Just got off the phone to the agent. Sold for $440,000, owner wanted minimum $450,000. Unit size is 54 meters squared = $8,100 m2, a lot less than previous sales in the block. Sat on the market for a long time and in the words of the agent, a "soft" result. The lack of car park was thought to be...

I largely could ignore them in front of the clinic but if they are going to camp out-front it will be more difficult.

So now that its complete, how do 166'ers like your new tram stop?

Sold today at Auction for $475,000. It was getting $450 a week rental, so a good result for the buyers and seller I'd say. According to a real estate agent I know who follows sales at 166, that equates to ~$8,500/m2, a tad shy of the $8,900/m2 achieved with unit 801 a few months ago.

Hi Michael, Talk to Ismail, he is a whizz with the Fermax intercom system in the building. He arranged ours to be fixed with the Fermax technician, who comes every month.

Hi Scott, #207 are repeat offenders with excessive noise. I notice a lot of different groups at the window so it is probably a short-stay apartment on airbnb or similar. I totally agree with your sentiments about everyone's right to peace & quiet in your own home, and can only hope some action...

Hi William, This morning (Sunday) I heard a young girl shout "Glass! Glass!" from the pool. I went out to have a look & there was a family with many young children around the pool, trying to avoid standing on a glass "mug" that had smashed into many sharp pieces. It was far enough away from...

Hi 166's The current noisy party is actually from #707 - A boisterous bunch of German's by the sound of the accents. Scott, it might sound like it comes from below you because the sound comes from the open window (of #707) and bounces off the hard surfaces in the pool area / rear apartments and...

Hi Saijo, Sorry to tell you your download speeds are very poor. Your download speed = 1.787 Mbps = 220 KBytes/sec (0.2 MB/sec) = 4 times the old 'dial up' speed of 56 kB/sec ADSL2+ users should be getting around 1 to 1.5 MB/sec here at 166 Wellington, 5 to 7 times faster than your speed. Try...

hi saijo, try testing your speed here- http://www.speedtest.net/ It will give you a grade A to F. Your speed is marginally faster than mine, probably giving you a "C" grade. (post the link it gives you after the speedtest to see your score.) 166 wellington is over 1km from the Collingwood...

Just wanted to say what a wonderful job the cleaning company did on the cement pavers around the pool area. I took this photo (below) and it shows how dirty the pavers were, and what a fantastic job their machine did removing the years of caked on dirt and mold. I obtained a business card from...

Walking home from work through Fitzroy Gardens I saw a crop of mushrooms just near the middle bridge, under some of the huge old elm trees. On close inspection, they had white gills (see photo) Confirmed death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides), where as little as 1 mushroom can cause severe...

Sure, Ismail's mobile No. is here: (his mobile is still current) http://www.166wellington.com/threads/on-site-manager-details.19/

Probably best Alex if you let Ismail know of your problem as well. (Catch him in the office or by email/phone/SMS) Then if a call-out by the intercom guys (company called Fermax) is required, they can do both at the same time. My issue is definately not related to your issue. My intercom...

Hi Alex Just saw this - Can you confirm if there was a genuine theft from our mail-room?

Mine is not working either, but hasn't worked for months (years?) so probably a different issue. I emailed Ismail last night so hopefully if a fix is required, both problems can be fixed at the same time.

Unit 708 was actually only a 1 bedroom, with an area of 56m2, so $458k was actually a pretty good price. I went to the auction, held out the front of the building where only a small crowd was gathered. There was 1 bidder who bid only once or twice from memory, up to the $410k mark, against a...

Hi Leo may I ask what the "going rate" is for a car space? Thanks, Steve
