In this episode, we're going to address one of the biggest elephants in the room so far in this podcast. In Australia, engineers don't have to be registered!

We talk to two experts, John Roydhouse, CEO of the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia, NSW a professional membership organization looking after the interest of public works engineering and all public infrastructure in NSW. And, Jonathan Russell, Engineers Australia, related to the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia.

Here’s some of what we covered:
Is the Build quality and safety of newly constructed housing up to scratch?
Why the financial well being of apartment owners can be at risk.
What’s the downside of an infrastructure and building boom coupled with hurried design, approval, construction and compliance processes?
Data around that points to 7 out of 10 new residential buildings have defects!
How Opal Tower, Lacrosse Tower or the London Grenfell Tower tragedy might have been prevented.

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!
