Debbie Roberts: CGT wouldn't be the end of the world
Labour has introduced their Capital Gains Tax policy after it was leaked to the media last week. If implemented, it would mean a 28% tax on any profits made from house sales excluding the family home. So what would a tax like this do to the property and rental markets?

Peter Norris: Don't borrow as much as the bank will give you
Most prospective buyers know how much they can borrow, but how much should you borrow? Banks will often be happy to lend buyers an eye-watering amount of money, right at the top of what they can afford, but that doesn't mean buyers will be happy once those repayments kick in. Not mention five years down the line, when interest rates aren't as low as they once were, and wages aren't increasing at the same rate. So how can people actually work out their own borrowing limit - one that allows for the odd night out or weekend away? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed McKnight: Be careful fixing for too long
After yet another OCR cut, economists and mortgage holders alike are holding their breath for December - the last announcement of the year. A new report from Infometrics suggests the Reserve Bank may be taking the cuts too far, and risking an overstimulated economy. Most forecasts have predicted more cuts coming, but it's possible that Dr Anna Breman may have a different way of handling things. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel Marshall: Living space is key to improving a property
A few weeks ago, a developer pre-sold most of its eight planned heritage-style weatherboard townhouses in two Auckland projects. They plan to bring more of their cookie-cutter housing designs to Auckland, and aims to revive the styles of homes prevalent in many older suburbs. But having a suburb full of similarly designed houses seems like it'd make neighbourhood dull, especially if they're bunched up together as councils plan to intesify - that in turn, would affect prices, and would make any changes you make to the property stick-out like a sore-thumb. So what are the pros and cons of cookie-cutter builds? what DIY projects could we do to boost our home's appearance? And what would we bring in an architect for?

Martin Cooper: Managing Director at Harcourts Cooper & Co talks the fear of overpaying for property
House prices have been flat or are falling, it's hard to miss. Many owners are trying to quickly sell up - whether it be to fund their retirement, or simply because the rental market just isn't as profitable as it used to be. Analysts reckon this will mean a lot of younger people finally getting the opportunity to get on the property ladder. But there's one thing keeping a lot of potential buyers hesitant... Thirty percent of agents say that buyers are concerned property prices will drop further after they've purchased, leading to potential buyers holding off for lower prices. So how do you deal with the fear of overpaying? How can you be sure you're entering the market at the right time? Martin Cooper is the Managing Director at Harcourts Cooper & Co and he joined Tim Beveridge for the OneRoof Radio Show. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
