Using a Rental Appraisal to Secure Good Tenants
By ensuring that your property is being offered at an appropriate market rate, landlords are better able to secure and retain good tenants. Also, by maximizing the best level of rent, landlords ensure the best returns by setting appropriate increases, as the property increases in value to the market. At Home Property Management ensures that landlords have rental appraisals and rent reviews at least every 12 months.
Though you do not want to charge a rent level that is too low and miss out on returns, you also do not want to charge too much rent either! It can be tempting to ask for a high price on a rental property, but there are pitfalls to charging prices that are higher than acceptable market rates. Cases like these may secure desperate tenants, and also run the risk of a Tenancy Tribunal hearing. This type of challenge at a Tenancy Tribunal can incur a penalty.
If you have any doubts about the rental levels of your properties, At Home Property Management offers free rental appraisals to all Clients who sign our one year management authority

- Ensure you are maximising your rental returns
