if you were buying, I'd say it would be a consideration but really, for renting, it's neither here nor there. Yes, it's nicer to have a nice-looking property on the outside, but you can't have everything.

Different story if you were buying/selling. Street appeal is quite important when you're selling - if you're buying you need to consider whether you could make changes.

Our house is nowhere near as appealing a house from the outside as our old place. It's a circa 40s weatherboard whereas our old place was a brick Victorian. However, there's things we could do to make it more appealing like paint it and replace the aluminium windows with timber windows. The blinds also need replacing. However, we do have a great garden (that also needs some TLC).
