For Bartlett homeowners

Thinking of selling? Start with the market, not the asking price you hope for.

Bartlett buyers can compare many properties online before they ever request a viewing. That makes presentation and pricing especially important.

A strong sales strategy should look at recent comparable activity, competing listings, the property's condition, its specific location and the features buyers are likely to value.

The objective is not simply to put the highest possible number on the advert. It is to position the property so serious buyers see a reason to enquire.

For Bartlett landlords

A vacant property is expensive. The wrong tenant can be more expensive.

Bartlett's rental appeal can create good enquiry, but speed should never replace proper screening.

Affordability, credit behaviour, employment information, references and the applicant's overall risk picture should all be considered before occupation.

A strong rental starts before the lease is signed: realistic rent, good presentation, responsive marketing, proper screening and clear expectations.

Before you buy in Bartlett

The suburb can be right while the individual property is wrong.

Compare more than the photographs. Look at the condition of the property, parking, security arrangements, complex or estate rules where applicable, monthly levies, rates, likely maintenance and how the exact location works for your daily routine.

A good area does not remove the need for property-specific due diligence. It simply gives you a strong location in which to start looking.
