In this episode, Stuart discusses the significant impact property decisions have on your financial plan, which is often overlooked by financial planners. He explains that property decisions are typically life-long, whether it's purchasing a home or investment property. Many financial planners traditionally focus on shares, bonds, and superannuation, while ignoring property as part of a comprehensive financial strategy.

Stuart shares real-life client examples to highlight how property decisions intertwine with other financial choices, such as when to sell underperforming assets, managing debt during retirement, or deciding between renovating versus upgrading. He also explores strategies for buying investment properties or future homes, particularly for clients who plan to live overseas temporarily.

Stuart emphasizes that financial planners need to expand their knowledge in property to provide holistic financial advice. By integrating property into a comprehensive financial plan, planners can help clients make smarter, long-term decisions, maximising wealth potential and ensuring financial stability.

He concludes by addressing the division between financial planners and property advisors, noting that both fields must work together for optimal client outcomes, urging for more professionals to understand both asset classes.
