Porter Matthews Victoria Park Leases Modern Two-Bedroom Granny Flat in Como, WA
Finding the right tenants for a unique rental property requires effective marketing, a clear understanding of the property’s strengths and careful tenant selection. Porter Matthews Victoria Park recently achieved a successful leasing outcome for a modern two-bedroom granny flat in Como, Western Australia, securing two friends as tenants for the newly installed, partly furnished residence.
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and only a short walk from local shops and public transport, the property offered an attractive combination of privacy, convenience and modern living. With electricity, water and gardening costs included in the rent, the granny flat provided the new tenants with the added benefit of more predictable household expenses.
A Modern RediPod Granny Flat
One of the major selling points of the property was its age and presentation. The RediPod granny flat had been installed only seven months earlier, giving the tenants the opportunity to enjoy a modern and beautifully finished home.
Despite being located on the same property as the main residence, the granny flat was designed to provide a strong sense of separation and privacy.
A dedicated walkway and security gate provide a separate entrance, allowing the tenants to come and go without needing to access the main house. Additional privacy screening surrounding the flat further enhances the feeling of having a separate residence.
This was particularly important when marketing the property to prospective tenants looking for the affordability and convenience of a granny flat without sacrificing their personal space.
Two Bedrooms Ideal for Friends Sharing
The layout was particularly well suited to the two friends who ultimately leased the property.
Both bedrooms include built-in robes, providing practical storage without requiring tenants to bring freestanding wardrobes. Ceiling fans have also been installed in both bedrooms, while air conditioning provides additional comfort during Perth’s warmer months.
Having two dedicated bedrooms allowed each tenant to maintain their own private space while sharing the kitchen, bathroom, courtyard and other common areas.
The property includes one bathroom and two car spaces at the front of the property, another valuable feature for two friends sharing a home who may each have their own vehicle.
Partly Furnished for Added Convenience
The granny flat was offered partly furnished with several major appliances already provided.
A fridge, dishwasher and washing machine were included with the property, reducing the number of large appliances the new tenants needed to purchase or relocate.
Large doors allow additional natural light and fresh air into the living areas, helping create a bright and comfortable environment.
Outside, the tenants can enjoy their own private courtyard complete with a water feature. This provides an additional area for relaxing outdoors while reinforcing the granny flat’s private retreat atmosphere.
Utility and Gardening Costs Included
Another important feature Porter Matthews Victoria Park could highlight when marketing the Como granny flat was the inclusion of several regular household expenses in the rent.
Water bills, electricity bills and gardener charges are included, making it easier for the tenants to understand their regular housing costs.
The tenants are responsible for arranging and paying for their own Wi-Fi service.
For two friends sharing a property, having major utility costs incorporated into the rent can also simplify household budgeting by reducing the number of separate bills that need to be divided each month.
Convenient Como Location
Location was another significant advantage.
The granny flat is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, providing a peaceful residential environment while remaining conveniently close to everyday amenities.
Local shops and public transport are approximately a five-minute walk away, giving the tenants easy access to services and transport without necessarily needing to use their cars for every trip.
This combination of a quiet residential setting and nearby amenities helped make the property an attractive rental opportunity in Como.
Establishing the Right Lease Arrangement
The initial lease period was established at six months, with the opportunity to renew and transition into a longer-term lease afterwards.
This arrangement provides an initial fixed period for both the landlord and tenants while leaving open the possibility of establishing a longer tenancy.
As part of the tenancy conditions, dogs are not permitted at the property.
By clearly communicating these conditions alongside the property’s inclusions and features, Porter Matthews Victoria Park was able to ensure prospective tenants understood what was being offered before entering into the lease.
Another Successful Como Leasing Result
The successful leasing of this two-bedroom, one-bathroom granny flat demonstrates the importance of presenting a rental property around the features most relevant to prospective tenants.
For the two friends, the property provided separate bedrooms, two car spaces, modern appliances, air conditioning, a private entrance and courtyard, along with the convenience of electricity, water and gardening expenses being included in the rent.
For the property owner, Porter Matthews Victoria Park secured suitable tenants and established an initial six-month lease with the potential for a longer-term arrangement.
