clearly special to the owners because the day after settlement somebody scaled the fence into the back yard, unscrewed it from the fence and stole it!!!!

Errr... 3-5 scratches in groups of roughly 1cm wide going for about 5cm.

Either the kid was locked in there and wasn't happy or they were breeding goannas.

 

Le horreur, le horreur!

Spoiler

My typo!

 

great job on the reno!

 

Thanks

 

I found this in my latest purchase, it still works, the glass is cracked, that's all (and its very thick glass)!!

I googled the words on it (Zenith 8 days) and this came up:

So beautiful! The ring around it winds the clock up and can be used to adjust the time. It's a keeper!

 

Looks amazing, what are you going to do with it?

 

On most occasions the property is occupied and furnished so it is the items left behind

 

At the moment, i'm just admiring it at home. I can hear it ticking away. I think it may keep working for a few centuries!

 

Ok - maybe I'm confused - I thought the thread was about what previous owners had left behind - so assumed property was owner occupied - and given a pre-settlement inspection should be done as close to settlement as possible (ideally on the morning of) - I was assuming property would be vacant by then.

IF however the thread was actually about what tenants had left behind when you do an exit inspection I guess that's a bit different.... You would hope the agent would get them to sort that prior to releasing bond though.

Sorry if I was confused.

 

I love these two too - I found them in the large backyard shed before my family moved out from my childhood home.

 

No. It is what is now under the sheet.

 

Freddy Kruger perhaps?

 

I was removing the door stops to paint in an IP and in the teen son's room, the stop was packed full of used condoms...

I had no probs spending $2 on a replacement

 

Hahaha!

 

Replacement condom or doorstop?
