I'm glad you raised this JWR, as this is something I've been wondering about as well. Sorry to add another aspect to this thread, but can I also ask - does the requirement to get insurance after signing contracts in Qld only cover established properties or does it also apply to new builds...

Hi I’m about to purchase a townhouse (which will be my PPOR for at least 12-18 months), and have a few questions I’m hoping someone can help answer. I’ve done my own research to try and get answers, but the information I’ve found is conflicting, so thought I would post a thread in this...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I feel so much better now after reading everyone's responses and happy again with my decision! I kept second guessing myself and going back for more and more research just in case there is a magic formula or 100% foolproof test that will confirm to me or...

Hi Thanks for your comments - useful feedback and questions to think about as always on this forum! I did my own research to check re the station using the Translink website (and have even traveled the journey just to be sure!). The station is part of the Ipswich/Richlands line - its...

Hi Thanks so much for your replies. You're right - I need to slow down and really map out what I want. Sounds so simple! But its proven to me that I'm too emotional so need to calm down, and make an informed decision (and take my time to do it). I drove around Salisbury today - and...

Thanks for your replies, which are really helpful and give me something to think about. I guess I'm overwhelmed with the different decisions I need to make (ie established vs new build, high end of my price point or cheap and cheerful etc) and feel like I'm going in circles. I just want...
