While many of us are always searching for the next biggest trend in the world of fashion and beauty, or chasing down the next most exciting product in the tech world, it seems that a certain type of property is taking its turn on the ‘hot list’. Many factors have led to the rise in popularity of the infamous ‘lock-and-leave' properties.


Not only are these properties a real estate category, they are building momentum as their own lifestyle category, of simply ‘locking and leaving’. While we may not necessary be ‘leaving’ for anywhere too far at the moment, these properties are based around the idea and benefit of low maintenance-living. Reduced gardens, small floor space and easy to manage interiors.


These properties are becoming a hot commodity for a range of buyers and renters, from your matured real estate downsizes, young professionals, white-collar couples, empty-nesters, and those looking for high density, proximity-based living. Each of these categories are driving in their own way towards these properties, with the fundamental of these being an easier lifestyle.


The lifestyle associated with these properties is one of convenience, location, security and minimal maintenance, all without really losing the warmth of community. In Perth, especially in recent years, we have seen an increase in the development and introduction of high-rise apartments. These properties come with a new world of luxurious benefits, that can at first have the same ‘wow-factor’ of hotel stays. With some properties having security swipe cards, through to concierge services, the ‘lock-and-leave' lifestyle is definitely appealing to an ever-growing group of people.
