Episode #32 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Routine Inspections

7 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on when you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy on the drive home to Hawkesbury and today I wanted to talk to you about routine inspections. Now, routine inspections are done on a quarterly basis for my company. And we like to do that to ensure that the property is maintained, not only for the tenant, but equally for the landlord, so it’s fair for all parties.

You are entitled to do four inspections per year. Some agents will do longer inspections, like every six months or once a year. But we just find that every quarter, it just keeps everybody on the same page and it gives you a good result in the end for all parties.

Anyway, if you’ve got any questions in regards to routine inspections, leasing your property, renting a property, looking at buying a property, I’m always happy to chat. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #31 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Is your Circuit Breaker Tripping

5 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on what time you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’m checking in with you on the drive home to the Hawkesbury. With all this cold weather that we’ve been experiencing, I don’t know about you, but I tend to navigate to the heaters, the air conditioners, warm clothes, electric blankets, those sorts of things. When you haven’t turned on appliances for a period of time, sometimes those appliances cannot be working the way in which they should be, which is why it’s always good to get an electrician out if the circuit breaker trips. What we’ve found over the years is that when the circuit breakers trip, often that will be because there’s something wrong with the appliance or there’s an overload on the electricals. It’s really important that the family’s safe in your house, and that you’re checking those things if there’s a problem. Don’t keep on switching on the circuit breaker and thinking, “Oh, it just must have switched it off”. There’s always a reason for those things happening, and it’s always best to get your electrician in to assess that for you.

Anyway, I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and if you’ve got any questions in regards to your investment property or what to do, or what electricians to give a call in regards to making that assessment for you, I’m more than happy to help you. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #30 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – The best suburbs to invest in Property

5 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening depending on when you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I’m checking in with you on the drive home to Hawkesbury. A question I get asked quite a lot from purchasers and landlords as to which is the best suburb to buy an investment property in? What I’ve done for everybody is put together a list of suburb profiles. There’s about 20 or 30 online for you at my website Rachaelgoldsworthy.com.au under suburb profiles. That will just help you navigate through the questions that you may have in regards to a particular suburb that you’re researching. Once you work out which suburbs you’ve identified that you quite like, whether it’s with schools or whether it’s with shopping centres or whether you just like the way in which it’s got the heritage style houses. What ever it might be that attracts you to those particular suburbs, short list that suburb and put that on the list with the others.

I’d probably do a list of three suburbs that you’re interested in. Then have a look online as to what houses are available and also speak to your agent in regards to what houses are available because they’re more than happy to help you with that process and talk you through as to what questions that you have in regards to buying a house or leasing a house or anything in regards to suburbs. If you’ve got questions in regards to the suburb profiles, or further questions once you’ve read the suburb profiles on my website, I’m more than happy to help you. Always happy to talk about property. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #29 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Motor Homes and Houses

30 June, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening depending on when you’re watching this video. My name is Rachael Goldsworthy on the drive home to the Hawkesbury. Just checking in with you today on a question that I had from a buyer. A buyer had a motor home and they weren’t too sure as to whether the motor home is actually going to fit into the driveway. I said, “Why don’t you bring the motor home to the inspection and we’ll see what we can do for you.” That’s what they essentially did. They brought the motor home to the inspection. Obviously we measured out prior too, to make sure that it would actually fit before driving into the driveway, because that could be an unfortunate accident, if it wasn’t the right size. It all worked out really well. I guess the main thing is, never be frightened to ask a question of your agent because your agent’s more than happy to help you with that process especially what we do at Rachael Goldsworthy Realty. Any questions that you have in regards to property, more than happy to help you with that. I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.
