A few more features are that there is a 2.8m x 2.8m secure lockup shed in your own yard downstairs next to the carport for storing your pushbike or motorbike and any other bulky junk that seems to build up during your life, also the gardens and surrounds are fully maintained by an onsite caretaker so you have nothing to do when you get home except look after your own needs, the caretaker even puts all the bins out and brings them back in.

so this is an upstairs unit? is it the one highlighted in the first outdoor pic with the balcony?
So there is a yard that is exclusive to this property? and the shed is just for the one unit?

The place looks great now that its all finished! Great job Dave :thumbsup:

Have been to the unit before and its a perfect size. Both the bedrooms are a good size and the bathroom and kitchen are just amazing! (i love a good bathroom and kitchen :lol:)

Its in a great location as well... whoever lands this unit is gonna be a happy chappy :grin:

How much are the Strata and Council rates?

I am quite interested, but probably wont be buying til around christmas, so hope its still around as am quite interested.

Joseph

Strata Fees are curently set @ $150.00 per quarter ( 3 months ), this is for the current management which is done by the unit owners (all investors except for myself) and has for past 2 years included a sinking fund for maintainance of buildings and public lighting.

We had a meeting on 19th nov and it was decided that the management may be better off being done by one of the many Strata Management Professionals and that the fees may rise to $175.00 per quarter to cover this cost.


Council rates are currently $502.00 per annum on capital valuation of $142000
Water Rates are $448.00 per annum based on same valuation

It may well be available come christmas time but my agent doubts that it will be, if you or anyone wants a look PM me and I'm sure it can be arranged. :|)

As for the $184K+ price, it is a marketing tool used nowdays to get buyers in that range to view the property but the expected price is in the high 190's.

Thanks for all the nice comments, :grin: it was many years of work (mostly the rewiring)
and I had a heart attack doing the rewiring :err: . I am looking forward to never renovating again and to just enjoy life in future. I am very pleased with the result but will never get to enjoy it as it only got finished after I had moved out. I have even put a brand new toilet seat on so that the person who buys it will be the first person to use it.

The pictures i have added are of the secure :shear: front door with digital deadlatch and sensor light which is in the internal staircase and also of the electrical sub board located next to breakfast bar.

noice....

Ill vouch for this place, tidy little venue indeed!

Thanks again for the desk StonedAgain!

Well first Open inspection was a bit of a fizzer with only 4 groups going through, two seemed very interested though, agent seems to think that because it is open again on tuesday night that more will come along as they would have thought that because its open again so soon that they should check out the ones that were only open on the sunday (6 others in the near vacinity open during the same time period). fingers crossed.

i wouldnt get too excited about making a sale before Xmas

price will not be the issue but rather peoples thinking at this time of year is whether they should buy little timmy his first Tonka truck, not a unit at Plympton

all the best with the sale though, plympton's a popular area for obvious reasons

id expect a sale in Jan sometime, good luck :)

I love what you've done with the unit Dave!!! Looks awesome... it's such a nice unit.. if i could afford it i'd buy it! Great location, good room sizes and a little balcony.. awweee.. Love it!!

Also.. love the paint job!! You can tell that alot of hard work has been put into the renovation of that unit!! Great work matey!! :kiss:

Damn - the Statesman's not included..? :lol: Good luck with the sale... nice tucked away location, but close to transport etc etc... Xmas and summer can be hard to sell - but you never know - nice looking place like that :) Top work thinking to advertise on RA :)

Thanks Cammy and Leah and Trasor, i figured i would put it on here as its very close to the city ($7.50 taxi ride) and we all know that most ravers are employed and just about anyone can borrow 200k on a mortgage nowdays.

My agent just called and he believes that it has rental potential in a fully furnished state of $240 a week and has an investor interested, im in no real rush to sell to the first offer so there is time for anyone that thinks they would like to live here to get their finances sorted.

what ever you do, do NOT fall into the trap of furnishing a property

here's a list of non furnished places in

plympton

let these be your guide in assessing rent potential..... not what comes out of someones mouth

Well that was a better weekend of open inspections, 13 groups through and all but 2 gave name and contact details, 2 of the groups were from last weekend coming back for a second look with more family members, one of these groups made a pretty cheeky offer of 171K when asking price is 184K+ but made sure to advise the agent that it wasnt his top bid, at least now the agent can contact all that were interested to see if others are prepared to make an offer and if not i will put on the back burner till january as im not in a huge rush to sell at any price. Lots of good feedpack from the groups gives me the confidence to let it slide till xmas is over and then it could be a whole new group of buyers out there with uni starting in march and students needing accomodation from country areas or even overseas.

Well the right buyer has finally come along and made an offer of 186K with a 30 day settlement, im just gonna hold off for a few more days as there was a lot of people looking during the week, but in the current climate and after stories ive heard about people buying properties 20 k under the asking price i feel its a pretty good deal. :grin:

Hey Dave I'm also selling my place,down near Semaphore.
Hard time of year but who knows you can have 200 people through but it only takes one!

Good luck with the sale babe.

Well its now signed sealed and delivered 190K with no subject too's, a very good result. Buyer has waived cooling off period and paid the deposit with settlement in 30 days, in return i have granted them full access to the property to allow them to move in and get settled during the xmas new year break as the buyer is from Narracourte and this will allow them to bring stuff gradually as they come to Adelaide regularly for family reasons, i feel i can trust the buyer as he is a policeman and the unit is for his 20yo daughter ( must get her out raving me thinks). I have offered to install a peephole in the front door which he says he will pay me for (inc installation costs). Total costs for the sale worked out at 6.7K so the original price i asked in a previous thread of 175K would have been a bargain for anyone on RA that took the offer back then.

Well done mate. Got ya PM.

Unit at Plympton with a reverse peep hole going once.....going twice....Sold to the man with the hot dughter!

Drinks on Stoned again this week at Black Cat hahahahaha :grin:

Another thread locked by Lock Down! :wink:
