What Will Your Property Rent For?
Whether you’re leasing your property for the first time, your lease is coming up for renewal, or you’re thinking of changing property manager, you want a realistic rent and a clear understanding of your options.
Online rent estimates are a guess. Let’s find out the real number.
You’ve probably seen those instant rent estimates on listing sites. They’re quick and free, but they’re also built on very limited information, usually little more than the suburb, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and other rentals advertised nearby. Nobody has actually looked at your property.
That’s why they so often miss the mark. Set the rent too high and the property sits empty; set it too low and you lose income every week of the lease.
A personal rental appraisal gives you a figure you can actually rely on.
6 reasons why an in-person rental appraisal is more accurate
We see what a computer can’t.
Updated kitchen, tired bathrooms, air conditioning, storage, parking, a secure yard for pets. Two properties with the same bedroom count can rent for very different amounts, and only a visit shows why.
Your street and your block matter.
An online tool averages a whole suburb. We look at your specific position: noise, outlook, street appeal and how close it is to the schools, transport, shops and hospitals tenants look for.
We know what’s leasing right now.
Automated estimates rely on advertised rents, not what tenants actually agree to pay. We lease and manage properties every day, so we know what tenants are paying, how quickly properties are letting and which features are in demand today.
Features tenants want are valued properly.
Furniture, a garden or courtyard, a pet-friendly yard, solar, a home office, a pool. Estimates often ignore these or can’t price them correctly. We can.
Condition and compliance make a real difference.
A well-presented property attracts better tenants, leases faster and earns more. We’ll also point out anything that needs attention before tenants move in, such as the smoke alarms, RCDs and pool fencing WA landlords must have in place.
You get advice, not just a figure.
Beyond the rent, we’ll tell you what you could do, often small and inexpensive things, to lift your rent and attract quality tenants. A number on a screen can’t do that.
A simple, no-pressure process
There’s no obligation and no hard sell. Here’s how it works:
- Fill in your details below. It takes about a minute.
- We’ll contact you to arrange a time that suits.
- We visit your property for a relaxed walk-through, usually around 30 minutes.
- You receive your rental appraisal, including comparable properties recently leased and currently advertised, and all of the information used to back our figure, along with practical suggestions to maximise your rent.
- Understand the process. We explain how leasing and property management work and advise on anything that needs to be considered, such as compliance, bonds and lease terms.
- You decide what’s next. Lease with us, change property managers, or just have an accurate figure. Entirely up to you.
