When it comes to investing, many people feel safer putting their money into bricks and mortar; with DHA you get much more.
As a DHA property investor you will benefit from a secure long-term lease, reliable rent payments, and extensive DHA Property Care services.
Long-term lease
DHA’s long-term lease ensures you don’t have to worry about securing and managing tenants, making it a set and forget investment.
DHA’s standard lease terms are nine or 12 years, including an option for DHA to extend the lease.
‘Our property has a 12-year lease with DHA and that is a long time to not have to worry about something!’ Casey – DHA property investor
Reliable rent payments
With DHA paying the rent, you can be confident it will be paid on time. As a DHA investor:
• your rent will be paid to you monthly and in advance
• your rent will be paid even if the property is not tenanted, and
• you will not be charged any letting or advertising fees when tenants change during your lease.
‘With the long term lease and guaranteed rent there is less risk…I believe DHA is the way to go.’ Karen – DHA property investor
DHA Property Care
Let DHA do the work for you! DHA Property Care covers an extensive range of services including:
• rent review
• property management
• repair and maintenance, and
• lease-end restoration.
Rent review
Your rent is reviewed annually to market valuation by licensed valuers. Your initial lease will typically incorporate a ‘rental floor’; this means that you will always be paid the starting weekly rent or higher.
‘Our last rent review was very impressive; we didn’t expect the rent to increase as much as it did.’ Deb – DHA property investor
Property management
DHA undertakes property management, including inspections and reporting on your behalf. DHA will:
• carry out inspections of the property
• provide you with itemised monthly rent receipts, and
• if requested by you, organise payment on your behalf of outgoings (e.g. rates, charges, insurance premiums).
‘We liked the idea of investing in bricks and mortar…but we knew we didn’t want to manage a property ourselves; DHA seemed like a perfect option.’ John – DHA property investor
Repair and maintenance
DHA takes care of an extensive list of non-structural repair and maintenance items, ensuring your property is maintained to a high standard.
DHA will also organise any emergency repair that is essential to preserve the property and/or protect health, safety and security.
‘The great thing about our DHA property is that there is almost nothing we have to worry about. In fact, the only real decision we’ve made so far was buying the property itself!’ Greg – DHA property investor
Lease-end restoration
DHA’s service doesn’t end when your DHA lease ends. Before your property is returned to you DHA ensures that the property is returned in good condition.
At lease end:
• your property will be professionally cleaned internally, and
• appliances will be cleaned and in good working order.
If the total term is six years or more, DHA will paint the property internally.
If the total term is nine years or more DHA will replace carpet and vinyl floor coverings, polish timber flooring, and paint the property internally and externally (except where external painting is the obligation of a body corporate or similar entity).
‘It’s great knowing that DHA has good quality tenants in place and that when the lease expires the property will be returned in good condition.’ Theo – DHA property investor
