currently a renter and have also been a residential landlord of some 300 properties not sure what water restrictions are like over there but one of the best systems I had set up with the properties I managed was ensuring the L/L paid an additinal allowance on the excess water, this encouraged the tenat to maintain the yard which in turn protects your investment. agree with all other comments posted as well, I like to think of it as would I live there if not why should I ask someone else to
thanks for the quick responses, this appears to be a fantastic site, looking forward to chatting to all and learning a lot in the next few months, will be starting out in a few months as funds currently tied up in a building project
