When your investment property isn’t leasing, what’s the next move?

A vacant property doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong, but knowing when to review your strategy can make a real difference to your investment’s long-term performance.

In our latest Woodards article, we explore what property investors should consider when a property is taking longer than expected to lease.

From understanding the true cost of vacancy and whether the asking rent is still competitive, to recognising what inspection numbers and renter feedback are really telling you.

We also look at the importance of property presentation, when it might be time to make adjustments and what you should expect from your property manager throughout the leasing campaign.

Because managing an investment property isn’t just about finding a renter. It’s about making informed decisions that protect your investment.

There’s something about an Art Deco home in Preston that takes you back. The ornate ceilings, original brick fireplaces and rooms filled with character. These are the details that never go out of style.

https://www.woodards.com.au/property/102-oakover-road-preston-3072-1980652/

Set along a tree-lined street in Preston West, this home is a lovely reminder of an era when every room had its own personality.

Behind the double doors, separate living and dining rooms each have their own brick fireplace and decorative ceilings, with the flexibility to open them up or close them off. The generous kitchen has room for the family to gather, while three bedrooms and two bathrooms offer comfortable living.

And then there’s the deep north-facing garden. Room for children to play, long summer lunches and the kind of backyard memories that stay with you.

Just south of Bell Street, with Miller on Gilbert cafés, Gilbert Road trams, Merri Creek trails and W.H. Robinson Reserve nearby, it’s a pocket of Preston that has plenty of its own character too.

Zoned to Bell Primary School and Coburg High School.

Auction Saturday 24 October at 11am.
