How often can you increase the rent?

Rent cannot be increased at intervals of less than 12 months. Landlords must give tenants at least eight weeks’ written notice of a rent increase. In a fixed-term lease, the increase date must be outside the term dates.

How will you find the perfect tenant/s for my property?

Our leasing consultant will meet all potential tenants when conducting open homes for the property. Our leasing team will then closely assess whether the property will be a right fit for those who have applied for the property. Once the applications have been processed and the references have been called for each, we take all applications to the owner, who will decide which applicant to approve of living at the property.

How many routines can be conducted yearly?

A landlord is allowed to inspect a property twice every 12 months. The landlord can also conduct an inspection within the first month of the tenancy and within the last month.

What maintenance is the tenant responsible for, and what is the landlord responsible for?

If there is a noticeable impact or damage that has occurred during a tenancy, it usually falls under the tenant. General upkeep, such as a globe, also falls under the tenant. If the damage falls under general wear and tears due to ageing, this will fall under an owner to repair. However, maintenance can always be a grey area, so it is best to ask your property manager first.

How much notice must a tenant provide if they are on a periodic tenancy?

A periodic lease is a month to month. In the ACT, tenants are only required to give 21 days’ notice in writing.

What is the process if my tenant requests to keep a pet at the property?

If the tenant requests to keep a pet at the property, they must write to the lessor to ask for consent. If the lessor refuses to consent, they will be required to apply to the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal for approval.

" Auverne " - Historic Country Residence - Circa 1890s

Rarely does a property from this era come on to the market in the Canberra region. Situated on an elevated position to take in panoramic views over Bungendore and Lake George, ‘Auverne’ is set on 31.5 hectares (75 acres) of quality agricultural land and offers a superb country lifestyle within approximately 30 minutes drive of Canberra’s CBD, and 5 minutes to Bungendore. This unique property has been home to just 4 families over the last 120 years.

A circa 1890s homestead, ‘Auverne’ is considered a significant heritage property in the Bungendore area. The home has carefully been restored, renovated and extended over the years, retaining the original beauty and charm of the Late Victorian Style.

Offering 301m2 of living space it has north facing formal and informal living areas with four bedrooms and two bathrooms each with antique claw foot baths. The older areas of the home feature original wide Kauri pine floorboards, whilst the newer areas have gleaming Tasmanian Cherrywood flooring. The modern well appointed kitchen has a functional wood stove and the original enamel sink has been retained as a feature. In addition to the hydronic heating the home boasts five fireplaces, two in the original bedrooms.

Rock walls are featured in and around the house gardens, which include a number of paved areas. Ornamental grapes and wisteria cover the ‘Ruin’, an outdoor entertainment area complete with BBQ, fire pit and Wood Fired Pizza oven.

A tiled inground pool is housed in a fabulous building constructed with reclaimed vintage factory windows. There are horse stables, cattle yard and the old shearing shed.

The land is suitable for grazing 20-30 head of cattle and there is an abundant supply of bore water for the garden and a 25,000 litre rain water tank for the house.
‘Auverne’ offers a wonderful rural lifestyle with the charm of the old and the comfort of modern day living.
