If a tree grows on your property, you can prune and remove it if it is likely to damage a wall, a fence or paving, provided you obtain a Council Permit.

But what can you do if the tree grows on your neighbour’s property, and the branches or the roots are causing damage, or are likely to cause damage to your property, or a high hedge is planted inside a boundary seriously obstructing your sunlight or view?

In NSW, the Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act gives you the right to take action against the neighbour’s trees – and makes the neighbour legally responsible for damage caused.
 

VENDOR FINANCE FOR PROPERTIES
With the GFC heralding demise of the sub-prime lenders and the Banks tightening up their lending criteria, between 10% and 20% of potential homebuyers no longer have access to traditional finance to buy their own home.

This gap in the marketplace is gradually being filled by non-traditional financiers, who offer what is known as vendor finance or seller finance to help homebuyers to buy their own home.

Selling homes using vendor finance helps sellers as well as buyers. Sellers can broaden their property’s appeal because the buyers don’t have to find their own finance, and can sell at the price the property is worth.

There are several different kinds of vendor finance, all of which use traditional legal documents.

There is Rent to Buy, Rent to Own, Instalment Contracts, Second Mortgage Carry Backs, Deposit Finance, and Delayed Completion Finance.
