Im trying to decide whether a front fence adds any value to a perspective tenant?
My place is in an area where around 50% of houses have a front fence, and the other 50% dont have one at all.
Ive been told by my father to put up a front fence (those white loopy ones about 1m-1.2m high).
I can understand that from a security for a child perspective is that may be more appealing and from a selling point it will make the place more attractive. However I have no intention of selling and intend to keep it purely as a rental.
There is approximately 40m worth of front fence that I would need to do if I decided to go down that path.
So what would make a place more rental-able? A drop in rent by $10 per week or spending money on putting a fence that may make a house visually more appealling from the outside?
