HOME IMPROVEMENTS Is your property due for an upgrade?

Does your investment property need attention?
Improvements and renovations to a rental property are important to protect the short term return (rental income) and longterm
capital growth of the investment. It is a fact that rental properties are exposed to tenant ‘wear and tear’ and therefore will require
work from time to time. A recommendation of budgeting to upgrade the property on average every five years is beneficial.

Below is a list of areas where improvements are often required in Property Management:

Kitchens: An old kitchen can be renovated by replacing cupboard doors, handles, taps, tiles and benchtops. Painting is the easiest
way to change the way your kitchen looks. A lighter colour will brighten it up and make it look bigger.
Bathrooms: Sometimes re-grouting tiles and giving the walls a splash of paint can do wonders. Adding floating shelves is a quick,
affordable and easy way to add some décor to the bathroom.
Exhaust fans: Good maintenance is important to keeping exhaust fans working properly and smoothly. Ensure that there are
working exhaust fans in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet areas to avoid a build-up of moisture, mould or heat stains.
Landscaping/Exterior Painting: The presentation or the initial impression is important to the property’s appeal. Ensure that trees and large shrubs are pruned, gutters cleaned, wash eaves and external walls.
Interior Painting: Paint the walls throughout in a neutral colour and use a washable paint. Remove or paint over any outdated wallpaper.
Replacing Floor Coverings: Choose a carpet that is long-wearing and durable. Avoid light tones that will easily mark and stain. If replacing the floor coverings in the kitchen area, avoid using soft vinyl as moving a fridge can easily cause cuts and tears. Instead, use heavy grade linoleum or tiles.

By attending to improvements on a regular basis you will be preserving your investment.
