Start with budget, area, and timing
Before calling every number you see, decide your monthly budget, preferred suburbs, move-in date, and non-negotiables such as water, transport access, security, or parking.
Check the listing before travelling
- Confirm the exact suburb and nearby landmarks.
- Ask whether the property is still available.
- Check rent, deposit, lease terms, and extra bills.
- Request recent photos if the advert looks unclear.
Avoid rushed payments
Be careful when someone pressures you to pay before viewing, refuses to verify details, or gives vague property information.
