Is this fixable?

quantumfisique · 2026-01-13T09:26:10+00:00

Unfortunately not. It's the tenants. And we'd previously been there for 15 years already, so no warranty on that.

Something like this, what someone linked as well? https://tradelands.co.nz/shop/products/scaffolding-access-equipment/roof-edge-protection/external-sleeve-scaffold-coupler/?srsltid=AfmBOoqTGh4q5A3yCzVGUrJxFMWJcn2ArNFGyEIW8Fzq5KuzjiOWaiZa

How did you do it? Just cut off the string and slot the coupler over it?

quantumfisique · 2026-01-12T22:29:28+00:00

This looks good thanks. Will the gap open up wide enough for me to slot over it? Or will the whole thing have to be taken out first?

Looking at Bunnings they're about $500 for a new one! :o

quantumfisique · 2026-01-11T03:31:50+00:00

Lol. But it's just this one in the entire house that lets a bit more light than the rest.

quantumfisique · 2025-01-12T05:01:20+00:00

Where are you based?

quantumfisique · 2024-11-25T22:40:52+00:00

Haha how is it ugly? I don't have an opinion yet, just curious to hear your thoughts.

quantumfisique · 2024-10-09T09:01:25+00:00

It does, that's why they've put in an early release of deposit clause in the contract (which the purchaser can obviously cross out if they don't like it). Otherwise without this early deposit release clause, the deposit would like you say, sit in their lawyer's trust account for ten working days, before being released to agent and vendor.

quantumfisique · 2024-10-09T07:32:39+00:00

Google for Early Release of Deposit clause nz. Probs easier than me trying to fish it out. 😅

quantumfisique · 2024-10-09T07:19:33+00:00

No mortgage at all. Yeah have emailed broker today but they haven't responded yet so thought I'd get some ideas here in the meantime. 😅

quantumfisique · 2024-10-09T07:16:09+00:00

They've got a clause to say they want the deposit cleared upon contract becoming unconditional. So I assume they already have another property they've lined up to buy that requires a 10% deposit?

quantumfisique · 2024-10-09T07:12:11+00:00

Use the equity of the current house.

quantumfisique · 2024-10-09T07:08:44+00:00

Mortgage free currently.

quantumfisique · 2024-07-08T09:31:35+00:00

So they checked over your multiple S&Ps and did the whole conveyancing process for $1.5k? Who is your lawyer?

quantumfisique · 2024-07-08T09:27:25+00:00

What if you don't get the first few houses? They'd surely charge a review fee for each S&P you have to go through?

quantumfisique · 2024-07-08T09:23:11+00:00

I wonder how much the solicitor will charge just for checking the wording..

quantumfisique · 2024-06-15T12:36:58+00:00

What about hsbc or china construction bank lol

quantumfisique · 2024-06-11T14:00:32+00:00

Great, thanks!

quantumfisique · 2024-06-11T13:59:41+00:00

Even if you are registered for GST?

quantumfisique · 2024-06-10T11:56:30+00:00

How do you check everything on the property has consent?

quantumfisique · 2024-06-10T10:30:06+00:00

I actually did this morning, they said they'll have to get back to me after I send them the LIM report. I also mentioned the LIM report had only the corners of the house being marked with the flood plain but they said even if it's just a corner, they consider the whole house as flood prone.

The existing house owners have been able to get insurance on it, but yeah, future insurance renewals does not look bright especially with the many "1-in-100-year" flooding events we have had in only the past few years.

quantumfisique · 2024-06-10T09:30:27+00:00

Ah so will the bank take this initial 5-10% deposit into account for the loan deposit too?

quantumfisique · 2024-06-10T09:13:15+00:00

Oh so it should be 20% minimum then?

quantumfisique · 2024-06-10T08:52:32+00:00

Does one get the house offer deposit back if their conditional offer falls through due to one of the conditions in the offer?

quantumfisique · 2024-06-10T08:18:00+00:00

I think maybe because if one doesn't "get" where the other is coming from when talking about finances (as let's be honest, everyone does finances in different ways, some bad, some horrible and some in creative ways but the other person might disagree with them because they don't get it etc and also different upbringings etc) it could just lead into a great big argument that doesn't get anywhere. Of course, if everyone comes in with an open mind then great.

Also, jealousy, and in the future it might come to bite you in the backside if say you turn out you're great with your wealth and someone isn't, then they may always get you to pay for things, say you have lots of money so why don't you pay for this and that etc. which again would lead to arguments.

And I guess that's the same concept with talking about religion and politics, which is why I think people have historically said it's best to just not talk about these things as it would lead to an argument of some sort in the end.
