We take our responsibilities in Perth property management as a professionals in the market very seriously. One of our important responsibilities is to keep in contact with tenants. We are the go-between for landlords and tenants, allowing landlords the luxury of never having to meet their tenant and it is best not to.
This puts us in the unique position of knowing what tenants are looking for when they rent a property. Whether it’s the initial feedback when we are finding renters or the day to day contact when we are collecting rent and handling maintenance requests, we know what tenants want.
When you are looking for an investment property, it is important to know what renters are looking for. That way, your property can command higher rent and will have less vacancy.
What Do Tenants Want?
Air Conditioning
This is really a “no-brainer,” but some landlords think they can get away without providing it. Failure to provide air conditioning will put you at a severe disadvantage, especially in a competitive rental market. We actually dont take any property in Perth on for management without it.
Pets
People love their pets. While animals can cause extra wear and tear in a home, it is usually to superficial aspects of the home and almost never involves structural damage. Pet owners are an important segment of the rental market.
Good Presentation and Appearance
As the saying goes, “you only get one chance to make a first impression.” When showing a property, the house and yard must be clean, orderly and well-kept.
Modern Kitchen and Bathroom
Modernising the kitchen and bathroom not only helps your home rent faster and for more money, but it also increases the market value when it is time to sell. A bathroom and kitchen makeover doesn’t have to cost too much and provides benefits far beyond what you spend.
Great Property Management
Your tenants want to know their home will be well-maintained and that any problems will be handled promptly. For the best property management in Perth, call 1300 472 427.
