Are you looking to rent a flat at the moment? If the answer is yes then I would suggest that you try Birmingham. Birmingham is the second city of the UK and is home to over 1 million people. There must be lots of things to do in order to cater for a population of that size.

What makes Birmingham a great place to find a flat? One of the reasons for this is the large amount of them. There are thousands of flats/apartments for you to choose from. In recent times there has been a huge property boom. Investors wanted a piece of the action so invested heavily in building flats there. The result? Lots of them for you to choose your ideal home.

The result of the large number of flats to rent in Birmingham was a shift in power in the market. Good for renters, bad for landlords. As we all know if the supply of something goes up, if the demand remains constant then the price will fall. As the property market slows down again more of these properties are coming onto the rental market meaning a more downward pressure on rents.

Facilities are now a lot better as they have been upgraded with the flats. Birmingham has a reputation of being a manufacturing city. This has changed now as more professionals are looking for flats to rent in Birmingham. Many new places have open in order to satisfy the demand of the new tenants and this means that there is a lot to do.

Birmingham is right in the middle of England. The transport network in the region is excellent and it has one of the biggest stations in the country. This means that things are easy to get to. I am not just talking about the city centre. It is the gateway to the entire country.

Given what is going on at the moment is it surprising that more people are looking for flats to rent in Birmingham?

Many of us live in a rental property at some point.   Some people share communal space whilst studying at university, some share houses when starting their careers, others share apartments whilst travelling the world, others rent while waiting to get onto the property ladders, others do so for financial reasons, whilst other rent simply because they prefer the flexibility. 

Asked who they’d most like to share a house with, respondents in a recent survey apparently put celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver at the top of their list with the bad boy of music, Pete Doherty at the bottom.  While it’s no surprise that the friendly, funny and warmhearted Jamie comes ahead of the troubled rocker with his penchant for noisy guitars and a history of antisocial behaviour, but when it comes to renting a house or apartment, you certainly don’t want any nasty surprises!

So when it comes to renting, where does one begin?  Don’t limit your search to property management companies, talk to real estate agents, scour the classified sections of local newspapers and search the internet.   And remember, quality tenants are highly sought after – so having all your ducks in a row from the outset will be a big advantage.

Just as your landlord needs to check out your references, if you’re dealing with an agent, check out their credentials and professional associations.   According to a reputable agent specializing in real estate Bentley, Western Australia, a good agent will also have the tenants’ best interests at heart and it’s best to deal with professionals.  Renting can be a hassle-free experience for both parties OR it can be a minefield – so here are some things to remember :

1.    Before you even begin, it’s advisable to have all information that may be required by the landlord on hand (such as identity documents, details of references, proof of employment, reports from a previous landlord etc)

2.    Understand what your rights as a tenant are and what your obligatipns are.  Lease agreements will vary from place to place, so make sure all bases are covered. 

3.    Spend plenty of time investigating your options.  Do a checklist of important aspects – public transport, schools, community centres, sports clubs etc.

4.    And when you see a property you like, check it carefully even though it may look perfect.  It’s wise to draw up another checklist and go through with a fine toothcomb.  For example, check the state of the appliances, the water pressure, the cleanliness of the carpets, what furnishings are included.  If anything is not quite right, take a photo of it and get the estate agent to record the date.

5.    Check the inventory thoroughly before signing anything.  At a glance, things may look in order, but it’s always worth spending time on the detail to avoid possible conflict – and cost – in the future.

6.    Always read between the lines!  You need to know your responsibilities as a tenant and there are often hidden issues such as maintenance and cleaning that could lead to dispute and the consequent losing of a deposit.  A tip : ask questions and never sign a form that’s blank!

7.    Having experienced rental estate agents on your side when you make the legal commitment can be a big advantage.  They’ll have the benefit of experience to cross all the ‘i’s and dot the ‘t’s – such as if there’s an obligation for the landlord to do an annual safety check on the gas and electrical system

 This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to aspects involved in renting.  Going online is probably your best bet for uncovering information as well as for locating reputable rental agents – simply key in the relevant words and the suburb you’re looking in – such as rent Victoria Park or rental properties Bentley – and the most popular websites (of the better agents) will appear at the top.

A final thought – getting up close and personal with people is a reality when it comes to sharing rental accommodation.  Sharing with a celebrity chef may not be an option, but celebrating good times with good people in your rental property is….. but only if you’ve chosen them carefully!

Tenants in metropolitan Perth continue to benefit from stable rental prices as the vacancy rate for properties to let remains well above average.

New data from the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia show that while the vacancy rate in Perth dropped slightly from 4.7 per cent in the December quarter to 4.1 per cent in March, the overall median rent remains unchanged at $370 per week.

REIWA President Alan Bourke said the slightly lower vacancy rate in the Perth real estate market was due to diminished stock and not to increased demand by tenants.

“What we are witnessing is that many investors who found it hard to sell in the last couple of years put their properties into the rental system to ride out the downturn.

“Now that things have improved, some owners are listing these dwellings for sale which accounts for the increased stock for sale and the lower vacancy rate,” he said.

Mr Bourke said this dynamic helped to justify why rents were stable.

“There is no great demand pressure to cause rent increases and it’s notable that typical rents in Perth have only grown by about $10 per week since the December quarter of 2008,” said Mr Bourke.

REIWA data show that the median rent for a house in Perth is $380 per week, up by a modest $5 on the December quarter, while the median rent for units, apartments, villas and townhouses was steady at $350 per week.

Despite no movement in Perth’s overall median rent, some sub-regions did experience rises and falls.

REIWA data show that rents increased by 6 per cent in Bayswater-Bassendean (to $350 per week), and by 5.7 per cent in the north west section of Wanneroo ($370).

By contrast, rents fell by around 3 per cent in Gosnells ($330), and the Western Suburbs ($440).

Mr Bourke said that a vacancy rate of 3 per cent was ideal for Perth and provided the right equilibrium between supply and demand.

“The current vacancy rate is therefore about 36 per cent higher than Perth’s long term average, but this can change quickly if jobs pick up strongly on the back of a resurgent resources sector,” Mr Bourke said.

In March 2007 the Perth vacancy rate plunged to just 0.8 per cent.

Approximately one out of every four households in Western Australia is a rental property, representing almost 190,000 dwellings.

Of course, rental prices do differ from suburb to suburb. For example, the median rental price for real estate in Duncraig is $455 per week. While renting in North Freemantle is approximately $400 per week. Rentals in the suburb of Kardinya tend to be more affordable.

Over the last ten years, the proportion of renters in WA has been reasonably steady at around 28 per cent of all households. The proportion of private sector tenants is growing.

A majority of rental properties are situated close to major cities and large towns. In Perth, for example, over 75 per cent of all rental properties are located within a 15 kilometre radius of the city centre. Most renters want to be close to the city for work and social reasons. Also living close to the CBD offers better public transport options for most renters.

The suburbs with the highest concentration of rentals are East Perth, Karawarra, West Perth, Northbridge, Highgate, Bentley, Glendalough and Victoria Park. In these areas, rental properties account for up to 70 per cent of all dwellings.

The most common age group for renters is between 20 and 34 in WA. Typically, these people are making a transition to home ownership. The most common home ownership and buying age group is around 34 to 44.

The most common lease is for six months as tenants prefer a short agreement. Tenants like the flexibility of a short lease, however more than half of all such leases are renewed for a further six months.

The median rent for accommodation in Perth is now $360 per week. This includes prices for apartments, units, villas and houses combined. Houses alone are generally higher with a median of around $370 per week. The rental market in Perth has been steady for units and apartments for more than a year, but rents for houses recently increased by about $10 per week.

Many renters have taken advantage of the First Home Buyers Boost. Many tenants have left the rental system and become home owners. This in turn freed up more properties for rent and is a key reason why Perth’s current vacancy rate is above average, sitting at just over 4 per cent.

Business Realestate Rental - There’s a number of reasons why a business needs to rent offices, maybe you’re starting out, or maybe you’ve come across some hard times, and need to scale down your operation. Businesses deserve to have a quality office at their disposal, regardless of why they need to rent office space. So if you find yourself in need of a professional office, start thinking about these things. Does the office you’re looking for have a fully furnished conference room complete with a conference speaker phone, internet, flat screen TV, and digital music; high speed internet and fax; professional, quality office furniture; a beautiful receptionist area; and much, much more? These are things you must remember when considering renting or leasing office space. You want to make sure that when you rent offices, you don’t wind up paying too much. You don’t want to be paying exorbitant prices per person, or for phone lines, or phone numbers.

Where your business will be located is something that you’ve got to take into account. Your office’s location should be easily accessible. Being on, or just off of, a major city street is a great way for people to know where you’re located without much hassle. Ideally your business needs to be situated in a good, up scale neighborhood. No one wants to go to a business meeting in a less than great part of town. The proximity to restaurants and other businesses of different types is also a big advantage, so you and your client can get some food after or before a meeting.

There’s a lot of things to consider when you’re looking for a location for your business, make sure you take them all into account and go with a business location that’s top notch.

So if your business needs to rent some business property, make sure you do your research.

While every house owner wants their home furnishings to be beautiful, it’s important to think about functionality when selecting pieces for your home. While a white sofa may look incredible in your living space, this piece may not serve a family with small children very well. Fortunately , there are several upholstery options available to select from that are both attractive and sturdy. In addition, fabric protectors can be applied that will make the upholstery fabric stain resistant.

Price is mostly a worry for most householders, but it pays in the long run to pick the highest quality furniture you are able to afford. One of the best strategies to save money is to buy from online shops. These outlets are able to charge less because their overhead is normally lower than brick and mortar stores.

Furniture is a major purchase and will most likely be part of your house for many years. Irrespective of what kind of living room furniture that’s’s in style currently, choose furniture that you find comfortable and appealing.

Replacing your flooring or carpeting can be particularly costly. A way to save money is to get it wholesale. There are flooring companies that offer wholesale prices to contractors and to the public. You can’t get wholesale prices for carpeting or flooring at home stores because they need to make the most profit. The best method to get the best prices is to go looking for stores or websites that are specifically geared toward wholesaling.

Carpeting can be really expensive depending on what decisions you make and what options you need. A basic Berber in a neutral color will cost less than all-wool carpeting in a custom color. However by looking into wholesale carpet, you’re going to get what you want at a price you can afford. If you’ve got a contractor to do the work, you can get him to purchase it for you since he’s going to have contacts that may go with you to see what decisions you have. Either way, you are still getting a good deal.

The same remains true with flooring. Granite and marble is costlier than hardwood which in its turn is dearer than laminate. But , all you have to do is a little looking and you’ll be able to find what you want at a fee that you can live with. The time you spend to find the most competitive prices will be worth it because you are able to save a large amount of money by going wholesale. Using one of the search websites will give you all the results which you need. If you are not working with a contractor, you might always try calling one to ask him where he gets his flooring.

Having the right flooring can actually contribute in your house. You want to have something that really shows your style and personality. You also need something which will stand up to the test of time because you don’t want to have to buy new flooring on a consistent basis. Nonetheless flooring and carpeting can cost a great deal of money. You need to be in a position to find the best price you can when you buy your new flooring. That is what makes it so important to spend slightly more time looking for wholesale hardwood flooring.
