Whether as an international student or an investor, looking at a house is an essential step. In order to save time, many people do not pay much attention to this step in order to save time, which leads to some "terrible" consequences.
Like renting a house like this.
Or met an unreasonable landlord:
And here's the thing:
In the event of such a kind of trouble, don't say how annoying it is. So today I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to when you look at your house in Australia.
Don't be fooled by photos on the Internet
When we are looking for a house online, the picture is certainly as the first impression, this time we should pay attention to, some landlords will take out a few years ago new house pictures put on the Internet, and the reality of the house is already broken and old.
When we look at the room, we need to pay extra attention to the difference between the house and the picture, and confirm with the landlord what furniture he will provide, such as whether to provide a bed, desk, etc. Seeing a house on the ground can also help you understand the details of the house, such as quiet streets, convenient traffic, and so on.
Time to see the room
If not with the agent to book the house, but through the Internet directly with the landlord about the situation, time will be more casual, high flexibility, at any time and landlord can discuss the time to stay.
If you are looking for an intermediary to book the buyers and overseas students, you must pay attention to the appointment time, must not be late, because if you are late, you may miss the time to see the house. Another thing to pay attention to is to try to see the room during the day. Because in the daytime you can clearly see the lighting and sunshine of the house, it has a great impact on the choice of the house!
The trap of paying rent
Special attention should be paid to students who are in contact with their landlords and must sign regular contracts, both parties confirm the amount of rent and deposit at the same time, and try their best to choose bank transfer transactions, so that there are signs to follow; Cash transactions are prone to disputes.
If there is an intermediary involved, it is generally a rental period of more than six months. Such a house rent is relatively stable, and it will not face a sudden demand for rent increase, but when looking at a house, it is necessary to confirm the situation of the house itself. For example, lights, carpets, faucets are not all intact, in order to avoid the time to check out misunderstanding.
Investors pay attention to saving time
Apart from foreign students looking at the house, another group is the purchase of housing investors. Everyone's time is invaluable, and buyers are advised to contact the seller as soon as possible after seeing signs posted outside the house to see if the house is still on sale, and to confirm the time (usually Thursday and Sunday) when the house is still on sale.
If you take a fancy to several houses being sold at the same time, it is suggested that you can make a form in a district, and then screen according to your preferences, and finally decide which sets are to be seen and which sets can be given up. Arranging house viewing time according to the housing area can not only save time effectively, but also make investors make a sharp contrast to different houses in the same area.
In the final decision-making, you can also make such a list of your favorite, need list, and then check out, so that you can easily see the comparison after the house.
