At South Property Management, we don't just manage your property, we look after it.
South Property Management
We are Dunedin's local, award-winning, rental property management team. We provide exceptional service to landlords and tenants alike.
We skilfully manage your investment property to maximise your investment return, grow your wealth and allowing you to enjoy your free time.
Our bespoke approach to property management improves the value of your investment. With a personal touch and attention to detail we ensure the highest quality tenants for your property year-round.
Our hands-on approach means we treat your property as if it were our own, giving you peace of mind and the confidence to focus on what matters most to you.
Why Choose South?
We take a "win-win" approach
We apply this to all situations we encounter. A happy tenant represents less risk and less cost to an owner. While a happy owner provides more security to the tenant. Every scenario is different but this concept drives how we apply our professional judgement.
Expert knowledge and compliance
Tenancy law is complex and ever-evolving. Our value lies in our thorough understanding of the legislation, ensuring you meet all legal obligations. We are committed to ongoing professional development to stay up-to-date and provide the best service.
Tenant rapport
We aim to build and maintain good relationships with our tenants. Strong rapport with tenants can lead to longer tenancies, reduced wear and tear, fewer maintenance issues, lower arrears, and better property presentation. This ultimately reduces risk and costs for our owners.
Property management is our primary focus
We are an independent property management company. This means our sole focus is delivering high-quality management, providing exceptional customer service, and maximising the potential of your investment.
Transparent and competitive rates
We pride ourselves on the quality of our property management and offer clear, competitive pricing. Our standard fees are available on our Owners page, and we can also provide a tailored fee proposal specific to your property.
No charge for quick fixes
We take care of small jobs like tripped fuses, loose screws, or a leaking pipe joint ourselves or guide tenants over the phone. This saves you from unnecessary costs that other companies would pass on by hiring a tradesperson.
The team at South Property Management (formerly Mana) have been a godsend for my investing in Dunedin. They helped me buy, renovate, and manage a block of flats - all completely sight unseen. It has been the easiest, and most lucrative, experience in my investing career. There is no way I could manage the property without the help of the Mana team, they have made it so smooth.
I like the almost INSTANT response when I apply for properties, even within half an hour of sending a message about a property I was interested in, I had an appt within minutes! Agents are always in time and very friendly and professional. I'm sure we will find our long term rental home soon! Keep up the great work!
South (formerly Mana) is a great company to work with from a tradies point of view, you don’t need to spend to much time with them to realise that they have a strong code of ethics that ensures they do the right thing. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a property management company.
