Remembrance Day (11 November) marks the anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War (1914–18). Each year Australians observe one minute silence at 11 am on 11 November, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
This year is not only the 95th anniversary of the armistice on 11 November which ended the First World War, but also the 20th anniversary of the reinterment of the Unknown Australian Soldier in the Australian War Memorial’s Hall of Memory. To mark the significant occasion, this year’s Remembrance Day Commemorative Address will be delivered by former Australian Prime Minister, the Hon Paul Keating, who delivered the poignant eulogy of the Unknown Australian Soldier in 1993.
At the end of the day at the Last Post ceremony, Ben Roberts-Smith VC will read that same eulogy to commemorate the unknown soldier and the 102,000 names listed on the Roll of Honour.
Experience Remembrance Day this year at the Memorial and remember all those who have served and sacrificed for Australia.

Hi. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy. I’ve just come from a final inspection that we have had for a particular purchaser. What you’ve got to do when you are purchasing a home on the day of settlement or day before settlement, just have a quick walk through the home that you did put the deposit down on, and looking at settling just to make sure that the inclusions and exclusions are there. Check for example, that air conditioners have their remotes, that the locked up spaces like garages that you may not be able to see into have been cleared out. That no pots or bricks or things that aren’t meant to be in the home are not there.
Things like lawn mowing is not actually on the title, a defective title so you possibly can’t hold settlement up because of that. Ultimately, all of those inclusions and exclusions are really important and possibly to look at them on the front end of the contract rather than the back end at the final inspection, because you’ve got a much better chance of things finalising completely the way you want it to, if you have it in that contract for sale. Always mark it off as an exclusion or an inclusion, whatever it is that you need and then with final settlement, just make sure that everything is there as per the contract for sale. Then you’ll have a smooth sailing for a great settlement. All right then. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I look forward to talking to you on the next video.
Hi, my name is Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’ve just come from a inspection at a home that had a valuation done on it. With evaluations they’re always done after contracts are exchanged, and it’s just to ensure that the bank’s lending the money against the right value, and they want to ensure that their not lending over and above what the home could potentially be worth. The situation is if the home is sold often a home is very close to market value or over and above market value, or what they perceive to be market value. In that instance, if the valuation doesn’t come up trumps, that means that obviously the agent’s done a really good job, and you’ve got more than what they perceive the market value to be of the home.
Equal it means that money needs to come from somewhere to ensure that it gets sold. For example, if the home is sold for 500,000 and the valuer thought that the home was only worth 490,000 it means that that difference of $10,000 needs to be met by somebody. Either the buyer comes up to that 500,000 by putting $10,000 into it, or the vendor if the buyer is unable to, is then asked the question whether they are willing to sell the home at 490 as opposed to 500, the agreed sale price.
It just depends on an individual circumstance, so it’s a case by case basis. It’s just a matter of working out each time that you sell your home as to how things pan out. Usually, nine times out of 10 you’re fine, or maybe eight times out of 10 you’re fine, but sometimes you’ll find that the home is not valued as high as what it might have been sold for. Sometimes it’s a process of negotiation, but it’s all good. If it’s managed in the correct way, it’s an easy process to follow. All right, if you’ve got any other questions in regards to those sorts of things or real estate, don’t hesitate to give me a call.
