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!2025 Veronica Morgan & Chris Bates 個人ファイナンス 政治・政府 経済学

  • Uninsurable? The Hidden Risks in Strata and Property Insurance
    2025/07/20
    When it comes to property ownership in Australia, few topics are as misunderstood—and as crucial—as insurance. In this episode, Veronica sits down with Kimberley Jonsson, CEO of CHU Insurance, to unpack the growing risks in strata and property insurance and why many owners might be underprepared. From the rising cost of premiums to the unseen dangers lurking in older buildings, Kimberley brings expert insight into the systemic issues shaping Australia’s housing market—and what that means for you. We dive into how the Insurance Affordability Index reveals a stark difference between houses and strata properties, why mandatory strata insurance may be more affordable than you think, and the real consequences of underinsurance. Kimberley also shares powerful case studies—including a Bondi building on the brink of collapse—that challenge conventional thinking about risk, responsibility, and return on investment in the property space. Whether you're an investor, owner-occupier, strata manager, or buyer's agent, this episode will shift how you think about property protection and help you make smarter, faster decisions. Because when it comes to insurance, delaying action costs more than just money. Enjoyed this episode?
