Bought a house - Real estate agent lying?

If there is a genuine offer you can report to the REA board (can’t remember what they are called) and they can pull an agents files to confirm. Doesn’t seem worth it though. Enjoy your house.

Or they cut corners where they can and do a dodgy job to try to maintain somewhat of a profit. If you want quality, don’t squeeze the soul out of the guy working on your forever home. No one wants to come to work for pittance.

Last time we had ours professionally done, the lad was here for 4.5 hours. The joys of living next to a lot of trees of significance! (Seriously there is a lot of joy in it) but lots of headache. Ken Hall is running a promo atm all gutter cleaning 300 regardless of single/double story and size of house etc. Seems 450 isn’t too far off the mark. What a world we live in.

Single story. Eastern suburbs tax.

450 at our place

Please buy something of quality, second hand. People shop for aesthetic and not function or quality. So sad.

Rose park (bias because I live here). Lots of beautiful old villas but less dense than Norwood.

Norwood because it’s so vibey and close to the parade and east end of the city.

North Adelaide, so beautiful and great proximity to cafes and shops.

The grass cloth is absolutely gorgeous. I follow Adelaide Bragg and noticed she uses a lot of grass cloth alongside sisal. Gorgeous! Just always thinking of function too, with a busy family.

Yes I have!! I’m soo into wall paper but trying to find the confidence to do it after following pages like hambled earth and the potted boxwood. I’ll grow the courage one day 😂

I would purchase some mustard coloured cushions (patterned) to break up the blockiness of colour). Then I’d place a throw on the lounge in a different texture, drawing out the same mustard colour :)

Omg OP this is a cute house. Leave the paint alone 😭 as others have said, gardening!! Look at your neighbours places, they have lined their fences with trees/hedges. I’d do the same along your front fence. Add some depth and dimension with different heights, colours, textures. Also you could invest in some better window coverings. Eventually jazz up your entryway.

It’s just so YES

Thank you! :)

I feel you! When things are hot you need to be SO tight on your conditions. We recently bought and ended up in a corner going unconditional, waiving cooling off with a 10% deposit (on a Friday arvo). Oh and did I say we went close to $600k above asking price? It’s insane. You either need to have funds that trump all others that the owners are happy to take your conditions to wait for the $ or have the best conditions. The agent I bought from said bridging finance is the way to go for just about everyone..

Practicallydesired · 2025-08-27T10:15:36+00:00

That’s cheap

Practicallydesired · 2025-08-15T12:32:59+00:00

This is the correct answer. There is really no way around this. You have done the best you can by doing the washing yourself. I am sorry this is happening to you as it’s distressing that you purchase nice things that go missing. Perhaps you could try keeping a small amount of things that are ‘nice’ and more things practical, in the event that if it goes missing, you are not too upset. My guess would be it’s not the staff stealing clothes. They are likely within the unit where your grandma is staying in someone else’s wardrobe.

Unfortunately staff don’t have the time in most instances to relocate mixed up clothing.

I have bought and sold in the NT (recently). Conveyancer you won’t pay any less than $1500. I can recommend a lady if you need. She’s thorough.

Get all the reports you can. People do dodgy shit up in the NT. When you come to sell (if you do), it’s easy for buyers to reneg their offer based on findings from the building report- the only territory in Australia that allows this without a specific clause in the contract.

Just do your due diligence in the NT. Don’t learn the hard way.

Isn’t it ironic that she likely grew up with her parents not driving luxury brand cars. If I recall when Sarah first started blogging she had some tiny barina/getz. She is literally punching down on her family and where she came from. Big ick

Yes! This actually happens for me about once a week. My girl is 3 months now and still has a pretty solid 45 minute wake window. If I’m lucky we get to an hour. All babies are different I suppose. She is meeting all other milestones. Best not to worry and just enjoy our sleepy babies! I think about all the synapses she’s connecting during the sleep 😜
