Quality Tenants Deserve Well Maintained Homes
In Perth and Fremantle, the residential rental vacancy has dropped below one per cent and in March this year that figure will drop lower when the Covid-19 moratorium on evictions ends.
At this time, the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia expects rents to rise between 15 and 20 per cent. Tenants willing to pay the higher rents will expect the dwellings to be in good order, so landlords who present a clean, well-maintained dwelling are sure to achieve a premium rental.
Perth property repairs and maintenance company NexGen Tradies and Handymen can ensure your vacated rental is ready for your next tenant.
NexGen Tradies are a team of professional, qualified trades and handymen who have been maintaining, repairing, and preparing rental properties for lease for more than 15 years.
They can inspect your property and advise you of any aspects that need to be changed to meet current building codes and tenancy regulations.
Repair or replace
Their inspection would start at your letter box and end at your back fence, which should reveal if repairs or replacements are needed. Keep in mind that a minor repair today could avoid an expensive major repair or replacement in the future.
The inspection will also reveal whether your pool fencing and gate, stairways, steps, railings, glass screens, windowpanes, blinds, and curtains meet current safety standards.
In addition, NexGen Tradies can make good all small and large breakages, paint interiors and exteriors, mend damage to walls and doors, replace carpets, and check whether water heaters, air conditioners, heaters, ovens, hot plates, and reticulation systems are in working order. Roofing, guttering, downpipes, and drains can also be inspected.
What needs to be fixed will be fixed, after consultation with the landlord.
Breakages during tenancy
All members of the team at NexGen Tradies have the experience to know that regular maintenance reduces the incidences of breakages, saves money, and gives landlords peace of mind. However, when breakages occur during a tenancy, landlords and property managers who are clients of NexGen Tradies know Tony will fast track the repair or replacement. This overcomes the problem of tenants becoming annoyed and holding back their rental payments.
Security and smoke alarms
For security, NexGen Tradies can change door and window locks between tenancies making sure there are multiple sets of keys. For safety, smoke alarms can be tested, and batteries replaced if necessary.
To give your property street appeal:
- Sweep and pressure clean driveway, paving and paths;
- Clean entrance and external lights;
