Advice from a friend? You got it!

PP-Advice-centreEver had a* conveyancing question that you couldn’t quite answer? Are you occasionally a bit shaky on the CPA? Do you sometimes need assistance with the legalities of rental deposit refunds? (Despite all your years of experience!)*

We understand that the real estate industry can present you with an awful lot to remember – especially in the face of changing legislation and ever-more educated clients. So, 36 months ago, we started collecting every bit of advice we could lay our hands on and collating it in our online advice centre.

Feedback and usage are fantastic – the site gets more than 16 000 hits a month! – and so we recently upgraded it and made it even easier to use and find. Now, there’s a handy link in the “services” drop-down menu on our home page.

We’ve made it simple to find topics too – do you need to assist a buyer? Look in the “Buying a Home” section. Is your potential tenant asking tricky questions? “Tenant advice” is the place to go … and so on.

Our advice centre has free CPA-compliant rental leases, as well as sale agreement documents, that you can dowload in PDF format.

Private Property’s all-new online advice centre really is everything for everyone who has anything to do with property – think of it as your new best friend!
