Website Disclaimer

Last updated: 11 April 2026

1. About this disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to optimarea.com.au, including all pages, articles, guides, videos, downloads, and forms (the “Website”). The Website is operated by OptimaRea Pty Ltd from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. By accessing the Website you acknowledge and accept this disclaimer.

2. General information only — not advice

OptimaRea is a licensed Victorian estate agent providing property management, leasing, renovation, and related services. We are not a licensed financial adviser, Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) holder, authorised representative, tax agent, mortgage broker, credit provider, lawyer, quantity surveyor, building surveyor, or registered town planner, and we do not hold ourselves out as any of those things.

Nothing on the Website is:

• personal financial product advice within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth);
• tax advice within the meaning of the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (Cth);
• credit advice within the meaning of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth);
• legal advice;
• a property valuation, building report, pest report, depreciation schedule, or engineering report;
• a substitute for a planning permit, building permit, or compliance sign-off from the relevant authority.

All content is general in nature and has been prepared without taking into account your personal objectives, financial situation, or needs. Obtain independent professional advice from suitably licensed advisers before acting.

3. Rent uplift, yield, and ROI examples

The Website shows examples of rent increases, yield improvements, and “before / after” outcomes from granny flats, rooming house conversions, renovations, and dual-occupancy projects. These figures are based on past OptimaRea projects at specific properties under specific market conditions. They:

• are not a projection of what your property will achieve;
• are not a guarantee of rent, yield, vacancy, lender valuation, or capital growth;
• do not take into account your loan structure, interest rate, holding costs, land tax, insurance, depreciation, or personal tax position;
• assume the property is physically, legally, and commercially suitable for the work described — which must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Property management is not a financial product and past project outcomes are not a reliable indicator of future results.

4. Compliance, planning, and construction

Any information on the Website about minimum rental standards, Class 1a compliance, rooming house regulations, granny flat rules, planning permits, building permits, switchboard upgrades, smoke alarms, pool fencing, electrical compliance, gas compliance, or similar matters is a plain-language summary only. It may be out of date, incomplete, or incorrect for your specific property. Rules vary by council, by lot, by building classification, and over time. Before relying on any compliance statement, confirm the current position with Consumer Affairs Victoria, your local council, the Victorian Building Authority, and a licensed building practitioner, electrician, plumber, or planner as appropriate.

Cost estimates for compliance work, switchboard upgrades, smoke alarm installation, and similar items are indicative only and will vary significantly based on the property, contractor, and scope of work.

5. Manager-to-property ratios and service benchmarks

References to manager-to-property ratios (for example, “1:50” versus industry averages), response times, tenant quality outcomes, vacancy statistics, and similar performance statements describe our internal service standards or industry benchmarks as we understand them at the time of writing. They are not a contractual guarantee of service level or outcome. Actual service and outcomes at your property will depend on the terms of your management agreement, the property itself, market conditions, tenant behaviour, and many other factors.

6. Testimonials

Client comments published on the Website are provided by individual landlords about their own specific property and experience. They are not endorsements of any particular strategy and are not a representation that the same outcome is available to you. Individual results vary.

7. No reliance; limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OptimaRea, its directors, employees, contractors, and agents:

• make no representation or warranty, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, currency, reliability, or suitability of any information on the Website;
• accept no liability for any loss or damage (including indirect, consequential, or economic loss) suffered by any person in connection with their use of, or reliance on, the Website or its content;
• accept no liability for any error, omission, interruption, delay, virus, or unauthorised access affecting the Website.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred on you by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any other legislation where to do so would be unlawful.

8. Forward-looking statements

Any statement about future events — including about the Melbourne or Victorian rental market, rental demand, build costs, planning rules, compliance rules, or tax treatment — is a forward-looking statement that involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual events may differ materially. OptimaRea is under no obligation to update any forward-looking statement after it is published.
