Hi Simeon, thanks again for your help here, I am waiting for the contruction certificate, when should I engage with the person for outdoor kitchen or they can work on…

My build has not started yet, it took council 9 months to approve a DA and over two years in total with Wisdom Homes.
I asked WHL for the outdoor kitchen,…

they emailed back saying they need the area to be at natural grant, no swale or divertion etc. it seems very restricted around this matter. interestingly, my neighbour rebuilt their…

Hi Simion,
ToC is tentative on completion valuation or "As If" complete valuation for the proposed to be built property. At initial loan pre-approval stage, customer provides tender documents with…

it's certainly not a good idea to value property now if the deal was done over 3 months ago, you will see 10% drop in new valuation report.
