A property sale.With people in mind.

Start with the lease and communication

Share the lease term, rent and deposit information, and who manages communication. Avoid making promises about a move-out date before the lease and applicable rules have been reviewed.

Plan a respectful property visit

We prefer to see the home before an actual offer. Access must be arranged appropriately with the owner or manager and occupants; sending the address does not authorize an unannounced visit.

Put occupancy terms in writing

A sale does not make tenancy questions disappear. The buyer, seller, and their advisers need to understand how existing agreements and duties are handled under the purchase terms and applicable law.

Prepare for the sale without disrupting the home

The first conversation can happen before anyone visits. Tell us how the tenancy is managed and any practical limits on access. You do not need to share an occupant’s sensitive personal details in the public enquiry notes.

• Use the owner or authorized manager as the initial point of contact.
• Have lease and deposit records ready for appropriate review.
• Discuss lawful notice and access arrangements before scheduling a visit.
• Avoid promising vacancy until the lease and applicable requirements have been checked.

Compare an occupied sale with other options

An occupied property can be considered for purchase, but the offer and agreement must reflect the tenancy. Do not assume a sale automatically ends a lease or settles a dispute. If there are arrears, a pending notice or uncertainty about rights, take qualified local advice before changing arrangements.

We can discuss a possible purchase while those questions are clarified. No particular tenant outcome is promised by the initial enquiry.
