From 1 July 2019, it will be compulsory for all rental properties to meet the new minimum insulation requirements. All landlords should check that the insulation at their properties meets the standards and take action if necessary before the new requirements become compulsory.

Not happy with how your investment property is being managed? Think that you’re not getting value for money or a fair return on your investment? It might be time to reconsider your choice of property manager.

As a landlord, there is never enough time to do everything. Property maintenance and upkeep is often pushed to the side and postponed until a later date. There is no better time than now to spend a couple of hours or even a few days on improving your investment property.

December is a very busy month for everyone - especially so if you’re a landlord. It’s a good time to reflect on the year that passed, on your investment property performance, and to make sure you have everything in order for the holiday break.

All the hard work is done – the property is cleaned and move-in ready, the tenants are screened and selected. But the journey is not over yet. As move-in day approaches, it’s important to complete final few steps before your tenants can officially call your place home.

Every property investor with years of experience was once a first-time landlord. Starting your property management journey can be very exciting but also daunting. What should you concentrate on? What mistakes should you try to avoid?

Efforts to encourage landlords to insulate their rental properties date back to 2007. The prospect of Rental Warrant of Fitness (WOF) is also gathering momentum. It’s likely that a compulsory WOF will be introduced in the coming years as the newly elected Labour coalition government focuses on housing reform. There is no better time than now to understand what this might mean for you.
