“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them”.
“These very famous words are just a part of a poem by Laurence Binyon 1869-1943 that he called The Fallen. It was first published in the Times newspaper on 21 September 1914. As this was very early in the war, it was written as a reaction to the high casualty rates of the British Expeditionary Force at Mons and Le Cateau, but the four famous lines have now taken an existence of their own that apply to all war casualties.”
Lest we forget.

With new legislation most people would now be aware that everyone owning a swimming pool or spa needs to register these with their Local Council.
“From the 29 April 2013, all property owners of residential, multi occupancy and tourist and visitor accommodation, on which a swimming pool is located, are required to register their swimming pool on a new online, statewide register. Failure to do so may attract a fine of $220.
The Swimming Pool Register is designed to be a record of pools at an address, whether compliant with the relevant Standard, or not. The Register is not intended to operate as a compliance management system.”
Since that date we have received further correspondence from NSW Government advising there has been an extension on the due date as follows:-
“If you are thinking of selling or leasing your property, an additional twelve months has been provided before you need to have a pool compliance certificate before you can sell or lease your property.
From 29 April 2015, all properties with a backyard swimming pool or spa that are sold or leased will need to have a valid swimming pool compliance certificate. This additional twelve months provides property owners with more time to ensure that their swimming pool is compliant before their property is sold or leased.”
REINSW is urging members to encourage their vendors and landlords to apply for pool certificates where required, as concerns have been raised that there are not enough qualified insporters to meet the expected demand. See full article- REINSW

Hi. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy and I’ve just left a listing bright and early on Sunday morning, in at the lovely McGraths Hill. It was a two-story home, which is typically what they have in McGraths Hill. A lot of the homes are two set because of the flood levels. A lot of the homes had to be built that little bit higher for that reason. Typically they’ll put the rumpus room downstairs or teenager’s retreat. It’s a really good utilisation of space rather than having a wasted void there. Sometimes they’ll have the garage downstairs as well, but they’re really nice homes. There’s lots of parks. There’s Colbee Park. They play baseball, soccer, BMX, those sorts of things. There’s also some really good preschools in the area together with good facilities.
There’s the local shops that have lots of different things available to the locals. You’re within walking distance to the train if you wanted to catch the train at Mulgrave, and you’re also within walking distance to transport and those sorts of things. Anyway McGraths Hill’s at the top of my list for one of the best suburbs to buy in the Hawkesbury. If you’ve got any questions in regards to that, don’t hesitate to call me. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.
Hi, I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’ve just come from dropping off the set of keys and a nice little settlement gift to a purchaser that bought a house from me in South Windsor. Lovely couple, and they had a bit of a hiccup with their settlement. They weren’t going to be settling on time, and sometimes that does happen with settlements prior to, so you’ve got a standard 42 day settlement or six week settlement, and sometimes the banks or whoever it may be might not be ready to settle from the purchaser’s side or the vendor’s side. Expect little delays, but sometimes, or generally speaking they can be ironed out. It’s not such a problem in the end.
These particular people looked like that they were going to have to wait an additional three or four days for the settlement, but we were able to pull that together on time. The discharge of mortgage hadn’t been signed by one of the parties, but that was all done and set off to the bank in a quick manner. They were able to settle on time.
Just a nice part of my job, I suppose dropping off keys and settlement gifts to people that are really happy with their purchase. And equally vendors that have sold with me that are happy moving onto their next property. If you’ve got any questions in regards to your settlement or purchase, I’d be more than happy to help you. I’ll catch up with you on the next video.
