Brisbane Property Podcast

Building & Pest Inspections provide insurance for a property buyer to ensure there are no hidden problems associated with the building itself.  In this episode, we draw on Scott's 30+ years of building and construction experience where we identify some of the most common issues that come up during a Building & Pest inspection.

We discuss when to complete this part of the purchase process and why this step is important for property buyers in Brisbane.

Finally, we discuss what to do if a problem is detected, and what your options may be as a property buyer when something is not to your satisfaction.

Whether you are a home buyer, or an investor, you will find some key takeaways in this episode.  We hope you enjoy listening!

This episode is all about what is happening in the Brisbane Property Market right now.  We take a deep dive into the data and discuss the numbers in detail, and we also cover what we are seeing by being on-the-ground every day.

We identify suburbs in Brisbane that are "at risk" due to rent drops, increasing vacancy and rent stress as a consequence of the current economic environment.

We also highlight the fact that other areas in Brisbane have experienced minimal impact with strong demand from both buyers and tenants, despite the macro-economic environment.

Finally, we highlight the current state of supply and demand in Brisbane - which is critical to understand as this is fundamentally what drives property values one way or the other.

For those seeking relevant up-to-date information specific to Brisbane - this episode is for you!

The HomeBuilder grants have been designed to stimulate the construction industry and support jobs during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

In this episode, we discuss the benefits for those looking to take advantage of this stimulus, and how alluring this might be for first home buyers when combined with other State and Federal incentives currently on offer. 

We also take a deep dive into some of the pitfalls that people need to be aware of if they decide to take advantage of the HomeBuilder Grant to build a brand new home in one of the new land estates within Greater Brisbane.

Finally, we discuss how home owners can maximise the opportunity to build equity in their property through renovation, without overcapitalising.

If you are thinking of applying for the HomeBuilder grant, or if you are considering buying or building in a brand new estate, then this episode will provide lots of value.

In this episode, we welcome our special guest, Alex Steffan, from Steffan Town Planning in East Brisbane.  Together with Alex, we discuss the role of a Town Planner, why City Plans exist and how they are used to shape the development of a City.

We take a deep dive into what types of properties in Brisbane require professional input from a Town Planner - even if you are just looking to renovate and Alex shares some tips with buyers as to what types of improvement works can be done to a property in Brisbane without a development approval from council. 

We also explain the difference between a "Splitter Block" and a "1 into 2" subdivision site and Alex identifies the biggest blunder he sees buyers making when purchasing properties in Brisbane.

Brisbane is a River City, and many parts of our City can be significantly impacted by flood waters. 

In this episode, we unpack the different types of flooding that can impact Brisbane properties.  We also discuss, in detail, how to perform the necessary due diligence checks before you buy, to determine what the potential flood risk associated with a property might be.

As long term Brisbane residents, we also help listeners to understand the devastation that river flooding can cause through real stories from when we joined the "mud army" after Brisbane's most recent 2011 river flood event.

And finally, we talk about what you need to look for in a property, that may have previously been inundated by flood waters, to ensure you are not buying a problem that you do not know exists.

This is such an important and unique aspect of Brisbane Property that we decided to dedicate an entire episode to this topic.  We are confident you will find some value.

Brisbane is a rapidly changing location.  Our City is currently experiencing, what has been described by some, as a "once in a generation" Infrastructure Boom that will change the way we commute, live and experience our great City.

In this episode, we discuss some of the major projects in Brisbane that are currently under construction or in the planning phase of the development pipeline.  These projects, once complete, will improve our transportation options, our lifestyle options and provide plenty of future employment opportunities in Brisbane.

If you own Property in Brisbane, or if you are considering buying in Brisbane, you may consider not just what Brisbane looks like today ... but what Brisbane will look like in the future!

The way we live in Brisbane, and the style of our properties, is quite different to other areas around Australia.  We get it ... Brisbane is Hot and Humid ... so how does this impact what features are most desirable for a Tenant?

This Episode is for Property Investors who are considering purchasing an Investment Property or who already own an Investment Property in Brisbane. 

We welcome our very special guest, Teliah Furner, who is a Buyer's Agent with Streamline Property Buyers, but who also has years of Property Management experience here in Brisbane.  Teliah shares some great tips on how you can ensure the features in your Investment Property appeal to the largest potential Tenant market.

You may wonder why we need to take a deep dive into this.  Isn't Property Investing all about the location and not the property itself?

Well the answer is simple!  When you own an Investment Property in an Investment Grade location, that also has the most desirable features, your property is more likely to attract a quality tenant who will stay longer ... and this means better security of income for you as an Investor!
