Property Management North Shore

As a landlord/property owner, it will be your responsibility to ensure your property is Healthy Homes Compliant and meets any other building/council codes and regulations. A North Shore property needs to be maintained to a reasonable state of repair, including smoke alarms, and able to provide the tenant with the property’s insurance details – as your property manager, we will help you with this, so you can rest assured that your assets are in safe hands.

The average rent in North Shore can vary depending on factors such as location, property type, and market conditions. For example, the average weekly rent in the popular suburb of Stonefields ranges from $696 to $980, according to tenancy.govt.nz.

However, please note that rental prices can change over time, so it’s recommended to check the most current data from reliable sources.

As your North Shore property manager, we’ll take care of the bulk of managing your property, including:

• Finding reliable tenants through comprehensive screening processes.
• Handling the tenant’s complaints, emergencies, and conflicts diligently and professionally.
• Ensuring the property is consistently maintained and Healthy Homes compliant.
• Overseeing any required maintenance and repair projects while managing a network of reliable contractors.
• Regularly reviewing the property market rent to maximise your rental income.
• Frequently inspect your properties to pre-empt any potential issues.
• Providing monthly reports to property owners regarding the status of their properties and finances.
• Carrying out effective marketing strategies to attract a potential pool of tenants and fill vacancies promptly.

By managing all the above, we give you time to focus on life and add other rental properties to your portfolio. Check out this ultimate residential property maintenance checklist to understand the tasks that come with renting your property and why investing in a property manager is worth it.
