How to Beat the Crowd

Make your application stand out

At LJ Hooker House we want to help, so our Property Management team have come up with a few ideas to help you make a successful application.

 

A property investment manager's main concerns when assessing suitability for a property is an applicant's ability to pay the rent and their ability to care for the property in a suitable manner and in accordance with the terms of the lease.

 

We are often asked this question:

 

"How can I be sure to secure this property when there are so many interested parties"?

 

Think of it like a job application. Be sure to fill out the entire form giving clear information, phone numbers etc. A covering letter is a great way to help us assess your suitability for the property, so take a moment to write one with an overview of who you are and why you would make a good tenant.

 

Consider dropping by our office here at 102 Glover Street Mosman (almost opposite the Cremorne Orpheum Cinema) and deliver your application by hand. We'd love to say hello.

 

 

Make your application here:

 

1) Search for the property by clicking this button

2) Find the property you wish to apply for

3) Follow the steps as prompted

 

 

Other tips to help:

 

If you have just sold your home, supply the name and contact number of the agent who handled the sale as a reference point.

 

If you have been in student accommodation, supply the name and contact number of the person responsible for the management of the complex.

 

If you have lived with your parents, you will need personal references and you may choose for a parent to sign the lease in addition to you.

 

Examples of documentation you can provide that will help a property investment manager make these decisions include:

 

  • Verification of employment
  • Verification of income
  • Reference from employer or fellow staff member
  • Reference from neighbour/teacher/business person/doctor/accountant
  • Photo identification - driver's licence/passport/student ID
  • Three personal references - these should not be from relatives
  • Last gas/electricity/phone bill or rates notice
  • Copy of bank statement
  • Registration number of vehicle
  • Last address
