They say strata is a world of contradictions and never has that been so obvious as this week when one report reveals a shortage of housing, most of which will need to be filled by apartments, yet one of our biggest and most highly regarded apartment complex builders has gone into voluntary administration at a time when apartment prices are rising. Is it because materials have gone up but the availability of skilled workers has gone down, both due to the pandemic? Probably, to some extent. Or is it partly just bad timing? But could it be that the idea of building a 366-unit scheme plus transport hub, plus 10-cinema complex, in Brisbane was too many eggs in an already brimming basket? We have a look at the Probuild collapse and what it could mean for their purchasers and the industry as a whole. Maybe some of those apartments were (and still are) going to be second homes or holiday let investments for Sydneysiders.  Sue looks at people who have the best of both worlds with handy pads in the city and glorious getaways in the country. Apparently selling your big house in the burbs to buy a small flat in the city and a cottage in the country is called “right-sizing”, a term surely coming to sales brochure near you, soon. Also we celebrate our sponsors Lannock being selected to manage the NSW government's interest-free loans for flammable cladding remediation. And we introduce a free training program for strata schemes to find out all they need to know about electric vehicle (EV) charging. That's all in this week's Flat Chat Wrap. TRANSCRIPT IN FULL  Jimmy  00:00 They say it never rains, but it pours and it's certainly been pouring... Sue  00:04 My gosh, has it ever! Jimmy  00:07 And it's true about stories as well, it seems. We've got a whole bunch of stuff to talk about today. What have we got, Sue? Sue  00:14 I think at first, we are going to be talking about the shortage of new apartment dwellings; new figures have come out, which are a bit shocking. Jimmy  00:21 And then there's the collapse of Probuild and news about loans for flammable cladding, Sue  00:27 Yes, remediation work, for flammable cladding. Jimmy  00:30 Well, we'd better get on with it. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  00:36 I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  00:39 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Jimmy According to a report presented to the Property Council conference last week, we have a huge housing shortage, in New South Wales. Sue  01:05 Yes, particularly of apartments... Jimmy  01:07 That's Sydney, I suppose, especially. They're saying that, because apartment completions have nearly halved, from their 2017-18 peak of 30,000 and free-standing houses have come back (in terms of builds), then that's left a huge gap for housing the numbers of people that we need to house. Michael Koziol has written about this for the Sydney Morning Herald. I know I tend to be a bit cynical, but one minute we're hearing there's going to be a glut of apartments and the next, we're hearing that there aren't enough; what's going on? Sue  01:45 Well, I think in the past, there have been gluts of apartments in different areas, where there's been a huge concentration of development (like maybe in Green Square in Sydney, and in Victoria, in the Docklands), but really, we should be getting a lot more apartments, all around transport hubs. That's really still not happening; we are getting a few, but mostly, there's a few houses being built around transport hubs, which provides nothing like the density we actually need, to accommodate a growing population. Jimmy  02:16 Do you remember a couple of years ago, there was this fantastic plan to build apartment blocks on top of railway lines? Sue  02:25 Yes, and it's happened in a couple of cases, but nowhere near enough.

Forgive us for patting ourselves on the back this week but, having surpassed 20,000 downloads and listens to the podcast, I reckon we've earned a little self-indulgence.   Suffice it to say that the audience for our weekly ramblings is growing steadily, and that has to be good. This week we turn our attention to the extended moratorium on rental evictions and the compensation for landlords who reduce the rents of tenants who are doing it tough. You can read all about that HERE. Then we discuss France's vaccine passport and how people are taking that up with gusto (or should that be elan?).  Sue thinks the idea of vaccine passports is complicated – Jimmy vehemently disagrees. You can also read some other arguments, both pro and con, HERE. LISTEN HERE We talk about how and why rental vacancies are going up in Melbourne but have plateaued in Sydney. We dig into Building Commissioner David Chandler's latest attempts to expose the shonks and swindlers in the building trade, this time by focussing his laser vision on the worst of the worst certifiers and sending them a collective “My office, now!” Jimmy talks about the odd letter from Kerry Chant's office that took a week to confirm it was real. By the way, it came out after this podcast was in the can but we now know why it was issued, as NSW Health gets ready blitz apartment blocks. We ask why 90 per cent of strata professionals and committee members would not recommend buying off the plan to friends, family or colleagues. Sue takes us to Green Square where the population density is greater than in New Delhi but the facilities there make it a very nice place to live. And we discuss why cats are OK for apartment blocks but not so great at ground level. That's all, and more, in this week's Flat Chat Wrap. TRANSCRIPT IN FULL Jimmy  00:00 We achieved quite a milestone this weekend, as regards this podcast. Sue  00:05 Yeah? Jimmy  00:05 Overnight, we had our 20,000th download. Sue  00:11 Wow! 20,000? Jimmy  00:12 Yeah, so that's spread over 138 podcasts, but still, it's okay. Sue  00:18 Oh, that's amazing. Congratulations, Jimmy. Jimmy  00:23 We have probably more than 50% more listeners, than we had this time last year. Sue  00:28 Oh, fantastic! Jimmy  00:30 I read something that said, if you get more than 135 listeners in your first two weeks, you are in the top 50% of podcasts in the world and we're way ahead of that. Sue  00:47 That's great. Well, thank you, everybody listening, for supporting us. Thanks for listening in. Jimmy  00:52 It could be one person, listening to it 20,000 times. I doubt that that's the case;  I'd be a bit worried if it was. Sue  00:58 They'd be in hospital by now, I'd imagine. Jimmy  00:59 Getting back to this week's podcast, we're going to talk about David Chandler's battle to build confidence in apartment building. Things like certifiers; he's putting certifiers under the microscope and the irony of trying to build confidence by pointing out problems. Before that, we're going to talk about the continuing payments for rent reductions available to landlords. The evictions moratorium has also been extended. And, we're just going to talk about high-density living. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  01:27 And I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  01:42 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap.

Sue  02:08 That's in New South Wales, not in Victoria; I don't think they have a moratorium there. Jimmy  02:14 Well, New South Wales is obviously at the moment, in a lot more trouble with COVID than anywhere else in Australia. Sue  02:21 That's right and, it's been going on for longer.

This week on the podcast we look GOMO, specifically grief over missing out on your dream home. It's the other side of FOMO, where fear of missing out has you plunging headlong into what might be unwise purchases and contracts. When it comes to houses, it can feel more like a seduction and betrayal when you've been encouraged to imagine living there for years of domestic bliss, then the faithless vendor goes and sells it to someone else, just because they have more money. You can get a taste of Sue's original article on GOMO (© Sue Williams) for Domain here. LISTEN HERE Then we chat about sea changers and tree changers, why people are fleeing our city centres and where they are going. And try to explain exactly how we came to ignore our own advice about diligently doing your homework before purchasing a flat, especially off the plan, and plunged into buying one in Kiama. We talk about how newcomers to strata often don't have a clue about their rights and responsibilities and how an Owners Corporation Network and City of Sydney webinar is setting out to resolve that issue. And we discuss the benefits of having electronic notice boards in our lifts (not so much those highlighted in this week's newsletter).  That's all in this week's Flat Chat Wrap. TRANSCRIPTION IN FULL Jimmy 0:00 A couple of years ago, you invented an acronym, which was GOMO. What does that stand for, Sue? Sue 0:06 That's right. It was a variation of FOMO; you know, fear of missing out. I was doing a story about grief, when you do actually miss out and so I called it 'grief over missing out.' It never really caught on, GOMO, but in fact, I was asked the other day to write another story about GOMO! And, I was delighted, because maybe this time, it will stick. Jimmy 0:27 So, we'll be talking about GOMO; what else have we got? Sue 0:32 The move of lots of people towards coastal regions in Australia (and also regional areas as well), post-COVID and the newest recruits to that trend. Jimmy 0:43 Right. And, we're going to be talking about your rights and responsibilities when you move into an apartment block and how you can get some advice on that. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue 0:59 And I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy 1:02 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Jimmy So Sue, you've been writing about GOMO; 'grief over missing out?' Sue 1:22 Yes, because the housing market at the moment is so tough and the apartment market is similarly tough. I mean, in some areas, it's a little bit soft, particularly in Melbourne CBD. It's kind of quite easy to buy an apartment there and the prices haven't gone up at all and in certain areas (well, very few areas of Sydney is the same). Harris Park out west, has actually shown a drop in apartment prices, but everywhere else, apartments are doing incredibly well. There's a huge demand; an excess of demand over supply. A lot of people are going to auctions or trying to buy apartments that are actually for sale, and a lot of them are missing out and time and time again. Jimmy 2:07 I thought apartment prices were going down and rents were going down? Sue 2:12 Rents have gone down but they're coming back up again. Apartment prices in most areas are quite strong. They're just soft in some areas; the CBD's of most cities (certainly Melbourne and Sydney), but in lots of other areas, apartments are doing pretty well and there is still a shortage of apartments in many areas. There's an excess (Docklands), or Green Square over in Sydney, but in most areas, it's quite patchy and demand is much greater than supply, so lots of people are missing out, a lot.

In what turned out to be a fairly hectic week we hit a very welcome speedbump in the form of enforced rest and relaxation at a new apartment block launch, of all places. The apartment block was Portman on the Park in Sydney’s Green Square where Mirvac launched their latest concept with an evening of meditation, massage and mineral water. You can hear all about that and what’s so different about this project on the podcast where we also caught up with architects Tina Engelen who co-designed another iconic, environmentally conscious block, the Altair in Sydney's Kings Cross. Listen Here So what has changed in her view of her job in the 20-plus years since the Altair was built?  A lot but she still constructs great big wide buildings that are really a series of independent towers stacked side by side. You’ll hear Tina and her collaborator Will Fung talk about the challenges of creating more intimate areas in massive buildings too. You can find out more about the Portman on the Park here. Then we move on to the NSW government’s Real Estate Experts panel which has been set up to make the industry more responsive to the needs of their consumers (it says here). Great idea – shame they didn’t include any consumer groups around the table.  Look forward to more reports on people telling us what they think we should have rather than us telling them what we need. Next, it's the NSW state government’s invisible blacklist for short-term holiday letting miscreants.  Plus, why, unlike in Victoria, landlords don’t need a reason to terminate rental agreements. And finally, there’s a tribute to Barry Dickson, who was the real Darryl Kerrigan of The Castle, holding out in his little bungalow on a corner as high-rises went up all around him.  That’s all in this week’s Flat Chat Wrap. Transcript in Full Jimmy  00:00 It's been a busy week in strata-land. Sue 00:02 Yes! Jimmy  00:03 Well, we were at what is possibly the most relaxing launch of a new apartment building, ever. Sue 00:10 That's true… Jimmy 00:12 And, all sorts of announcements from the government, so we'd better get cracking! I'm Jimmy Thomson; I edit the Flat Chat website and write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  00:23 And I’m Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  00:27 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Jimmy  00:47 We were at a very relaxing launch (it was kind of weird, to be honest), at the Mirvac Portman on the Park building. Sue  00:55 It's centered around wellness; everything's very healthy and sustainable and green. The building's meant to make you happy and relaxed, so they tried to make us happy and relaxed at the launch. Jimmy  01:15 Well yes, to give us a sense of what it might be to live there, because they’ve got a building in George St (an office building), which has a ‘WELL’ rating, and they want that to be the first apartment building in Australia to have a WELL rating, so I had a quick look at what gets you a WELL rating. Sue 01:35 What does? Jimmy  01:36 Clean water, clean air and good light, so basically anything that helps you to be physically and mentally healthy, is going to get you those things. We had a water sampling… Sue  01:50 A water tasting, and because I don't drink, I thought I’d be really good at the water tasting, but in fact I was rubbish. Jimmy  02:02 Almost got them all exactly wrong! We had very nice food; very healthy food and then we were all taken into a darkened room and we had to meditate. Sue  02:13 We had a guided meditation… Jimmy 02:18 Which I found quite stressful. Sue 02:21 Because you had to breathe at the same time. There was a special length of breath that you had to have, which was a bit beyond me. Jimmy  02:24 ‘Hold your breath for eight seconds.’ Sue 02:30 That's not relaxing at all! Jimmy 02:32

Do you know what your strata-living tribe is? Are you economically engaged, young and jobless or under-employed, battlers, established owners, downsizers or even public housing tenants? Professor Bill Randolph of UNSW department of the Built Environment was recently interviewed for an extensive feature in the Sydney Morning Herald in which he discussed a survey that reveals the reality of who is living in apartments in Sydney, rather than who is presented on the glossy sales brochures. We are not all, it seems, middle-aged middle-class couples sipping chardonnay on our harbour view balconies.  Far from it. Listen Here Even less likely are we grey-haired newbies who’ve retired and downsized, or been in the same apartments for decades. These tribes do exist, for sure, but not in the numbers promotional material would have us believe. It’s a deliberately shorter (and we hope, sweeter) podcast this week as we dig into the question of who really lives in apartments and why. Awful apartments And there was another SMH article that caught our eye in the past week or so; a treatise by architecture writer Elizabeth Farrelly about how awful it is to live in a shitty apartment in a crap building in a crowded area of the city. Hey, Liz, we could have told you, if you’d only asked. But, seriously, she makes some very valid points, mainly that too many buildings and apartments are designed for sale to people who have no idea what they’re getting into, or to investors whose only thought is the bottom line. To add economic insult to infrastructure injury, they are often managed by cabals of connected professionals whose main purpose seems to be to find ways of extracting more money from renters and owners rather than charging reasonable fees for making their lives more liveable. All of which led to a discussion on this week’s podcast about expectation and experience. Basically, if you have moved from a grossly overcrowded one-bedder in a building with no facilities, are you going to complain about living in a fairly squeezy two-bedder in a block where the lift occasionally breaks down? 25 floors, no lifts As an extreme example, we cite this block in Chongquing, China, which has 25 floors but no lifts.  However, as we explain, it’s not as challenging for penthouse residents as it sounds. The key to all this is money.  If you have enough of it, you can make choices.  If you don’t, you have to choose which compromises you are going to make, whether they be between location, size, facilities or liveability. That’s why it make sense to rent when you first set up home, than help pour money into the developer feeding trough by pursuing this national obsession with owning property regardless of who built it and how well or badly it’s managed. Finally,  we manage to mention the Infinity building in Green Square without mentioning the reason we are mentioning them … it has won The Urban Developer’s Development of the Year – High Density Residential award. There’s all that and more, including a question for regular podcasters: do you like to hear other voices on the pod or would you rather just hear Sue and JimmyT in shorter podcasts (or a bit of both?). Let us know on mail@flat-chat.com.au. Non-podders can catch up with our ramblings in the transcript below. Transcript in full Jimmy  00:00 Do you know which apartment tribe you're a member of? Sue  00:03 I think I'm part of the tribe, ‘economically-engaged.’ Jimmy  00:06 Okay, you're not ‘established-owner or downsizer?’ Sue  00:12 Well, I guess I could be ‘established-owner’, but they’re kind of over 65. I’m not over 65. A long way off, Jimmy. Jimmy  00:21 I am! I'm part of both of those things; both of those tribes. There was a big article in The Sydney Morning Herald recently and we're going to be talking about that today. I'm Jimmy Thomson. Sue  00:32 And I'm Sue Williams.

Rhys Williams and Alex Thorpe are the co-founders of UKO Co-Living which is Australia's first Co-Living operation. Rhys and Alex pioneered the extended stay furnished accommodation market in Sydney, Australia. They commenced trading a single apartment in 2002 and grew to a portfolio exceeding 400 keys under the Furnished Property brand with a mix of freehold and leasehold assets offering flexible furnished rental accommodation to the extended-stay market. This lead to a move into the hotel market where they established a national network of hotel brands under Veriu Group including Veriu Hotels & Suites in 2015 (384 keys) and the Punthill Apartment Hotels (804 keys) in 2018. Rhys and Alex have successfully raised capital and joint ventured with publicly listed developers and fund managers such as Folkestone/Chater Hall where they have delivered a $50 million 144 key micro-apartment hotel at Green Square in Sydney which will be marketed as Australia's first micro-apartment hotel. They also recently completed a $15 million conversion of Wentworth House in Surry Hills into a 112 key hotel. Rhys and Alex have now returned to their rental accommodation roots with the development of the UKO Co-living brand where they are set to carve out a significant transformation of the rental accommodation market in Australia. UKO has successfully delivered two Co-Living sites in the Sydney in 2019 and will open an additional four sites in 2020. Rhys and Alex are firm believers that the rental market needs to change to meet the needs of the millennial renter and key worker. They believe that efficient micro apartment design with connected communal areas can improve affordability without having to compromise on lifestyle. They also feel that rental accommodation should offer a greater sense of community providing renters with the ability to make social and professional connections in order to combat the rise of loneliness for modern renters. With their roots firmly entrenched in the rental accommodation market, complimented by their experience in hotel development, design and customer service Rhys and Alex are perfectly positioned to transition the Co-Living concept into the Australian market. http://www.uko.com.au ♥ ---- Thank you for watching this video—Please SHARE IT and leave a comment!

We discussed a designer's role including: Why designers look to market buildings to connect with your emotion. Social media strategies that cost you money by targeting social proof & subconscious decision making. The theatrical & engaging world of display suites - is the glossy brochure finally dead? How buying in 1st & 2nd stages of a development can impact growth. Will AI transform the way people buy property? Sustainability - what housing model should we live in & how efficient is it for our city?  Visionary things happening on the fringe of Sydney.

Settings include in a couple's home, in a house with children, in a school, in the workplace and in a shopping mall, and each demonstrates two people who struggle to get along because of their differences.
