Basic move-in
Curtains, lights, fans, water heater, loose furniture, appliances and cleaning.
Renovation
Plan renovation budget before you stretch your purchase price.
A comfortable purchase price should leave room for defects, curtains, lighting, appliances, furniture, move-in costs and emergency buffer.
Rental furnishing
Prioritise durable items, tenant-friendly layout and replacement cost.
Own-stay comfort
Plan storage, lighting zones, electrical points and long-term family needs.
Hidden buffers
Set aside cash for defects, delivery, installation, minor works and management deposits.
Do not over-renovate
For investment, avoid spending more than the rental market can support.
Compare before buying
A cheaper unit can become expensive if renovation and furnishing needs are high.
