Hi all,
Currently on PPL ( Centrelink and work) have separated from partner recently. Still living under same roof, because of general rental crisis etc.
What happens with Centrelink? I currently only get ftb after tax returns are done ie lump sum, apart from Centrelink PPL I don’t get any other payments.i work FT when not on parental leave.
From other posts I’ve read you need a reference for Centrelink to claim your separated? I don’t understand this, only my mum knows- no idea about his side. I don’t have any friends to ask to me a reference or anyone in the community so what do I do here?
Thanks

Selling a 2 bedroom in inner north burbs of Melb. Seen similar units here go for 700k+
Our price guide is upto 725. Been on market 17 days, inspections dwindling.
Had 5 people ask for the contact to all be not interested..
No offers. I’m at a loss of what to do?
I want to sell as I want a bigger place further out.
My agent said after our inspection tomorrow we will have to re evaluate strategy- ie lower the price 🥴
I’ve seen places with less one bathroom go for 710-720 around here. And some with hideous photos- think moss in backyard, weeds everywhere etc.
All feedback has been about the buyers so to speak, ie “ too close to the train line” “ lounge too small” “ want to live in another suburb rather than this one”
What else can we do, any advice?

Hi all,
We are currently selling in inner northern Melbourne. Market is slow, been 2 weeks and nothing, anyway.. waiting for an offer to arise then to become unconditional, is this “safe” enough to be able to make an offer on a new house ( we have enough for the deposit for the new house)
I’m constantly thinking of all the worst case scenarios etc but my conveyancer and REA have assured me that once it becomes unconditional it’s set in stone and they have honestly not seen a settlement not occur and it’s very very rare.. Meanwhile my negative thoughts like “ what if the purchaser dies” creep in .
The other option is to totally wait until settlement happens and have to rent or air bnb, I’ve been looking and some are like 4.5k for a month and that’s cheap.. I would rather spend that money on the new house..
anyway help !
