  2. i know of a couple of people who have built in burns beach their houses are now worth what it cost them to build , so they are at evens at the moment , if your looking to build in oceanreef there isnt a lot of land so unless a house gets knocked down and the land split to a smaller block your proberly looking in the region of late $600,000 to $ 800,000 for the land , if its split into a smaller block and you can find one proberly in the region of $ 400,00 to $500,000, what you have to watch for also in beach side suburbs is limestone when they are digging the pad out if you hit that your site costs can go !@#$%^. they are doing some large discounts on land at alkimos to get them moving you can look at these reductions on the satterly web site

    Car Insurance

    your car rego covers you for third party , ive seen on this site some people think it means third party insurance , it dosnt it means third party injury , so if you are in an a accident and its your fault the other party can claim for injuries on you car rego insurance , i had an old man hit me years ago and he thought he was insured with third party , turns out he had no insurance coverage at all he had totally misunderstood it .

  19. i have no idea what rents are in the uk i had a friend who lived in inverness and the rents she quoted me [ a few years ago] shocked me she told me 175 quid a week about 14 years ago was what she was paying , so i assumed rents were cheaper here , silly me !!lol my daughter has built a lovely 3x2 in butler and ive seen simular houses renting for 350/ 390 a week , which is a reasonable rent , although it wasnt that mant years ago you could rent a nice place for 180 , every thing has gone up , i suppose its the same the world over
  20. i know a lot of people that live on less than $90k and live well its all relative to life style i suppose im not sure i under stand this 3to 1 ratio you will earn dollars and spend dollars does that mean i pay $ 1.99 for two litres of milk and you pay 68p for the same two litres ? i guess an average rent would be $400/ $ 450 a week for some thing reasonable ,how does that equate with a rent in parts of the uk ? i suppose im used to prices here its been to long since i lived in the uk
