Photographic Images of Property (Taken by the Author) Streetscape and Outlook Site and Building Exterior Building Interior Kitchen and Bathroom Building Interior Living and Bedroom Marketing Opportunity Appraisal of Subject Property A single unit is appraised at the value of around $385,000. This figure is subject to increment depending on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, age, condition, and view of unit. Method of sale Online sale is the most appropriate method to go about sale of an apartment in this building. Target market has online access, and most searches for a serviced apartment near CBD are usually conducted online. An online real estate agency is therefore the best choice to conduct sales for the apartments. Marketing and Advertising Online marketing will be the most appropriate method of sales because sales are also conducted mainly online. Advertisement will be done online and therefore advertising budget will be relatively affordable/low. Online advertisements will be placed on relevant and related websites such as those on touring South Australia, particularly Adelaide. A website will also be set up for the building showcasing pictures, and features to ease view and make it easier for shoppers to decide. Budget will be relatively low; around $1000 Investment / Development Opportunity Income potential Windsor apartments are quite suitable for long or short term leasing because of a number of factors including their proximity to the CBD, ease of access by public transport and their relatively affordable cost. Development Opportunity The property can be further developed by increasing the number and quality of services provided, by improving customer service for example and setting up systems to collect honest and timely feedback so as to improve based on customer reviews as a way of increasing customer satisfaction and increasing demand. Investment Analysis OR Feasibility Analysis The apartment is purely residential and therefore is appropriate for rental purposes. Secondary investments can be considered by tenants if the lease agreement allows it, or by owners as long as they do not violate the terms and conditions. Since the property is a block of units and the land has been developed as well as it should be, there is little opportunity for further real estate development, and this section shall therefore concentrate on the property’s investment opportunity. Investment Value Evidence Based Estimate of probably rental and investment value. Refer to online instructions on the DOP learnonline page under Assessment Material - Project (enter your material and delete this line). Units are currently renting at prices between $225-$310 depending on the number of bathrooms, bedrooms and facilities available for a minimum 5 night stay on short term lease. They are also available for longer term rent as well as for sale. Appendix Appendix Read More
