4 End of Financial Year Expecting a Tax Refund? Maybe now is the time for New Dentures As our busy End-of-Financial Year approaches, we would like to take this opportunity at Noble Denture Design, to ask you! WHEN DID YOU LAST HAVE YOUR DENTURES CHECKED? If you currently wear removable dentures of any kind, it is advisable to have these checked regularly. It is recommended that if you have any remaining natural teeth, you should have these and your dentures reviewed every six months, or as directed by your dental professional. If you have no natural teeth and have removable Full Dentures, your dentures should be reviewed every two years to maintain the best possible wear. So, whether you need new dentures, a reline/repair or would like a spare set, or you simply wish to have a checkup, give Noble Denture Design a call today, to make an appointment to see one of our Dental Prosthetists, John or Jaime-Lea, today. “2 LOCATIONS ON THE GOLD COAST” Shop 40/1 Mudgeeraba Rd Suite 5/26-28 Commerce Drive WORONGARY (Town Centre) ROBINA Qld 4226 EXIT 77 Off M1 (Just Off Ron Penhaligon Way) 6 Tips to increase the returns of your Rental Property Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you probably already know there is a shortage of rentals on the northern Gold Coast at the moment and that many tenants are struggling to find a home to live in. Even though prices are rising, there’s always an opportunity in any market to improve the rental returns of your property, as well as attracting better quality tenants who stay longer. Sarah Welsh and Jennifer Farr at Farr Real Estate have over 15 years of experience in the local market and have six hot tips to help you get more from your rental. 1 - Online Appeal. Most likely a potential tenant's first impression of a property will be the online advertising. It's crucial that the property stands out. Make sure the property is neat and tidy, freshen up the paint, mow the lawns and trim the gardens. Consider staging the property with some nice simple furniture before photographing, or talk to us about "virtual staging" for a cheaper option. 2 - Add covered off street parking. A tenant's most valuable asset will usually be their cars, so the more covered parking you can provide, the better. If space and council allows, add extra garaging or carports. 3 - Freshen up the wet areas. Sometimes a little work in old kitchens and bathrooms goes a long way. Updated cupboard handles and new benchtops are an easy way to modernise a kitchen, and re-grouting bathroom tiles can really freshen up a dated space. If space allows, add a dishwasher to the kitchen too. 4 - Add an air conditioner. Gold Coast gets hot and sticky, so an air conditioner really is a non-negotiable. But it's incredible how many homes don't have them! Rarely will a tenant stick around after a long, hot summer if you haven't invested in a quality A/C. So if you want a good tenant to stay for a few years, this is a must. 5 - Make the property pet friendly. For some people, their pets are their kids. And they'll pay a premium to be able to live with their fury friends. Consider replacing carpets with tiles, add a doggy door and ensure yards are fully fenced to make your property stand out with dog and cat owners. 6 - Get the marketing and management right. Rentals should be treated the same as sales. To get top dollar, you need top marketing + a skilled negotiating agent. Professional photos are a must, and video or 360 degree tours are even better. Upgraded listings on the big websites and social media promotion will ensure more people see the property, which translates to more inspections and more applications. This gives you a bigger pool of quality tenants to choose from, increasing the chance of finding a great long term tenant who will look after your property and pay the premium price. Sarah and Jennifer are always looking for more rental properties for their prospective tenants.
