Letting

The furnished lease

On the coast, the lease terms often carry more value than the rental figure itself.

A furnished twelve-month let is a different product from an unfurnished one, and it should be priced and papered differently.

Inventory schedules, pool and garden service, and who carries the estate levy are the three clauses that generate almost all of the disputes we see.

Corporate tenants will usually pay for certainty over cost. Landlords who can offer a clean, well-documented handover routinely achieve better terms than landlords who negotiate on rand alone.

More notes

  • What frontage actually costs

    Two identical houses on the same estate can price twenty percent apart. Almost all of that gap is what the house faces.

  • Reading a release

    Development stock does not behave like resale stock. Knowing which phase you are buying changes the arithmetic.
