The process for getting your bond returned quickly actually starts on the day you move into the property. It’s easy to put things on the back burner, safe in the knowledge you have time to clean up the property later. But maintaining a tidy household, whether you are living alone or in shared accommodation, can become more difficult when simple tasks are neglected. Schedule a weekly cleaning routine, including vacuuming, mopping and wiping surfaces. If there are any issues such as broken fixtures or any damage, alert your property manager as soon as possible.

RBA HOLDS. Momentum has softened and buyers are becoming more selective.

The RBA has left the cash rate unchanged at 4.35%, but borrowing costs remain high and cost-of-living pressures continue to weigh on household budgets and property markets. The latest data shows national dwelling values were flat in May, with Sydney and Melbourne leading softer conditions while Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide continue to record growth at a slower pace. Across the LJ Ho**er network, we're seeing buyers take longer to make decisions, reassess what they can afford and become more selective. Investor activity has also eased as higher borrowing costs and proposed tax changes weigh on confidence. The market is moderating rather than correcting sharply, with pricing, presentation and location becoming increasingly important for vendors.

Whether you are selling a cosy apartment or a grand family home, staging can make a big difference when it comes to winning over buyers. It is estimated that it can achieve 5 to 10 per more to the price than an unstaged property and result in a quicker sale. Remember buyers aren’t just looking at the location or assessing the number of bedrooms, they are trying to imagine living there. Staging allows them to picture their life at the property and make an emotional connection. Always speak with your LJ Ho**er agent to find out how to increase market appeal.

Not all tenants do the right thing when it comes to staying in a furnished rental property, even with proper screening. Landlord insurance with content cover is one way to safeguard your investment. This may include damage or theft of furniture, appliances or other valuable items. Sometimes, damage may be unintentional, such as accidental spills, dents to walls or scratched floorboards. Taking detailed photos of what is contained in your rental property may also be helpful if you need to make a claim.

There is one thing every tenant wants at the end of their lease - their bond back and in full. A few simple steps, such as leaving the property clean and returning keys on time, can go a long way in making your move less stressful and having it returned quickly. The good news is that many Australian states and territories are now exploring portable bonds. This allows tenants to transfer their bond between properties rather than having to pay a new one upfront while waiting for a refund.

The reality is that not everyone’s parents have spare cash lying around to give to their children to get a step up on the property ladder. Start with a realistic budget, identifying opportunities and utilising first buyer grants. Consider rentvesting or buying with a friend, but seek legal advice for an exit plan. Playing down debt, improving credit, and boosting income with a second job can help to get you there quicker.
