Ever wondered what happens if your home is so badly damaged by an accident that you have to move out? Who pays for your accomodation? Where will it be? And are there any guarantees it will be big enough for you and your family?

In this episode of the 26 and Sunny Podcast, we take a closer look at insurance in conversation with Josh Hawkins from Brookvale Insurance Brokers.

Whether you own a home, an apartment, an investment property or you are renting, Josh helps you understand what insurance you need (and don't need!) and what you'll be covered for in the event things go wrong.

Beautiful Palm Beach on the northern-most tip of the Northern Beaches has much to boast about. The glorious waters of Pittwater on one side, the famous Palm Beach on the other, tropical landscapes, the Boathouse Cafe, Summer Bay stars on set and some of the Peninsula's most desirable properties.

Traditionally, Palm Beach has been populated by wealthy Sydneysiders who popped up to their holiday homes for the weekend. But thanks to COVID, the make-up of the area has changed significanty and many more people now permanently call Palm Beach home.

In this episode with Dennis Kennelly from LJ Hooker Palm Beach, we discover who is buying in Palm Beach, what draws them in and how much you can expect to pay for a place in Sydney's paradise.

With its long stretch of beaches, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Northern Beaches doesn't have any bushfire risk. But in actual fact a large portion of the LGA is covered in bush and many homes fall into bushfire risk zones.

Building a property in a bushfire zone comes with a unique set of requirements that can push up building costs and build times.

In this episode of the 26 and Sunny Podcast, we speak with Catherine Ryland from CR Bushfire about the risks and implications of building in a bushfire zone depending on the level of threat. Find out how it will affect your build, how much it will cost and when you should order a bushfire report if you're shopping for property on the Beaches.
