LEASING YOUR PROPERTY
IT STARTS BEFORE YOUR PROPERTY HITS THE MARKET
At Wood Avenue Property, we believe successful leasing starts well before the first advertisement goes live.
Your investment property is an important asset, and finding the right tenant isn’t simply about putting it online and waiting for applications. It’s about preparation, presentation, pricing, marketing and knowing how to make your property stand out from the competition.
We are landlords ourselves and, with more than 71 years of property management experience, we understand the importance of protecting your investment, minimising vacancy and securing a quality tenant who will treat your property as their home.
LET’S GET YOUR PROPERTY READY FOR LEASE
Not every property is immediately ready to go to market — and that’s where we can help.
Whether you’ve just purchased an investment, you’re preparing your family home to become a rental, a long-term tenant has recently vacated, or your property simply needs some upgrades, improvements or TLC, we’ll help you identify what needs to be done before leasing.
Sometimes relatively simple improvements can make an enormous difference to how a property presents and how prospective tenants respond to it.
We can assist with recommendations and coordination for:
- Painting and cosmetic improvements
- Repairs and general maintenance
- Flooring and window coverings
- Cleaning
- Gardens and outdoor presentation
- Electrical and plumbing works
- Safety and compliance requirements
- General upgrades and improvements
- Professional photography and presentation
- Preparing the property for its first open inspection
Our focus is always on making practical recommendations that suit your property, your budget and your investment goals.
COMPLIMENTARY PROJECT MANAGEMENT
If your property requires more than a quick tidy-up, we can help take the pressure off you.
Wood Avenue Property offers our landlords a complimentary project management service to assist with preparing their property for the rental market.
We can help coordinate trades and services, arrange access, follow up works and oversee the process of getting your investment ready to lease.
Rather than handing you a list of things that need doing and leaving you to coordinate everything yourself, we’re here to help you through the process.
STAND OUT FROM THE REST
Tenants have choices.
When they’re scrolling through rental properties online, your property may be competing against numerous other homes within the same area and price range.
Our job is to help make sure your property stands out for the right reasons.
Presentation, professional photography, advertising, pricing and the way a property is introduced to the market all influence that crucial first impression.
A well-presented and professionally marketed property can generate stronger enquiry, encourage prospective tenants to inspect and ultimately help attract quality applications sooner.
And when we can secure the right tenant sooner, we can help reduce unnecessary days on the rental market and minimise vacancy for you as the landlord.
ATTRACTING THE RIGHT TENANT
Our goal isn’t simply to attract more tenants.
It’s to attract the right tenants.
We want prospective tenants to see the value in your property from the moment they first discover it online.
That’s why we put considerable thought into how your property is presented and marketed — from photography and advertising copy through to pricing, enquiries and inspections.
Because we firmly believe:
Quality presentation helps attract quality tenants.
The better we present your investment to the market, the stronger the opportunity to attract tenants who appreciate the property and genuinely want to make it their home.
PROFESSIONAL MARKETING
First impressions are often made online.
We showcase your property with high-quality photography, carefully prepared advertising and exposure across leading rental property platforms, together with Wood Avenue Property’s own digital marketing channels.
Our advertising is designed to highlight the property’s strongest features and help prospective tenants understand not just the specifications of the home, but what makes it a great place to live.
We don’t want your property to simply be another rental listing.
We want it noticed.
INSPECTIONS & APPLICATIONS
Once your property is on the market, we manage enquiries, inspections and prospective tenant communication throughout the leasing campaign.
Applications are carefully assessed, including relevant identification, rental history, references, affordability and supporting information.
We keep you informed throughout the process and provide you with the information and recommendations you need to make an informed decision.
Our goal is never simply to fill a vacancy.
It’s to help you secure a quality tenant who is well suited to your property.
THE RIGHT RENTAL PRICE
Achieving the best outcome doesn’t necessarily mean advertising at the highest possible price.
Correct pricing is about understanding current market conditions, comparable properties, tenant demand and what your particular property offers.
Pricing too high can increase days on market and potentially result in lost rental income through vacancy. Pricing appropriately can create stronger enquiry and competition while helping secure the right tenant sooner.
We’ll provide you with clear market advice and recommend a leasing strategy designed to achieve a strong rental return while minimising unnecessary vacancy.
FROM “FOR LEASE” TO “WELCOME HOME”
Once you’ve selected your preferred tenant, our team takes care of the next stage.
From lease preparation and required documentation through to the ingoing condition report, photographs, rent and bond arrangements and preparing for the tenancy commencement, we make sure the important details are covered.
And that’s where our relationship with your property really begins.
Because at Wood Avenue Property, leasing your investment isn’t simply about finding someone to move in.
It’s about preparing your property properly, presenting it at its best, attracting the right tenant and setting the tenancy up for long-term success.
Better presentation. Better attraction. Better leasing.
Let us help you get your property ready, stand out from the rest and find the right tenant to call it home.
