Many of us have been there. You’re at home binge watching your favourite TV show or wrangling the kids, then all of a sudden, there’s water going everywhere! Burst water pipes unfortunately aren’t an unfamiliar tale, especially in older Canberra properties.

There’s lots of things to consider when selling a property. But what about if someone wants to sell their investment property that has tenants in it?

Often, people looking for a new place to live want something with character. That’s something a bit special.

Lystr, OX Rooms and Arcsite are all nominated for the awards that will be announced in Sydney on July 2nd.

he term “fixed price contract” sounds pretty good on the surface, right? Turns out it’s actually one of the most misleading phrases in residential building. Buried inside almost all of them are clauses that can quietly add tens of thousands to your final bill. And lots of homeowners don’t know they actually exist! So how do fixed price building contracts work? And what are these clauses that often catch homeowners out?

Labor’s Federal Budget handed down last week has certainly got tongues wagging, especially those in the property industry. Changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax have generated a mix of reactions. Many say young buyers will benefit, while there’s plenty who argue it’s just robbing Peter to pay Paul. There’s also many layers to the changes that are quite complex and tricky to understand.

Cam & Renee from the MIX106.3 Real Estate Show caught up with Helen Oakey, CEO of Renew.
