Residential Rentals

Residential Rentals

Renting a residential property can offer many benefits for individuals looking for a place to call home. One major advantage is the flexibility that renting provides. Unlike owning a home, renters have the option to move to a new location or upgrade to a different property without the hassle of selling a house. This makes it easier for individuals who may need to relocate frequently for work or personal reasons.

Another benefit of renting is the lower financial commitment compared to buying a home. Renters do not have to worry about upfront costs such as down payments, closing costs, and maintenance expenses. Instead, they can budget for their monthly rent payment and leave the responsibility of repairs and upkeep to the landlord.

Renting also offers convenience in terms of amenities and services. Many rental properties come with amenities such as fitness centers, swimming pools, and on-site laundry facilities that residents can enjoy without having to maintain them themselves. Additionally, landlords are typically responsible for handling any maintenance issues that may arise, saving renters time and money in the long run.

Overall, renting a residential property can be a practical choice for individuals who value flexibility, affordability, and convenience in their living arrangements. Whether you are looking for your first apartment or seeking a temporary housing solution, renting provides an attractive option that meets a variety of needs.

What to Look for When Choosing a Residential Rental —

Finding the right residential rental is about more than just choosing a place to live—it’s about finding a home that suits your lifestyle, budget, and future plans. With so many options available, knowing what to look for can make the search process smoother and more effective.

Location is one of the most important factors when selecting a rental property. Consider proximity to work, schools, public transport, and essential amenities such as grocery stores and healthcare facilities. A convenient location can save you time and money while enhancing your quality of life.

Budget is another critical consideration. Establish a realistic monthly budget that includes rent and additional expenses such as utilities, internet, and maintenance costs. Avoid stretching your finances too thin to ensure you can comfortably meet your rental commitments.

The condition of the property should not be overlooked. During inspections, pay attention to details such as the state of appliances, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or potential maintenance issues that could become costly down the line.

Lease terms are another key aspect to review carefully. Understand the duration of the lease, notice periods, and any restrictions, such as pet policies or alterations to the property. Clear terms prevent misunderstandings and ensure the rental arrangement aligns with your needs.

Amenities and features can greatly impact your living experience. Determine which amenities are must-haves, whether it’s a secure parking space, a backyard, or access to shared facilities like a gym or pool. Consider how these features will add value to your daily life.

Finally, assess the landlord or property manager’s responsiveness and professionalism. A good landlord ensures a smooth rental experience by addressing concerns promptly and maintaining the property well. Positive interactions during the application process can be an indicator of what to expect during the tenancy.

Taking the time to evaluate these factors ensures you choose a residential rental that meets your needs and enhances your lifestyle. By being thorough and prepared, you can find a home that feels just right.

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.

Elise and the team at Nest Property did an excellent and thorough job arranging commencement of tenancy. They were available to answer my questions and provided clear instructions while working through the tenancy process. I am happy to recommend Nest to investors looking for a managing agent in southern Tasmania or to potential tenants seeking properties available for lease.

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!
