Strata manager Reena van Aalst gives an in depth perspective on strata living, highlights the pitfalls for the unwary and advises how to ensure you don’t live to regret buying into a strata complex. She gives us the benefit of her experience and uncovers:
The crucial information missing from most strata reports.
Early warning signs for buyers that a building could be a no-go zone.
Issues that cause pain for buyers of new apartments.
Horror stories of buyers who’ve bought without doing a strata report.
The type of buyer best suited to strata and those who should never buy an apartment.
Why your lawyer may not warn you of all the pitfalls.
What to do if you want to buy into a pet friendly building.
What rules can be enforced and to what extent.
How to best prepare for the experience of living in a “democracy”.
The responsibility of an owners corporation and consequences if they fail.
How entitlements and levies are calculated.
What a capital works forecast is and how they can be used.
Why special levies are raised and what owners can do about them.
How much work a strata manager does and how to get rid of a dud one.



All this as well as explanations of multifaceted strata, cost-sharing, community title, building management committees, tumelo and other things you’ve probably never heard of.

Who's really in control when you buy a property?

The Elephant In The Room is where the things that no one wants to talk about, actually get talked about.  

Veronica Morgan, real estate agent, buyers agent and co-host of Foxtel’s Location Location Location Australia & Chris Bates, financial planner, mortgage broker and wealth coach have joined forces to find out what’s really going on in the world of real estate.

Veronica and Chris talk to property owners and buyers every day in their respective lines of business. They’ve observed a wide spectrum of confidence in people’s decision making ability when buying and selling property, often to the detriment of the individuals concerned. They are both fascinated by consumer behaviour and together they’re going to uncover who’s really making the decisions when you buy a property.

In each episode they get into the psyche of buyers, agents, auctioneers and other industry experts to learn the truth about how buyers are influenced and why they do the things they do. In every episode you’ll learn from the mistakes of a “property dumbo” as well as Chris & Veronica’s “elephant rider bootcamp” training session.

The plan? This property podcast has been created to help us all make better property decisions!

We talk about the things no one wants to talk about in the Property Market
