Residential Rentals

Residential Rentals

Renting a property can offer numerous benefits for individuals looking for a place to live. One of the primary advantages of renting is the flexibility it provides. Renters have the freedom to move to different locations without the commitment of owning a home. This can be particularly beneficial for those who need to relocate frequently for work or personal reasons.

Another benefit of renting is that it often includes amenities such as maintenance services, landscaping, and access to communal facilities like pools or gyms. These perks can enhance the quality of life for renters and make their living experience more convenient and comfortable.

Renting also offers financial advantages compared to buying a home. Renters do not have to worry about property taxes, homeowners insurance, or maintenance costs, which can add up significantly over time. Additionally, renting allows individuals to avoid the upfront costs associated with purchasing a home, such as down payments and closing costs.

Furthermore, renting provides an opportunity for individuals to test out different neighborhoods or living arrangements before committing to a long-term investment. This can help renters make informed decisions about where they want to live and what type of property suits their needs best.

Overall, renting a property can be a practical and cost-effective housing solution for many individuals. It offers flexibility, convenience, and financial benefits that make it an attractive option for those looking for a place to call home.

What to Consider When Renting a Residential Property —

Renting a residential property is a significant decision, and there are several factors to consider before committing to a lease. Taking the time to evaluate your options carefully can save you from unexpected challenges and ensure you find a home that fits your lifestyle.

Budget is one of the most critical considerations. It’s essential to calculate all associated costs, including rent, utilities, and any additional fees, such as parking or maintenance charges. A realistic budget ensures you can comfortably manage your expenses without financial strain.

Location is another key factor. Think about your daily commute, access to amenities, and the overall vibe of the neighborhood. Areas close to schools, shops, and public transport often provide added convenience and can enhance your quality of life.

The condition of the property is equally important. During inspections, pay attention to details like structural integrity, the functionality of appliances, and the state of fixtures. A well-maintained property can reduce the likelihood of unexpected repairs and provide a more comfortable living experience.

Consider the terms of the lease agreement as well. Understanding your obligations, such as maintenance responsibilities and rules about modifications, is crucial. Ensure the lease aligns with your plans, whether you’re looking for a short-term rental or a longer-term arrangement.

Finally, evaluate the landlord or property management team. A responsive and reliable landlord can make a big difference when it comes to addressing maintenance issues or other concerns. Reviews or recommendations from previous tenants can provide valuable insights into their management style.

By considering these factors and conducting thorough research, you can make an informed decision and enjoy a smooth rental experience in your new home.

Blackmans Bay is a coastal suburb of Kingborough Council, Tasmania, Australia. It forms part of the Kingston-Blackmans Bay urban area[2] and is a satellite town of Greater Hobart.[3] It borders Kingston Beach to the north, Maranoa Heights and the Peter Murrell Conservation Area to the west and Howden and Tinderbox to the south.

Etymology

[edit]

Blackmans Bay is named after James Blackman, who occupied land there in the 1820s.[4] Another "Blackman Bay", near Dunalley (also in Tasmania) was so named in 1642 because of the presence of Aboriginal Tasmanians.

Geography

[edit]

Blackmans Bay is located on the hills surrounding a popular sandy beach.

There is a blowhole near the northern end of the beach, which has eroded and forms a large rock arch where waves can be seen coming in and crashing on the rocks. James Baynton is credited with the discovery of the blowhole when he found his lost dog whimpering at its base.[4]

At the southern end of the beach are rocks leading to Flowerpot Point, a popular spot for fishing, although snags are an issue because of the prevalence of seaweed and rock ledges beneath the water. Beyond Flowerpot Point lies a quiet pebble beach that is accessible at low tide. The Suncoast Headlands walking track leads south via clifftops to Soldiers Rocks, dog exercise area and bushland loop walking track.

At the southern boundary of the suburb lies Fossil Cove,[5] accessible via a steep walking track from Fossil Cove Drive.

Infrastructure

[edit]

Blackmans Bay has three primary schools from kindergarten to grade six: Blackmans Bay, Illawarra, established in the late 1980s, and the Catholic St. Aloysius.

The shopping centre Bayview Market, located centrally within the suburb, includes a supermarket, newsagency, doctor's surgery, pharmacy and a variety of other stores.

Blackmans Bay also has a set of three restaurants near the shore.

History

[edit]

The 1830 Ross Almanack describes Blackmans Bay as "[...] several small farms. It is a very romantically situated little settlement with a fine sandy beach in front. The potatoes that grow there are as celebrated as those of Brown's River." The only families referenced in the text are the Mansfields and the Lovetts. The signal station "Mount Lewis" is said to be located next to the Lovett household.[6]

Despite knowledge of the Bay's existence it was settled relatively late, and by 1842 only four or five families lived in the area. The road from Hobart reached Brown's River and ended in Kingston Beach, with only a sandy track over the hill connecting Kingston Beach and Blackmans Bay. One of the earliest settlers was William Sherburd who was granted 50 acres there in 1818, which he started farming in 1819. The existing oval at Blackmans Bay bears Sherburd's name.[4]

Blackmans Bay did not develop as quickly as Brown's River or Kingston Beach, as the lack of a road or jetty made it difficult to access. Therefore the area enjoyed little development between 1830 and 1880, with farmland growth but little change in population. There were still few residents by the 1930s, with only the following six families listed as residing in the area: Ranger, Parson, Ayres, Sherburd, Chamberlain and Keeble. The area enjoyed greater growth during the post-war period. At the beginning of 1947 there were 57 families in the area, and by the end of the year there were 343.[4]

Meleah Oates is THE most amazing property manager. She has gone out of her way to help us remotely manage my mothers house. From helping us book trades, to stylists, her attention to detail has been incredible. I have never worked with a property manager as professional and genuine before. It's very refreshing:) Can't recommend her enough.

I have engaged Nest to manage my rental property since around 2009. Being a landlord that is living outside of Tasmania, it's very important that I have a great relationship with the company, and importantly with the property manager who looks after the house. I'm pleased to say that I have always had great relationships with staff at Nest Property. Since becoming my property manager, my current property Elise Holbrook has been fantastic to deal with. I have found her responsiveness and professionalism to be excellent and this has resulted in continued peace of mind that my property is being looked after well, and most importantly, my tenants are happy and comfortable, and their needs are met in a timely and efficient manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Elise Holbrook from Nest to manage your rental property.

Nest Property and Property Portfolio Manager Karly Jeffery have been absolutely amazing with managing our investment property. They have always been great with the regular business of managing our property and keeping us informed, but Karly really shone when our tenant stopped paying rent and damaged parts of the property before leaving. Karly filed police reports, kept liaising with the tenant to get some payments, took care of fixing all the damages and spent months wrestling with 2 insurance companies and got a great outcome for us in the end. Her professionalism, diligence and tenacity are a testament to the quality of Nest Property and to what a great property manager she is. We are very happy and grateful!
