Top 5 outdoor reno tips

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 04:52:49 +0000

Gavin Taylor, director at Metropole Property Strategists, shares with Your Investment Property the following tips when considering an outdoor makeover

Make sure the building presents well: This may mean re-painting, re-roofing, modernising the spouting and guttering, replacing window frames, or reconfiguring the entrance area – it’s all focused on giving the building an excellent external feel.

Provide outdoor entertaining: With our excellent climate, a good outdoor entertaining space is greatly sought after. This could take the form of a deck, or even better a pergola which might have a vine growing over, or a retractable sun-shade. Or perhaps a verandah added on to a family room.

Outdoor lighting: In the evening, a garden or an entrance looks wonderful with good lighting. It can emphasise a feature or hide a blemish. Careful lighting can create an ambience of comfort and style which will make the property very desirable. Don’t forget to market the property at a time that shows this off.

Car spaces: Off-street car spaces are worth a lot, both in dollars and convenience. And covered off-street parking – a carport or a garage – is right at the top of the pile.

Landscaping: Landscaping can add hugely to presentation, usefulness and desirability – but can detract if done badly. Achieve a balance between maintenance, water efficiency and hard and soft surfaces to create a landscape in which the property stands out.

Review site to rate agents

admin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 09:00:30 +0000

Founder of Rate that Agent and former real estate agent, Michael Jackson said while agents can demonstrate their local experience and expertise through the online service, vendor and home buyers now have the opportunity to make a better informed decision when selecting an agent, based on past referrals and reviews.

“The motivation to create the site was to establish a national resource to shine the spotlight on top of real estate agents and caution unsuspecting home buyers and vendors about the poor ones,” Mr Jackson said.

What is Rate that Agent?

It’s an unbiased free online system that gives Real Estate Agents the power to demonstrate their local experience, expertise and track record and for Home Buyers and Sellers to connect with Agents based on Agent Profiles and past client endorsements.

Tips to attract top tenants

admin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:49:24 +0000

To attract quality tenants you need to offer a quality property. Here’s a guide to considerations you need to make before you purchase your property, after you buy and during the tenant search.

Purchasing a rental property
First off: identify the type of renter you’re hoping to attract and put yourself in their shoes. If you’re hoping to attract students, look for property close to universities, colleges and transportation. If you’re after families, then proximity of schools will play an important role. And if your ideal tenant is a senior, look for property close to community centres, shopping and transportation.

Also look for a neighbourhood that you’d want to live in. Is it a quiet road? Are the streets clean? Are the neighbours’ yards tidy? Are the parked cars in relatively good condition? A neighbourhood that is a mix of owner/occupier housing and renters is generally one that will be better kept than a neighbourhood that strictly caters to renters.

Once you’ve determined location, focus on the property itself. Again, think of your ideal renters’ concerns. Students looking for a share house will probably value big bedrooms, as they will spend more time there. Seniors will be looking for something that is one level. And families will be keen on something with a yard, preferably enclosed.

Making the property presentable
It goes without saying that the interior should be clean. Keep paint to muted colours – you might love a signature wall in the living room painted bright red, but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

In the kitchen, fix drawers so they slide easily and make sure handles on screwed on tight. Get rid of stains, crumbs and mould. Lining the cupboards can cover a few sins. Invest in quality appliances and if you can’t afford new appliances, see what you can do to make them more presentable. For instance, new wire racks in the oven will go a long way in approving its overall appearance.

In the bathroom, consider buying a cheap, but new vanity. Installing a new toilet seat would also be a good touch. And a bright mirror is a definite must.
Renting it out

If you choose to rent the property out yourself, then there are a couple of things you can do to increase your chances of picking a good tenant.

One is to be honest in the ad. If you oversell its attributes, good tenants might get turned off and overlook the genuinely positive aspects of the property.

And don’t be greedy. Gauge how much similar properties in the area are renting for and price accordingly. If you overprice, you might find yourself with a tenant that is desperate to find a place because no one else would rent to them based on their history. And avoid increasing the rent too much. You’ll just encourage turnover and you could end up out of pocket for a considerable amount of time.

Be presentable. If you’re showing the property, make sure you look like someone the tenant would want to deal with. Let them know you would respond to needs quickly, but you’re not going to be visiting the property all the time.

Have a formal application that includes rental history and make sure you check references that include their employer and previous landlords/property managers.

If you decide to use a property manager, make sure you investigate their services thoroughly. Consider how they market properties, how they deal with issues such as arrears, repairs and maintenance, and how frequently they will inspect the property.

Landlords insurance
Sometimes you can do everything right and still end up with a bad tenant. Landlord insurance can take some of the stress out of renting by covering damage or loss to your property, protection against unpaid rent, theft or malicious damage, and even the cost of replacing or repairing furnished properties.
