Re: Settlement on same day for new and old place, moving nig 6Jun 20, 2012 3:41 pm Hi. We will be moving in 3 weeks. Initially, we had same day settlement for purchase and sale but after reading up on what can go wrong and also the potential costs associated ie - paying the removalist to sit in the truck while settlement occurs - having to store items if settlement is delayed - accomodation if you have nowhere to live if your sale settles but purchase doesnt - vendor hasnt moved out yet after settlement (happened to friends) So we decided to settle the purchase one day earlier. Only extra cost is the interest cost for holding the loan for the extra day. Also give us time to clean new place before we move in and get some work done (change locks, alarm system etc). If your bank allows, then i would recommend you delay the settlement on your sale by at least one day or move settlement on your purchase earlier. Good luck! Re: Settlement on same day for new and old place, moving nig 7Feb 19, 2013 6:33 pm 2 houses ago, we had a drama with the same day settlement on the sale of our old house and the settlement on the new house. The buyer of our old house's bank turned up at settlement with their cheque. Instead of it reading $760,000, it said $706,000 (a big typo in the wrong direction!).It was Easter Thursday and settlement didn't take place until after the holidays. We couldn't move into our new house because we didn't have the funds to settle either. And then there was the penalty for not settling on the new house, part of which was offset by the penalty we charged the buyer of our property. The house contents went into storage (unloaded from the truck) and we got charged storage costs and a second truck charge. We spent the next week sleeping at my mums on the lounge room floor with 2 young kids and no clothes (all the stuff was packed away on the truck!). Ended up the bank paid all the costs after a long battle (even for the new clothes we had to buy!). Re: Settlement on same day for new and old place, moving nig 8Jan 09, 2014 4:33 pm Hi all. I am about to make an house move, next week. I am searching very hard for removals companies and provider of self storage in Surry hills. But, all in vain. Do anyone here knows any self storage services in and around the town. Re: Settlement on same day for new and old place, moving nig 9Jan 09, 2014 5:08 pm Beverly_8 Hi all.

Do anyone here knows any self storage services in and around the town. If you've been looking "all in vain" then that company you posted a link to must be really bad hey?

There's kennards on Bourke st Alexandria, there's another opposite the Moore park super centre and few more places can be found advertised in the Wentworth courier. http://camdenbuild.blogspot.com.au/ by invite only please pm me Re: Settlement on same day for new and old place, moving nig 12Jul 04, 2016 9:42 am Sometimes your just lucky if the REMOVALISTS turn UP AT ALL! On a double settlement my booked removalists took too long at their first job of the day and called me to CANCEL. Usually people are understanding, call the realtor and the new owners and get a days grace if you get stuck.
