In today’s episode Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates interview Kris Daff, managing director of Make Venture, a Melbourne-based boutique development and investment company, Kris is also the managing director of Assemble, a homeowner-focused development company. Assemble attempts to bridge the gap between renting and home ownership by offering unique community-based development projects.

Here’s what we covered:
New direction for creating communities, rather than ‘just’ developments
The severity of housing anxiety
Ownership and locking down where you want to live
Housing prices growing faster than consumers ability to save
Why is one of Australia’s the largest super funds interested in one of Assembles developments
Building the gap between societal needs and development projects
How nurturing meaningful relationships in a complex can increase tenancy lengths
Creating scarcity by creating quality communities
How to find out how your builder attends to defects
If you are going to buy off-the-plan how to do your due diligence

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!
