I’m facing financial difficulties and would like to sell my house to pay debts off. I would like to know if there are any reliable cash buyers around Perth, UK who will give me a fair price for my property.

Many people become hesitant to get the services of cash house buyers because their offer is sometimes too good to be true. But once I found out about Cash Buyer (a leading property buyer company in UK), I’ve decided to give it a try. Unlike many of the small-time rogue buyers in the property market, they are respected, national company with a strong local presence.

I am a QS and want to start my own business providing freelance QS services to tradesmen, Subcontractors, businesses in Construction and property. Any ideas how I could get it up and running?

Quantity Survey is the most important part in any building contract and all contracting companies either have their own QS or hire someone on contract. You should call a few contracting companies locally and ask them if they are looking for a QS.

"A WOMAN has defrauded Perth residents of more than $4 million by selling shares in a bogus land development she called "Mormonville", police say.

West Australian Police fraud officers, who have charged the 50-year-old registered finance broker on 24 fraud-related counts, say many of the woman’s victims were pensioners.

They said the woman, from Canning Vale in Perth’s south, set up "illusory schemes" in 2007 to fund her personal investments and affairs.

"She tricked people to invest by offering exceptionally high rates of returns with little or no risk to invested money," a police spokeswoman said.

The initial schemes allegedly involved selling investments in part-shares of land but later evolved into a scheme advertised as Mormonville, which claimed to be a village-type development for members of the woman’s church."

Mormons seem especially vulnerable to ‘affinity fraud’, where a con artist preys on people who accept them as part of a group they trust.

Bernie Madoff did the same thing with Jews.

As an ex Mormon, I’ve often wondered if my ancestors all had some sort of ‘gullible’ gene.

i’ve heard there are real estate agents in perth that sell property overseas (bali etc)
and can help you in getting info on moving over there, the requirements and such, but i cant seem to find any. help?

from what i can gather you cannot live there permanently, every 6 months you have to leave the country for about a week. when buying property there you need an balinese sponsor. Family friends run hotel accomodation on lembogan island and this is what they have told us.
But i did a little searching for you and found this link about perth residents buying property anf there is a phone number to call

Wondering what the cost of living is like in Adelaide, compared to Perth. And what are nice suburbs to live in so I can search real estate.

Looking at working in North Adelaide. And maybe going to UniSA.

We are a young couple no kids, prefer a cultured vibe like inner city and we’re foodies. Would want to be in an 2 bed apartment or 3 bed house, near cafe / restaurant / bookstore areas and especially anything with late night trading. Here in Perth there’s only a couple of suburbs like that, not sure if you have more in Adelaide.

Food wise, we mainly buy from markets and Ive been to the central markets. What are the costs per kg for bananas, avocado and tomato at the moment? They’re around $4, $3 each & $5-6 respectively here in Perth .

What is an approximate price per litre of unleaded petrol?

In general are people friendly to get along with? I’ve only known weird South Australians!! But maybe that’s cause they moved to Perth, and we are weirder

Also what is the cost of public transport?

Thanks very much.

wow you don’t ask for much do you!
i’d suggest prospect to live in. it’s walking distance to o’connell street and melbourne street in north adelaide, so there’s heaps of restaurants nearby. also prospect road has some great restaurants and cafe’s. i rent a 3 b/room house for $600/ fortnight, but there are cheaper houses to rent in the area. it’s just walking distance to the city centre, but also has regular public transport to the city. otehr suburbs to try that fit your description near the city are norwood, unley, goodwood, north adelaide and surrounding suburbs. further from the city, any beachside suburbs have restaurants and cafe’s. henley beach and semaphore are probably the pick of them culturally speaking. the hills have some great places too. stirling has lots of organic cafe’s and markets and is only 20 minutes from the city center by car.
depending on where you buy your food from, bananas are around $4/kilo, avocado’s $1.50 each, tomato’s $4/kilo at the moment. you can get better deals at the markets in the afternoons though.
i don’t know the cost of petrol, i don’t drive a car at all i ride a bicycle. i’d assume it’s about the same price as perth though.
generally people are friendly. there’s the usual dickheads you find in any city, but no more or less here.
public transport is up to $30 a week for an adult to travel to and from work. that varies what time you travel and how far you travel though. student prices are half that.

Hi,

I am in the process of moving to Australia. We are looking for somewhere with a sense of culture and plenty to do for all ages. After much consideration we think a Melbourne Suburb might be a good choice for us.

When we come over there will be me, my husband and out two boys who will be 10 and 7. We are looking for catholic school catchment areas, again plenty to do, close to the beach and not to far to into the centre of Melbourne. We have heard good things on Sandringham, and Mornington… But I also think Mentone sounds good to, is it closer to Melbourne City Centre?, considering, Mount Martha and Mornington as I think the real estate is more affordable than Sandringham, We dont want to commute much more than half an hour to Melbourne CBD.

Please advise are we going in the right direction, opinions on the suburbs would be a great help, what kind of atmosphere etc?… is Melbourne a good choice or do we need to think of casting the net further afeild just want the boys to have plenty whilst growing up with a view to settling in OZ. Perth feels to remote to me and Sydney to expensive and Brisbane to hot ?

Many Thanks

same answer i gave you yesterday

mentone is ok, not as close to the cbd as sandringham and not as far as mornington

if you don’t want to commute more than half an hour then mt martha and mornington are out and sandringham is in

Hello,
I am a perth girl but have been living in Newman for over 2 years now. The time has finally come for us to move back to the big smoke and we are having a hard time choosing a suburb to look for a house in.
Basically I want it to be near a decent school (and I judge decency by the myschool website and most students being in the top two quarters for standardised testing lol) I dont care if it is public or private. Also want it to be not TOO far from the CBD because my husband will be working there. I like coastal. I actually think that what I am looking for is going to be out of our price range but thought I would see what you suggest anyway.
We have at least $420,000 (lowest budget) or up to $600,000 depending on a bulk amount of money that we are expecting to receive.

South of the river, look at the rossmoyne high school zone, rossmoyne, riverton, bullcreek (by memory but check this). These are good middle class areas with low crime rates. Although not close to the ocean (about 30 minutes), it is only a few minutes away from the river.
The best thing is these are close to the train line, only 7 minutes from bullcreek station to Perth!, and this area has good bus coverage.

Further down but closer to the ocean is Beelier, but this is a new area and I don’t know what the schools are like.

Up north look at places near the freeway/trains, but I don’t know the schools in this area.

Your best bet is to sit down with the names of the best schools, look at a map of Perth, especially looking at the freeway which has the trains, and reiwa website and see what the cost of houses is in that area.

We live in Perth, Australia (for 3 years now). We have a flat in Plymouth since 2004. We lived in the flat for 2 years before moving. We now own a property in perth (since November 2009).
We are renting the Plymouth flat and have been for 2-3 years. Our mortgage will change in September and they will add 1.5% interest on for the privilege of renting it out. Are we in the category of buy to let and thus CGT or can we still be in the category of sole property owners in the UK and thus not be liable for CGT? Many thanks for any help with this!

1. You need to be a non UK resident for 5 full tax years before you cease to be liable for CGT. As you have only been away for 3 years you are potentially liable for CGT.

2. Any exception is for you main private residence, and not your sole home. The fact that you don’t live in the Plymouth flat means it is not your main private residence so you are potentially liable for CGT. However, it used to be your main residence, so some reliefs are available.

3. Your mortgage makes no difference. Lenders categorise mortgages as buy-to-let or not and this is a purely commercial decision for them. The criteria applied are not necessarily the same as for CGT purposes, and liability for one does not affect the other.

The exact amount of relief may be a fairly complicated calculation so it might be worth talking to a tax specialist. However, you are only liable for CGT on the gain, and even if liable everyone has a £10,100 annual tax free allowance. If the property is jointly owned you can each use your allowance on your own share. You are also allowed to deduct the costs of buying and selling from the gain. Unless the net gain is going to be more than £20,200 it is probably not worth worrying about the reliefs because you can take the simple route of using your tax free allowance.
