I told you all that i would let you know when we find a place and i think it is going to happen now ( subject to finance of course, but we did have a pre-approval, so fingers crossed) We made an offer and it was accepted today.
The best thing about it is, the sellers listed price was $320K and our accepted offer is $277K so a drop of $43K. I believe that his listed price was way over anyway but i am stoked that we are getting a 7 year old, 3bed, 2bath, DBL Garage, Pergola, Brick place on a fully fenced 886sqm block. And it is one street away from where we are renting now.
One question i was wanting your opinion/advice on is. The house is currently tenanted and they have done a small amount of damage, eg back door has a big hole in it ( from dog or so they say) and also skirting around door to garage has been chewed by the dog too. Is that damage covered by their bond until we settle, which won't be until 25th Sept as they are on a lease until the 19th Sept with the current owner and if they do any more damage in the meantime will that also be covered. The Real Estate tells me that it is part of the exit report when they leave which will be under the current owner still but should i get that in writing or is it too late now. We still have the 5 day cooling off period and i am going to ring the agent first thing in the morning but i just rang and got the building insurance and i was told that we would not be covered if the tenants do any damage to the house.
I hope that makes sense and i look forward to hearing from you but overall we are so excited and can't wait to move.
