Each property that is owned by someone has a unique set of job descriptions that come with it. If you are familiar with real estate, you are also probably familiar with the roles that are associated to investment properties you own. One of the important job descriptions for rental properties is property management.

If you rent or bought investment property, such as a single family residence, town-home, condo, or residential income property, commonly known as an apartment building, you more than likely have a property management company associated to it. The property manager’s role is to maintain the property. This not only includes regular maintenance, but also includes refurbishing the property when it is needed. If there are problems with the property, it is up to the property manager to ensure that whatever the problem is can be fixed. If the building is old, the property manager will need to determine what to change in order to allow the area to function to its best ability without causing future problems.

The property managers also act as a link between the tenants who are renting, leasing or working towards owning a property and telling the owner what the problem is. If there are maintenance problems or rental payment problems, it is up to the property manager to solve the problem as soon as possible. Some property managers may also have the responsibility of providing accounting in relation to the repairs, capital improvements, or rental payments that are being made.

The property manager provides a level of security that is offered to both owners of a property as well as to the tenants who are renting or leasing the building. By having a property manager in place, it ensures that there will be certain levels of professionalism and care in the building that is being rented. As a result the owner and tenants can invest their time in other endeavors.

The terms of the tenancy agreement effectively set out the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and tenant. The Terms are normally contained under a series of headings. Landlords should be clear that the law acts in such a way as to allow the tenant to do what they like with the property. It’s important therefore that if any activity is to be prohibited, that this is written into the tenancy agreement. However, your scope to act is limited by the European Union directive on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations. This states that whilst the rest of the tenancy agreement remains valid, the terms which are ‘unfair’ to the tenant will be void. Therefore, if there is anything specific that is not covered by a standard tenancy agreement you should seek legal advice, or refer to the “Guidance on Unfair Terms in Tenancy Agreements” which should assist in phrasing any alterations to standard terms. It can be obtained from:

ODPM Free Literature, PO Box No.236, Wetherby, LS23 7NB.

The following are the main headings of a standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST), together with notes on what should be included within them and how these terms may and should not be altered. It is worth noting that most landlords do not and are not required to get into this level of detail on the tenancy agreement. This is because they simply buy or acquire a standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST), most of which have a set of ‘standard’ terms and clauses which make them suitable for most lets. However, it is always worth being aware of what makes up the ‘bare bones’ of a tenancy agreement should problems a rise or where you may want to enter into a non ‘standard’ letting. If you do need to modify a tenancy agreement you are always best advised to seek suitable legal opinion first.

Description of the property

Obviously, a legal agreement will need to clearly identify the property that the tenancy agreement refers to. The full address of the property should therefore be included. Particular care is needed when letting part of a building, where the exact extent of the accommodation being let should be specified e.g. front bed sitting room No.7, with shared kitchen and bathroom – these are often referred to as the ‘common parts’.

Payment of rent

The tenancy agreement should specify that payment of rent is made in advance. If not the ‘Common Law’ implication is that rent is payable in arrears. This is unacceptable as it puts you at a greater risk of not receiving rent whilst still having to potentially meet your mortgage payments. The intervals for payment must also be stated. Rent should be paid on a monthly basis although other intervals are allowable such as weekly or four weekly. Where rent is paid weekly the landlord is obliged to provide the tenant with a rent book. This and the fact that you will have an increased volume of payments along with the associated petty administration, is why you should avoid if possible this frequency of payment. If other intervals are chosen (for example six monthly), the assured tenancy mandatory ground 8 for repossession may not be available to the landlord.

Interest on arrears

Ensure that a term is included in the tenancy agreement that allows the landlord to add interest to any arrears. It should be charged on a daily rate, say Bank of England base rate plus 5% is considered reasonable. The levying of this charge should act as a disincentive for late payment and also compensate the landlord for the loss of interest on monies they should have received. I once took legal action to reclaim outstanding rent. The interest on this came to £42. Not huge; but it compensated me in part for the time and effort involved in taking proceedings. Unfortunately, it is not possible to reclaim these costs. It is nevertheless acceptable to make an administration charge for each late payment. A provision for this should also be included.

Council tax

The liability for the Council Tax will generally fall on your tenant. However in sharing arrangements such as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), the landlord is responsible. The rental figure charged should reflect this and a provision should be inserted allowing the landlord to increase the rent to take into account any increase during the tenancy.

In other cases, the tenancy agreement should contain provisions stating that the rent is exclusive of Council Tax and require the tenant either to pay it to the local authority, or to reimburse the landlord should he / she become responsible.

Water chargesUtility

It is assumed that the tenant pays for these charges. If this is not the case an express term should be included stating the required arrangement within the tenancy agreement.

Repairs and decoration

It is very likely that Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (see Appendix Box) will apply to the letting. This imposes an obligation on the landlord (where the tenancy is for a term of less than seven years) to repair the structure and exterior of the property. If the property includes a garden, it is wise to include an obligation on the tenant to maintain the garden. In practice whether they adhere to it will depend on the amount of work involved and whether they have ‘green fingers’.

Alterations

Thankfully tenants are prohibited from deliberately damaging your property! Again it is always advisable to have an express clause stating this.

Use

The law allows the tenant to use the property for what ever purpose they choose, unless the tenancy agreement states otherwise. It’s therefore wise to restrict the property’s use to that of a single private dwelling. Also impose an obligation on the tenant not to: cause nuisance or annoyance to neighbouring occupiers, damage the house or contents in any way and carry out illegal activities.

Insurance

In a short tenancy (such as Assured Tenancies), the landlord will normally insure the premises as he/she has the most valuable interest in the property. However, there should also be a clause that obliges the tenant not to do or, omit to do anything that might affect the landlord’s insurance.

Assignment

Under common law, a tenant can freely transfer the tenancy to whomsoever they wish. For this reason an express provision should be included in the tenancy prohibiting transfer. You don’t want to let to one person and then find that they have assigned the tenancy to their drug addicted cousin!

Subletting

In the case of a shorthold tenancy, there is a danger that where the tenant is allowed to sublet, they could grant an assured tenancy agreement to their tenant. The problem for you as landlord is that this tenancy agreement would be with your tenant not you. This would give this sub-tenant full security of tenure. The statutorily implied prohibition to this applies only to periodic tenancies and so an express provision is needed within the tenancy agreement which prevents this, unless the landlord gives their express consent.

Address for service

Under Section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 no rent is lawfully due from a tenant unless and until the landlord has given the tenant notice of an address in England or Wales at which notices can be served. Therefore, make sure you include the appropriate notice in the tenancy agreement stating a Welsh or English correspondence address.

Rent increases

It goes without saying that you will want a provision within the tenancy agreement allowing you to increase the rent during the tenancy. However, the prescriptive nature of an ‘escalator’ clause, such as the one that specifies that the rent rises 5% pa; means in practice it is probably easier to rely on the statutory provisions. Section 13 of the 1988 Housing Act provides a mechanism by which rents can be increased to what ever you think the market can bear.

Home staging is a mixed bag because there is so much you can do that knowing where to start, especially if you are doing it yourself, is almost as important as the staging itself. In a down real estate market (or any market) you could find yourself spending thousands of dollars to make your house stand out from the rest of the competition. But will you recoup your costs? How do you know where to start? Read on to see the top seven home staging basics that will save you money and still get buyers to swoon over your house every time.

1. Check your bulbs twice. – Home lighting is quite possibly the most effective way to sell your home. When a buyer looks through your house for the first time it’s an exploration and as such they are trying to see every detail during their first trip (and impression) of your home. If a buyer spots a burned out bulb or is unable to see all the space in a closet because the lights don’t work then they deduct the perceived loss of square footage and needed maintenance from your asking price. Stop this top objection in its tracks by replacing all of your burned out bulbs before putting your house on the market.

2. Clean the gutters. – How your home looks on the outside is 50% of the buyer’s first impression. If the buyer walks up to the front door and sees gutters weighed down by leaves and other debris it triggers thoughts of deferred maintenance and future home structure problems. A home buyer does not want to inherit a home seller’s problems so cleaning the gutters and ensuring they are not sagging will clear the path to a successful tour.

3. Pack your family photos and awards before putting your home on the market. – Your house is your home. It’s a very personal space but once you have decided to put your house on the market you have to take into consideration that buyers are trying to see this as being their next home. Family photos and awards, all great things to have, should be packed before you put your house on the market to avoid creating visual breakers when a buyer tours your home.

4. Clear the counter space. – There are two types of real estate a buyer considers when looking at your home. The first is the home and property the home resides on and the second is usefulness of the interior space of your home. Kitchens are the heart of the home and as such the buyers want to know that there will always be room to grow in that space. Clear away non-essential counter appliances and kitchen accessories to give off the impression of more space for the buyer’s dollar.

5. Get the carpets cleaned professionally. – Carpets are beautiful and make for great floor surfaces but if you haven’t had them cleaned since you moved in then you should have it done before putting your home on the market. Dogs, kids and the elements of nature all make their mark on carpeting over the years and the last thing buyers want to do when buying a home is take on a large project like carpet replacement after they move in.

6. Paint high traffic spaces. – High traffic spaces are the best places to find dings and marks on the walls which look like deferred maintenance but are in reality the consequence of daily wear and tear. Patch and paint the walls in high traffic spaces.

7. Define your rooms! -Buyers have imaginations but not when they are looking at homes. When selling your home the dining room can no longer be the home office and the living room cannot be the catch-all play area and living space. Clearly interpret what your home has to offer to buyers so they don’t deduct points (and dollars) when writing an offer for your home.

Home staging is as much about putting your home’s best foot forward as it is whisking away the most obvious home buyer objectives before the buyers have a chance to come up with them. By following these seven home staging basics you will be able to command the right price for your home in any market and increase the chances of selling your home quickly.

Staging your home can be a fun, inexpensive experience that will significantly affect the amount of leverage you have when negotiating the sale of your home but first you need to know where to start. Haphazardly staging your home without a plan or guide to what you are doing will result in a staged home that lacks a cohesive flow and missed opportunities.

Burned out bulbs must be replaced! – This is huge. Because you live in your home you will become less aware of things you see every day including the third bulb that burned out over the bathroom mirror 6 months ago. Take a friend or family member who doesn’t live with you through your home and see if they notice any burned out bulbs that you might have missed.

Burned out bulbs mean lack of maintenance to a home buyer and they will gladly deduct dollars (in thousand dollar increments) if they suspect they will have to do a lot of work before moving in.

Take out excess big furniture. – Another epic mistake most do it yourself homeowners make when staging a home is leaving their large furniture sets in a room. Large furniture will dominate any room, especially smaller rooms, so consider taking some of the non-essential seating space out of a small living room to showcase the available square footage.

Dark furniture and poor lighting don’t mix! – On the topic of large furniture, dark furniture can be equally harmful to your home’s ability to show well. Because furniture is large in nature, dark furniture pulls the eye towards it. Unless your home features many expansive windows that allow sunlight to illuminate the entire room during the day, stay away from dark furniture.

Detach yourself from your home. – Detaching yourself from your home is very difficult to do but it’s better to develop a thick skin about your home now so you don’t take buyer feedback on your house personally.

One key aspect to detaching yourself from your home is to remove photos of family and other personal effects that may hold sentimental value. When you show your home you should only be showing the house and not family photos or interesting furniture pieces. Once buyers lose focus it is next to impossible for them to refocus on touring your house.

Raise the bar on your windows, literally. – Low sitting windows with drapes can be a kiss of death to vertical space conscious home buyers. Raise the bar above your window and mount it closer to your ceiling to give the impression that the ceiling is higher than it actually is.

Clear away ‘catch-all’ stations around the home. – Everything has a place and sometimes that place is all in one spot. Coffee tables, kitchen counters and tables by the main door are highly visible locations that tend to end up covered in mail, keys and random travel belongings.

Clearing these spaces is important as home buyers will deduct points (and dollars) for the perceived loss of space.

Get a pressure washer and wash away the elements! – Your home’s exterior bears the burden of making the first impression that will make or break a buyer’s interest in your home. Many times I have toured homes with clients who refused to go into a home because it didn’t look clean. Back to deferred maintenance, buyers don’t want to buy someone else’s problem.

Get a pressure washer (they can be found in many home improvement stores and rental centers) and spray down the exterior of the house. Pay special attention to the corners of the home which can harbor multiple generations of spider webs, insects and grime.

Understanding the top seven must dos of home staging will help you avoid costly staging mistakes and help sell your staged home faster than competing homes on the market.

With the guidance of real estate consulting, you’ll learn how to maximize your profits by investing in foreclosures and short sales. Most individuals look at the current state of the real estate market and see nothing but a black hole. But, you’ll learn that investing in these properties not only earns you a significant profit, but it also helps revitalize neighborhoods that are slowly going downhill by getting families into the homes that you invest in.

Why Invest in Foreclosures?

Lenders foreclose on a property when the borrower has defaulted on their payments for 90-days or more. In an effort to recoup some of their loss, the bank typically lists the property for sale for the balance that the borrower owes on the property rather than the actual property value. Therefore, you can often find properties listed for $100,000 that are in actuality valued at $250,000 or more. By purchasing the home, you’ve instantly gained $150,000 in equity.

However, the largest profit can be had when investing in luxury foreclosures. This allows you to receive up to 50% to 70% off. Therefore, if the home is valued at $600,000, you may be able to swoop in and purchase it for as little as $180,000. If the home is in a distressed condition, simply upgrade the necessities to bring the home back to par and sell the home close to full value to the right buyer. If you purchase the home for $180,000, invest an extra $30,000 into the property and accept an offer for $550,000, your profit is $340,000 on just one home. It would take the average person over six years to earn $340,000 in their day job. As a real estate investor, it can only take a few months.

Investing in Short Sales

You may be asking yourself, “Why should I invest in a short sale when I can purchase a foreclosure for less money?” Well, short sales are sometimes a better deal than a foreclosure as you’re dealing with the current homeowner, rather than just the bank. It is in the best interest of a homeowner to sell the property. Therefore, you are far less likely to find that a short sale is in distressed condition.

When you’re considering buying a home that is in good condition and can be had at a bargain-basement price, it’s an ideal scenario. Because the home isn’t distressed your expenses involved with bringing the property back to an acceptable standard of living are going to be less. Therefore, your profit margin is higher. Just like foreclosures, short sales are listed for the amount that is owed by the borrower rather than the market value. Therefore, you’re often able to purchase a quality property at a steal.

Investing in foreclosures and short sales holds the keys to transforming your financial life. Making the right investment decisions requires a hard work, skilled eye, negotiation skills and the ability to spot the right property at the right price. Real estate consulting can help you make the profitable investment choices for you.

Please know that this in NOT legal advice. If you have specific questions about your lease, be sure and seek the services of an attorney. If you don’t want to pay their high fees, you might be able to consult a local bar association for a reduced rate. You might even qualify for discounted services.

The Conditions

This will include the rental amount that the tenant will need to pay by a certain date. Usually if one party to the lease does not meet all of the conditions, the other party may be able to seek unspecified damages.

Guarantor

A guarantor is different than a co-signer. The guarantor is a party no on the apartment lease who will be responsible for paying the rent if the tenants cannot or will not. Usually the guarantor must make up to 5 times the rental amount per month. This guarantor usually will be needed if the original applicant does not meet the monetary requirements.

Wear and Tear

This pertains to the tenant receiving the security deposit refund. If the tenant moves out and there is “reasonable wear and tear”, they should be able to receive their money back in full. But this term does not mean much as it is not very specified. Its always a help if the tenant can take photos when they move in the community. This helps to document any damage if the landlord decides to withhold part or all of the deposit.

Assignment of Lease

There should be something in the lease that says whether you can live in the middle of it. If assigning the lease to a third party is not allowed, then you will still be responsible for the payments to the leasing office.

Some apartments will allow you to sublease while others will not. You will have to look at the contract language to be sure.

Buying a property is not like walking into a grocery store and shopping for all the things that you need. Buying property in these times will require that you get a buyer’s agent who has up to the minute information about the local real estate market and its trends. When searching for a good property to buy, it pays to have a highly skilled realtor’s help. Finding the property that you would love to own is actually the first step.

When you are searching for a property in Australia, any person with a phone can call up the telephone number on the sign placed in front of the property. The individual on the other end of the phone will possibly have very useful information about the said property. However, it is vital to keep in mind that the person that listed the property is employed to work for the person selling the property and will naturally work towards the seller’s best interest and not for the person who wants to buy property. A buyer’s agent will represent the buyer’s best interest.

Going online is also one way to spot the property that you want to purchase. But, the MLS sites are updated monthly. This means that by the time that you have spotted the property that tickles your fancy and decided to drive down to see it and maybe make an offer, you will discover that someone else has beat you to it. A licensed agent can offer you the most up to the minute listing information on available properties in the area you want to buy property in Australia on a day to day basis. The agent will be well aware of your taste and preferences and will ensure that you only get listings of properties that will suit your taste.

Another advantage of having a buyer’s agent represent you is that you will have someone who will be working in your best interest. The agent can even help you arrange financing, use his or her superb negotiating skills in order to ensure that you get the best bargain. The agent will manage the paperwork, go over all the documents with you, offer helpful listed & sold comparable, lookup vital tax and history records, remind you of vital time limits and also effectively see to the details in order to ensure a hassle free closing.

So you see? An agent takes on practically every responsibility when you are buying property. Starting from getting you a good property that is within your budget range, their job does not end until the deal is sealed.
