The Property Couch
Australia’s top property podcast for everyday investors who want real results, not hype.
Originally shaped by long-time hosts Ben Kingsley and Bryce Holdaway, The Property Couch has evolved into a new chapter led by Ben alongside the expanded Couch Crew. The foundations remain the same: practical frameworks, clear thinking, and real stories that help Australians make smarter decisions.
Backed by data, banter, and proudly anti-spruiker since 2015!

The Property Couch
The #1 Thing That Wrecks Property | FUNdamental Fridays
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Friday Fundamentals episode, Ben is joined by building inspector Paul Baker to unpack one of the most common causes of property damage:
Water.
It comes from everywhere — leaking gutters, under-slab plumbing issues, failed waterproofing, cracked grout, balconies, bathrooms, and more.
And according to Paul, it’s behind the vast majority of the issues he sees in homes.
This conversation breaks down why water causes so much damage, what warning signs buyers and owners should look out for, and why some “small” issues can turn into very expensive repairs if they’re ignored.
If you’re buying, selling, renovating, or maintaining a property, this is a practical episode with real value.
