What’s your take on this?

I’ve just received an email and will like your views on this:

xxxx is the closest student accommodation to xxx school. The building is 6 years old and still in excellent condition.

The best unit in the block that I have listed is 1504. It is 21 sqm. in size and has great views. I have just had a contract ‘fall over’ there due to finance. It is listed at $130,000 and the vendor would take $125,500. It is currently rented at $235.00 per week. Other ‘C” type units I would recommend are xxx ($120,000) and xxx ($125,000). They are the largest size – 21 sqm. They are at the back of the building which is quieter and cooler. They are both fully- furnished with a kitchen unit and ensuite. They have three windows and a ceiling fan and are cool in summer and warm in winter. Unit xxx has no western afternoon sun in summer. These units are priced for sale with little room for negotiation. I have just sold xxx (‘C’ type) for $127,500.

I also recommend xxx, a ‘B’ type (19 sqm) with views listed for $130,000. This is overpriced but I sold xxx recently for $118,000 and the vendor might take the same price. There has been much interest in xxx this year as the rental returns are so good for inner-city xxx. I also have another “B” type, xxx with an outlook for $120,000. This is a brand new listing.

I also have unit xxx, this is an A type – 18sqm, unit for $110,000. Although this unit is the smaller type, it has great views of xxx.

The body corporate fees here plus the rates are close to $3,000 per annum. For 712 the body corporate fees are $1682.20 per annum and the BCC Rates are $1080 per annum. As I only listed 1413 on Friday last week I haven’t been given the rates notice yet but it should be almost the same as 712. The body corporate for 1413 is $1551.49 per annum. The occupancy rate is 98%. The management fee for rental collection etc is 8%.

There are three other charges involved if you rent the unit to a tenant and these are, telephone line rental – $140.00 per annum, electricity – $15.90 per month, and cleaning fees when necessary. The tenants can hire a car space if they need one.
