What's wrong with limiting NG to brand new house and land packages ? You still get to invest in a property using those generous tax concessions whilst adding to the supply
If people can't negative gear used housing how is that going to help increase the number of rental properties?
Last time i checked we aren't building enough new homes to meet demand.
Then you have the problem of shoddy workmanship in newer buildings try Google for Mascot Tower this is more widespread than reported.
I would prefer to invest in something that has been standing for over 50 years with no problems than take a chance on dodgy newer builds.
Only idiots with SFA real estate experience would touch those new builds. They are setting themselves up for financial ruin in the long term.
1. The land value is the 1st issue. These properties are far from the city and far from the coast and water. You can only reach these areas by tolled motorways which attempt to cut the time taken to get there.
2. The quality of the build will not be there. It’s all cheap and quick/high turnover/quantity over quality etc.
3. In many cases ... those selling these types of properties ARE the builders/working with the builders. That’s right! The real estate agents are involved as joint stakeholders in both building and selling.
4. Over the next 10 years...these properties will be lucky to rise by 100K in value.
5. Those “owners” by then realise they’ve essentially been done over. Many face being stuck with negative equity issues.
6. In some instances .. entire suburbs are now facing building issues. Look up the outer sydney suburb of Jordan Springs for a clue. The suburb is built on mud and is slowly sinking. People with mortgages can’t even renew their property insurance policies and they can’t sell either because no one wants a house that’s sinking nor can a bank lend money to anyone wishing to buy said house because it fails the crucial essential criterion of lending which is this : there MUST be a current insurance policy on the building before finance can be formally approved.
NOTE : I’ve often said this but I’ll say it again 👉 my posts are based on the Sydney property market.
