We have done some renovations to one of our flats, and made our tenants very happy. After owning this flat for about six years, it is time we spent some of the money making sure we look after our investment, and look after our very reliable tenants.
The split air conditioning unit is a must in a small flat, situated in a sheltered and hot suburb. We should have installed one of these years ago.
We arrived in time to see the last of the laminated floor being put down in the loungeroom and hallway.
This floor will be much easier to keep clean, than the carpet that was previously here.
The back steps, a little high perhaps, as it is possible to fall off them, but getting a quote to put railings around two sides of the top stop is almost impossible. A simple job one might think. We will have to work on this one.
The new courtyard, looking very swish and practicable. There used to be just bare sandy soil here.
But the front garden, jointly owned with the owners of the other two flats, is a disgrace. Dry, weedy and with very few bark chips remaining to cover the bare earth. And we all pay large amounts of money to the Corporate Body. Luckily we will be attending the quarterly meeting next week. I think we will have plenty of issues to discuss.
When the estate agent also took responsibility for the Corporate Body, she, and us, were very proactive, as the white ant problem was fixed, and the outside of the building was rendered and painted. It helped that Darren owned one of the flats too.
The next projects for our flat will be new kitchen cupboards for the wall, and paint the entire inside of the flat.
