What Does a Rental Appraisal Look Like and What Information Should it Contain?
1. The location of the property:
As the saying goes – location, location, location! When it comes to appraising a property, location matters.
When looking at the location, an agent will not only look at the street the property is in and the vicinity to local attractions. They will also look at what school catchment the property is in, what amenities are nearby and what public transport routes are accessible. But remember, just because your property isn’t necessarily near anything, doesn’t mean it’s not going to attract a good price. Sometimes, the quieter streets and areas are just as desirable.
2. The property’s rental history:
3. What other ‘Comparable’ properties in the area are being rented at:
When conducting a rent appraisal, the real estate agent will look at the size of the overall block, the size of the structure on the land, as well as the size of the relevant areas within the home. For example, how large is the living area or main bedroom? The agent has to weigh up these measurements against other properties in the area. It’s also crucial to understand the potential renters or target market.
4. The overall economic conditions and the housing market:
The market will generally dictate what your property is worth. An agent will look at the recent rents in the area and overall market trends to get an idea of what price to present to you as a guide.
However, while the market may indicate a lot when it comes to the rental price, it’s not the ‘be all and end all’. A potential renter may walk through your front door and fall in love straight away.
5. A summary with indicated rent range from an agent:
An appraisal is an educated judgment on what your home is worth by the agent. Not only will the agent look at all of the comparable rents in the area, but they’ll provide a unique insight into the local market.
They also provide a figure based on insight into the features of your property.
