The Landlords
When was the last time you viewed your Investment Property? A lot of Landlords can go years without viewing their investment property in person and whilst we understand there are some Landlords who cannot (living hours away or interstate) we offer all of our Landlords the opportunity to attend the Routine Inspections with us! Contact Daphne to organise, or see when the next inspection on your investment is!
The Tenants
It's just as important for tenants to ensure they are covered by the right insurance! The landlords insurance covers the premises, but it is up to the tenant to obtain their own contents insurance for anything you personally own like furniture, clothes, jewellery, sports gear etc. Fires and floods can happen, and it's important that you're covered for the items that you own!
