Curved bookshelves to fit curved walls

June 12th 2008 04:37
curved sexy bookshelves
As architects get wild and deviant, they're making homes that spin off into the wild, uncharted realms of originality. Sure, you can buy the house, but how can you buy furniture to fit the place?

These curved bookshelves are the sexy answer to your sexy dilemma. While I'd say you'd be happier making these shelves, if you're all thumbs and $100 dollar bills, you might as well get these architects to come into your place and do you right. Expect a savage beating though, because style like this doesn't come cheap

If you're looking for real estate, there's a good chance that you'll end up buying some furniture to go with your new home.

If you're looking for real estate in Sydney, you're either so rich that you're going to buy whatever the hell furniture you want, as long as it's chic - or the new mortgage is going to break your finances, so you're planning to stay frugal on the furnishings

Heritage Listing

March 9th 2007 00:30
Hear the words "heritage listing" and it can send shivers down the spine's of property purchasers and developers. Every Friday for the next few weeks I'll discuss different aspects of heritage listed property and address some of the more common questions related to those people who are either looking to invest in a heritage listed property or presently own a heritage listed property.

Heritage listed properties are idenitfied distinctly from regular properties. There are a number of local, State and Commonwealth heritage laws that may affect heritage listed property which are not relevant to non-heritage listed property. On a federal level, the Commonwealth of Australia Parliament passed heritage legislation in September 2003 which identifies, conserves and protects places of national heritage significance. These include the Environment and Heritage Legislation Amendment Act (No 1) 2003 (Cth), Australian Heritage Council Act 2003 (Cth) and the Australian Heritage Council (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2003. Where appropriate, the relevant local or state legislation will apply to a heritage listed property.

Sub Letting your Rented Place

February 16th 2007 00:01
Sub-letting is where you enter into a residential tenancy agreement and later give another person the right to occupy all or part of the rented premises, but you keep the tenancy in your own name. You would be known as the head-tenant and the person you sub-let to is called the sub-tenant. The sub-tenant’s name is not on the original agreement, but they should enter into a further residential tenancy agreement with you. Sub-letting often occurs in share housing where there is a high turn-over of tenants.

Before you can sub-let the premises you must have the written permission of the landlord/owner of the property. A landlord can refuse permission for you to sub-let, even without reasonable grounds.
