Flat Chat Basics

Your chance to aks a question, answer one or express an opinion, based on the column that appears every Saturday in the Domain section of the Sydney Morning Herald.

Group RSS  

Although Flat Chat was launched in the Sydney Morning Herald's Domain section to answer reader's queries in print, we now get far too many questions to answer in the column. That's why I launched this forum so that your questions can be answered by me, by industry experts or by other readers who've had similar issues.
A full description of how to register and post to the group can be found by clicking on on the links in the Welcome section (below). They will take you through the process of registering for the forum.
Or you could just browse the Forum and look for similar questions to yours. Either way, I hope you find at least some of the answers you are looking for.

Every so often somebody, somewhere needs information that only strata residents can provide. If you want to contribute, or if you need help, this is the place to start.
