Common questions

Leasing & renting: common questions

Look at comparable properties currently leasing nearby, what they actually leased for and how long they took. Pricing slightly too high usually costs more in vacant weeks than it gains in rent. William can give you a rent appraisal for properties in Chatswood and across Sydney.

Price it to the market from day one, present it well with good photos, respond to enquiries quickly and make inspections easy to book. Keeping good tenants happy so they renew is the cheapest way to avoid vacancies.

For commercial leases and subleases it is worth having the terms reviewed before you sign, as they set out rent reviews, outgoings, repairs and exit options. William has a law degree and reviews lease terms as part of his service.
