Renting in Sydney is hard … we get it!

OUR CONSULTATION SERVICE IS HERE FOR YOU

We offer advice and guidance for all things renting, for people who don’t need a full rental search service, but have questions / concerns / challenges.

We help with lots of things, like:

  • You’ve never rented before - what are some tips to help your application succeed?

  • How to get approved in a tight, competitive rental market?

  • What do property managers - and landlords - really look for in a tenant?

  • Red flags to look out for at inspections

  • What to say - and not say - at open homes

  • Unsure where to move to that will meet your needs; in need of ideas for suburbs and great areas of Sydney that you might not have considered living in

  • Issues with your tenancy like repairs and maintenance not being attended to, a property manager who goes AWOL (!), negotiating a rent increase, routine inspections, tenant ledgers, ways of managing your property manager and much more

  • We can review the properties you’re thinking of inspecting, provide valuable behind-the-scenes information that just might save you from renting a dud, and give our expert opinion on their suitability based on your requirements. We can highlight potential issues and considerations that may not be obvious from the online listing - all the sorts of things you wish you’d known …. before you moved in

What does it cost?

Consultation Service fees are based on an hourly rate - $132 (incl GST) per hour or part thereof.

How do I book?

Consultations are generally last one hour. We always try to accommodate say-day requests to help you get real answers, fast.

“Navigating that rent increase was a breeze with this service! It was becoming a nightmare - the agent hadn’t replied to me at all about all of the issues I was having - the fence leaning over, leaking roof and ongoing blocked toilet so it was a shock to receive a rent increase! I mean, I wanted to stay but I wanted this all fixed! Thank you for the way you listened to me and helped me understand what my options were and how to get this all done. I got a much more positive response from my property manager and a lower increase so this has saved me a move. Happy!”
