Want to make your rental property more attractive to prospective tenants? There are plenty of quick, easy and inexpensive things you can do to improve your property's visual appeal.
Make an Entrance Your front door is the first thing people see, so make sure that initial impression counts. Dress it up with a new coat of paint, or jazz things up with a distinctive house number that matches your property's aesthetic.
Make Your Garden Stand Out
A well-tended front garden can add value to your property. First things first, keep on top of the weeding, mowing and pruning. Think about planting some low maintenance New Zealand natives to add privacy and a sense of tranquility. Don't have a garden? How about adding some colorful pots or planter boxes? Herbs, perennials or succulents are a good option and add both color and fragrance.
Show Your Property in the Best Light
Providing adequate lighting is really important, especially in winter time with the shorter days. Make sure your outdoor lights work, or if your property doesn't have any, think about installing some to improve security, or add solar lights in your landscaping.
Create Some Outdoor Atmosphere Create a space to relax and entertain. If you've got a front deck, think about adding some outdoor furniture scattered with brightly colored cushions. Make sure your front yard is tidy. Get rid of any rubbish, broken pots or dead plants and check that the lawn has adequate drainage. You don't want to create an impromptu swimming pool.
Fencing
Is your fence looking a bit tired? A smart fence goes a long way to making a good first impression, as well as providing a sense of security and privacy. If you've already got a fence, give it some TLC. Make sure it's standing up straight and any grass around the bottom is trimmed and tidy. Use a water-blaster to remove dirt or mildew and think about giving it a fresh coat of paint or stain if it needs it.

So whether you've got one rental, or a whole portfolio, we can take over the upkeep and repairs of your properties. We can even take care of all the improvements mentioned above, so you don't have to do a thing.
