In this episode of Retirement Living Your Way, Greg Black and Troy Theobald from RFS Advice speak with Paul Harrison from Kollosche about the practical realities of buying property on the Gold Coast.

 

Following on from their earlier conversation about selling, this episode explores the buyer’s side of the property journey, including how to clarify your budget, separate non-negotiables from nice-to-haves, and avoid common downsizing mistakes.

 

Paul shares practical insights into apartment and townhouse living, body corporate considerations, subject-to-sale contracts, building and pest reports, auction strategy, deposits, settlement periods and what makes a property attractive for future resale.

 

For retirees, pre-retirees and families helping the next generation enter the market, this conversation highlights the importance of understanding the lifestyle problem you are trying to solve before making a major property decision.
