Wiseberry Real Estate | How Healthy Is Your Investment?

Owning an investment property is about more than collecting rent. Regular checks and preventative maintenance can help protect your property, reduce unexpected costs and ensure your investment continues to perform.

So, when was the last time you gave your investment property a health check?

Insurance Cover Is your insurance cover still right for your property?

Take the time to review your level of cover, inclusions, exclusions and landlord protection. As your property, circumstances and insurance needs change, it’s important to make sure your policy continues to provide the protection you need.

Pest Control Don't wait until you see the signs of a problem.

Regular pest inspections can help identify termites, pests and potential property damage early. Catching an issue sooner can help prevent a small problem from becoming a much more expensive repair.

Gutter Maintenance When was the last time your gutters were cleaned?

Blocked or overflowing gutters can contribute to water damage, leaks and drainage issues. Regularly cleaning and checking your gutters and downpipes can help prevent avoidable maintenance problems and keep water flowing where it should.

Air Conditioning Maintenance A well-maintained air conditioner can make a big difference to your property.

Cleaning filters and arranging regular servicing can help keep the system running efficiently, reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and potentially extend its lifespan. It's also a simple way to help keep your tenants comfortable.

Smoke Alarms & Safety Checks Safety should always be a priority.

Make sure required smoke alarm servicing and other relevant safety checks are up to date. Keeping on top of these requirements helps protect your tenants while also helping you stay on top of your responsibilities as a property owner.

Review Your Rental Return Is your investment achieving what it could be?

The rental market doesn't stand still. What your property was achieving 12 months ago may not reflect current market conditions. A regular rental review can help you understand how your property's current rent compares with similar properties and whether there is an opportunity to improve your rental return.
