We have a property that we manage from a distance - it is in Wellington and we are in Dunedin. We want to sell this property and are currently trying to get trades people through to do all the cosmetic work needed to improve its presentation ready to go to the market.
The tenant has been fantastic allowing us to get quotes and get the work started.
I want to tell her of our intention as she has been a good tenant but I also don't want to jeopardise her panic and putting a halt to the work we need to do.
In saying that I don't want her to get annoyed wiht us for not telling her until we are ready to go to market (hopefully around 1 months time).
Obviously we would be very considerate to her once on the market with insepction times, open homes etc and would offer her a reduced rent to compensate for this - we also really need the house tenanted as the cost of not having the incoming rent would be prohibitive for us - any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated - do we tell her before work has started and risk the work being delayed or not done at all or tell once work is completed - we intend to go to the market a soon as it is completed?
thank you for any advice or experience people have around this
