When landlords think about the success of their investment property, the focus often falls on the monthly rent being achieved. While rental value is clearly important, another factor that can have just as much impact over time is tenant retention.

When selling a property, most homeowners naturally focus on the asking price, marketing, and finding the right buyer. While these are all important parts of the process, one factor is often underestimated — communication.

When searching for a new home, it’s easy to focus on the property alone. The number of bedrooms, the kitchen, the garden size or whether the décor feels right often take centre stage during viewings. While these things are important, looking beyond the property itself can help buyers make more confident long-term decisions

When preparing to sell a property, one of the first and most important decisions is the asking price. It can be tempting to aim high in the hope of achieving more, but pricing strategy plays a much bigger role in the success of a sale than many homeowners realise.
