Episode #15 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Rachael talks about the Final Inspection before settling on a property

21 July, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

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.

Episode #14 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – The rental process with Rachael Goldsworthy Realty

21 July, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi people. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy and I’m just going to talk to you about inspections. I’m heading off to McGraths Hill. I’ve got an open home there today. It’s for an inspection for tenants only. That’s for people that are looking to rent a home as opposed to buy a home. Usually you’ll get quite a number of people there given it’s quite a hot market in the rental market at the moment. There’s a lot of tenants out there and probably not as many homes for the tenants that are looking for homes.

With those inspections, they’re advertised on our website. Then the people turn up and have a look through the home, see what it’s that they’re after, and then after that then they take what they call a rental application for. That renal application form is then processed within our office and we nominate the three top most suitable tenants for the property. We put that forward to the owner. The owner then makes a decision based on that.

It’s really important that you go to these inspections. Look at as many homes as you possibly can do because if you don’t, just let that gentleman in. He’s trying to get in and there’s a lot of traffic here heading through Windsor. If you don’t get out to see as many homes as you possibly can, sometimes there’s better options available for you. You look at everything within the home. Remember whether there’s built in wardrobes. Remember whether there’s air conditioning. Fly screen are another important one because as a home is rented or once a home is rented or leased to a potential tenant, as is. Then if the landlord does not want to put those services in as additional services to you, you are stuck with in that timeframe of the lease.

What I recommend, just make sure you check all of the things that are really important to you, what you won’t compromise on as a tenant, and go from there. All right. If you need any further help in regards to renting your homes or looking at renting a home, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Things to do in the Hawkesbury #45

2 August, 2012 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Why not take a walk with a friend in Howe Park which is located on The Terrace, Windsor by the Hawkesbury River.  Kids can take their bikes, you could take your skates or your four legged friends as there is a pathway which makes for easy navigation.  There are seats to sit to have lunch, a sight seeing deck to view the River at its best vantage point so much to see and do.

Let me know what you and your friends & family enjoyed the most.

Rachael 🙂
