23.01.2022 7 things every renter wants to see at a home open Just because we're renting, doesn't mean we don't deserve a modern home with inclusions, right? Looking for a new rental means not only making the application process worthwhile but also realising what you are not willing to compromise on. Here are seven tips on what prospective tenants might want to see to avoid committing the same crimes:... 1. A shower head that’s not from the 1950s 2. Carpet that’s not from a horror film 3. A built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors 4. A dishwasher any sort of dishwasher! 5. Any lighting that’s not oyster 6. Window treatments that aren’t verticals 7. Mould-free walls (it’s not that hard)

22.01.2022 It's all too easy to make rental mistakes when trying to make a place feel like home. So here are some things you should try to avoid!: 1. Do not nail into the wall without permission 2. Check before mounting your TV to the wall 3. Be careful about replacing plants in your garden ... 4. Do buy furniture with every future home in mind 5. Don’t go super neutral in an already neutral space 6. Be careful in your kids’ rooms See more

22.01.2022 While many tenants are certainly happy that the ban on rent increases in Western Australia has been extended until 28 March 2021 and their rent will not be increased, things aren’t as black and white as this and will ultimately create more problems for tenants. How does this work? - Low vacancy rates are normally a trigger for investors to enter the rental market which increases stock levels, however due to the Residential Tenancies (COVID-19 Response) Act, investors appear... reluctant to buy. Why does this impact tenants? - Typically, when the vacancy rate lowers and competition builds for the current rental stock, rents start to increase. This will mean that tenants do not have the opportunity to have their rent increased, in small, manageable increments but will probably face a sharp price correction. How does this impact landlords? - Landlords have experienced no income growth in more than three year as the median rent stayed at $350 for 12 consecutive quarters. Therefore, more investors are being forced to sell their investment property which also adds pressure to rental stock as it usually moves the property out of the rental market to an owner-occupier. What can you do? - REIWA understands that there are quite a few tenants and landlords out there who are struggling with the extension, which is why they are calling on everyone to tell their story.

22.01.2022 With over 240,000 rental properties in Western Australia, a significant proportion of the state’s population will be impacted by any changes to the upcoming review of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), which is why REIWA will be advocating strongly for changes that benefit landlords, tenants and property managers.

13.01.2022 There’s no denying the rental balcony is the most neglected zone in your home, but it’s time to curb your wicked ways and make this space a stunner. Here’s a list of all the style mistakes you’re currently making, and how you can correct them. You’re putting up with gross floor tiles... - So many rentals have balconies with horrendous floor tiles from the seventies. Cover them up with synthetic grass or click-in tiles for a temporary fix. Your neighbours are in your face - Time to screen off those wandering eyes with some bamboo or brushwood fencing. You’re leaving ugly brickwork uncovered - There’s nothing more painful to the retina than porous red brick. Consider climbing plants on lattice to block those bricks. Your furniture is too big for the space - You may have brought an outdoor setting from your old home that’s now completely eating up your new balcony. Go for smaller more streamline furniture to free up space. You’ve not bothered to get furniture at all - Even a small round table with two chairs will do wonders in this zone and give it purpose. You’ve done nothing about lighting - If that one fluro bulb on your balcony is doing nothing to create any mood apart from an annoying one consider fairy lights.

10.01.2022 Taking a checklist of features to look for while reviewing a rental is a smart idea. Things to include on your checklist: Parking Is it available, and if so how wide is the space for the car or garage? Is there also space to park a bicycle or motorbike?... Heating/Airconditioning What rooms does it service? Does it operate on gas or electricity? Is the property insulated? Natural light Which way are the windows facing and at what time of day is the light optimal? Kitchen What appliances do you have at home and what appliances do you need to bring? Is there enough room on the bench and enough storage for all your kitchen wares? Bathroom Is there a hot tub, or a shower only? How many bathrooms? Outdoor area Is there some room outdoors to relax or entertain? Is this undercover or exposed? Furniture Is the property furnished or will you have to supply your own furniture? Will your furniture fit or do you need to purchase new items? Condition Is it well managed property? Is it likely you'll need to ask the landlord for repairs?

06.01.2022 Perth & Southwest properties selling at the fastest rate since 2006 REIWA President Damian Collins said the residential sales market has significantly improved in the latter half of 2020, creating the ideal conditions for those looking to sell. "The demand for quality stock is evident, with properties selling at the same speed as they did 14 years ago, when Perth was in a property boom. In addition, the level of discounting has reduced to 32 per cent of all transactions, co...mpared to 49 per cent in November 2019," Mr. Collins said. "With listings for sale down 1.3 per cent in November compared to the previous month and 28.7 per cent lower than November 2019, it's clear that if you are looking to sell there hasn't been a better time for many years." Regional WA home values were up 1.1 per cent with a stronger performance continuing in November. As buyer numbers rise, available inventory has remained low creating some urgency amongst buyers which in turn is adding to the upwards pressure on home values. If you're considering selling now is the time!

06.01.2022 Christmas Eve is a magical time; the excitement soars as everyone waits for Santa to arrive. If you have been good all year, then he is guaranteed to visit, but it is worth giving him a few more reasons to come down your chimney on Christmas Eve. After all, everyone likes presents, even Santa Claus. Here's everything you need to know to give Santa Claus a proper welcome this Christmas. 1. Keep your home clean and neat all year, but, a few days before Christmas, do an extr...a good job. - This way, Santa will be blessed by seeing a nice place and will not trip over anything. 2. Hang stockings. - Before Santa arrives, make sure you hang up your Christmas stockings over the fireplace or at the end of your bed, ready to be filled with fun sized gifts. 3. Set out the cookies - Leave out a few cookies by the Christmas tree to give him that extra burst of energy he needs to make it round the rest of those homes on Christmas night. 4. Provide a drink of milk. - It can be thirsty work too, so ask an adult to pour Santa a glass of milk and have it waiting for him. 5. Leave a snack for the reindeer. - Of course, it's not just Santa who has work to do on Christmas Eve. In fact, the hardest part of the job is done for him by his magical reindeer. 6. Go to bed. - Whatever you do, you must make sure that you are tucked up in bed before Santa arrives. He will only visit your house once you are asleep. And don't think you can outsmart him by pretending. He can always spot a faker. 7. Wake up. - If you've been good all year, on Christmas morning, you could wake up to find a mountain of presents under the Christmas tree.
