We get the inside scoop from Kerry Hunt, Manager of the Building Certification Team at Inner West Council in Sydney. With 40 years in Building Surveying in local government both here and in the UK she’s adept at navigating the complexity of planning, building and certification legislation.

We look at the nuts & bolts of:
Building approvals & conflicts of interest in the Building Certifying Act & what needs to change.
Who is really to blame for the poor quality of our apartment buildings? 
What does a certifier do & are private certifiers high risk options?
Why did councils lose the power? What is the difference between the way things used to be done and how they are now?
What certificates should be in a contract of sale and what do they all mean?
Why it’s critical to invest time in due diligence pre purchase.

It’s a great episode, exposing some home truths.GUEST WEBSITES:Inner West Council Building Certification Team - Kerry Hunt Read the transcript:www.theelephantintheroom.com.au/podcasts087

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
