Frequently asked questions

What is NABERS?
Australia's National Australian Built Environment Rating System — a government-backed rating from 1 to 6 stars on energy, water, and indoor environment. NABERS Energy 5.5+ is the trophy benchmark.
What is the difference between face rent and effective rent?
Face rent is the headline gross rent. Effective rent is face rent minus incentive — the cost to the landlord (and therefore the underlying market price). In Sydney, effective rents are 30-40% below face.
