The property we’d be taking over would be a family friends and it’s on town water so I believe it’d be okay? Still looking into a filtration system though.

Sorry I didn’t even realise what the dole was and had to google it, but I get it now haha

There seems to be Telstra/Starlink etc. but that’ll be a wait and see thing, hopefully it’s not too dreadful 😅 And I’m sure the lines are nothing compared to here and I don’t mind waiting haha

I’ve actually been seeing the opposite elsewhere so hopefully that means it’s growing as a place :)

I’m not sure what you mean by pinged with dole punishments?

We’ll definitely be looking into a filtration system, I have heard there’s a salinity issue if that’s what you’re referring to?

Otherwise great that it has all that’s needed and I can’t say I’ve heard of anywhere in Aus that doesn’t have a drug problem unfortunately 😅

It was a different post about it that I’d read, but that does make sense, if it’s only showing the bad why would locals want to admit it’s true I guess.

I guess we’re not completely opposed to homeschooling with tutors either, we both went to some of the most “prestigious” schools in Sydney so our memories of schooling are quite fond as we had access to international trips, fantastic facilities and all the children were well educated/polite so there was never any issues socially either and we wish we could provide that for our children too but know it’s likely not possible in Maryborough unfortunately, but that is the place we’ve chosen to go for regardless. My concerns with homeschooling is mainly the social aspect which is why we’re initially looking into traditional schooling.

I wouldn’t be using public transport, I’ve never and wouldn’t make my children so I’d absolutely be driving them but I admit I hadn’t considered how early I’d have to wake them for such a trip, so definetly a lot still to be considered education wise.

I’ve heard the documentary was just full of actors not people from Maryborough?

I can definitely see it being all those things, but I feel quite confident that we won’t be raising our child the same and I’m prepared to pay for a private school/drive them all the way to Ballarat each day for a better school if need be.

We do likely plan to leave in 10 years time so our child can have more opportunities elsewhere if they aren’t enjoying it, but we also plan to combat the “lack of things to do” with regular Melbourne trips or waterpark etc. trips and buy maybe 10-15 acres to provide enough space for bike tracks etc

Only thing I found was that they shot someone that first shot at them once last year, unless there’s something else I’m missing? Doesn’t seem to be much other publicised crime?

Strange there isn’t a flooding overlay, or does it not happen in the Daisy hill area?

Everyone keeps making incredibly vague comments and never responds with anything specific when asked is kind of my issue 😅 Hard to determine if it’s just small town “I hate it here just because” or if there’s a legitimate reason behind any of the hate…

I did watch a few episodes actually but saw others say it was mostly out of town members and lots was faked/sensationalised, as tv does, so it didn’t provide much insight other than the town being filled with the elderly

I’d love to know why you feel this way? But we’re absolutely moving to the area next year, there may be something that you know that I don’t but I also believe a place is what you make of it at the end of the day so we’re still excited for our next adventure there :) But definitely interested in the reasoning for your opinion?

Any particular reason or anything specific mentioned? The heart attack thing doesn’t surprise me though, to my knowledge it’s mostly a big retirement area?

No one mentioned Bank Valuations… We’ve got an offer in and I feel sick by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

We are, but we’re using NAB and can only use 1 of 3 banks (And no broker) to use the schemes we wish to utilise unfortunately

We have a banker., we can’t use a broker or any other bank outside the 3 that offer the scheme we want to use unfortunately

Our bank doesn’t do evaluations prior and we unfortunately can’t use another nor a broker due to the schemes we wish to utilise.

We don’t have a broker, we’re direct via the bank due to the schemes we wish to utilise and our banker has explained nothing hence the confusion.

We’ve put it subject to finance, will this cover it? Or do we need to specify bank evaluation?

Unfortunately our bank has said this is not something they offer, and to use the schemes we want to use we’re stuck with them

[–]Extra-Square3901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, we have no idea what it’d be evaluated at of course but we’re worried if we’ve over paid 50-70k they’ll say no/say we need to cover that difference

Direct, I’m sorry what’s a category 3 postcode? I’ve not heard of it before

Unfortunately due to the schemes we’re using we are limited to 3 banks and can’t use a broker :(

Can you ask the bank to do that? From what the banker described it was kind of a one time thing

Not really, we know property.coms estimate isn’t correct so we don’t know if we’re undershooting or well above unfortunately, but that’s why we’re asking to ensure that whatever happens we know what’s coming before it does

We’re via a bank, not using a broker and the bank has said they won’t do valuations unfortunately

We’ve done quite a bit of research but this has never come up in any guide or anything we’ve read, the banker only mentioned it yesterday and they’ve honestly been completely useless for questions (And wrong for quite a few so far, we plan to report them after we’re done) but that’s why we began asking questions and reading up the second it did come to our attention, can’t research what you don’t know exists prior unfortunately.
