We had some interested parties in the last 3 units of this JV, however we had to make a decision on how to proceed today. We had to give them deadline to get in by 9am UTC time, as we had a deadline to meet ourselves. A bit of pressure applied, which can help for…

Today we sold our Australian home!  Well, it was going to be our home. We purchased this property off the plan in 2014, and had planned to live in when Ethan finished primary school.  After we decided to move to the UK, we decided to sell it, and managed to do that before it completed…

We got the email from our solicitor today that we’ve completed*on Walter Road, which is great news! *For non-UK readers, completion here means we have paid the full purchase price and the Title will now be registered in our name.

We had a flip appear today, and taking a look at it, it was almost an immediate yes before doing the numbers as the opportunity to add value was immense by doing some land development style title splitting, subject to planning of course.
