Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 59 ratings
  • I changed my rating

    I rated this podcast 5 stars a couple of years ago, but have since had cause to change that. For one, a recent episode about the price and length of time for building a home these days is wildly different to my experience, and really understated the reality that approval times and administrative processes take a painfully long time to complete. Much longer than the timeframes mentioned in the ep. Also, lots of advice is just for Victoria. Does HIA just handle Victoria or do they cover the whole ... more

This podcast has addressed and hopefully will continue to address the major fears and issues/questions that people like me have in... more
