Maintenance

We take a proactive approach to maintenance to reduce long-term costs and protect your rental yield. Plus, we pass on our trade discounts for whiteware, appliances, and building supplies directly to our owners.

Renovations

Renovations

Our team can project manage renovations and upgrades to your investments. We have experience in full overhauls through to a new bathroom or kitchen, or a simple refreshes like repainting or new carpets. We can also identify small changes that can be made to help increase the return on your investment, such as replacing worn lino or a stained vanity.

Tenants

Tenants

We have a comprehensive tenant selection process which includes multi-bureau background and credit checks. Once tenants have moved in, we do our best to make them comfortable by employing our kindness and empathy ethos. We believe that this leads to less wear and tear and longer term tenancies meaning less vacancy. We are not casual about enforcing the Residential Tenancies Act but we do it with kindness and empathy.

Rent arrears

Rent arrears

We closely monitor rent payments and take proactive steps to keep tenants on track. Using the provisions under the Residential Tenancies Act and maintaining regular personal contact, we work hard to resolve any payment issues quickly.

Rent reviews

Rent reviews

Our tenancy agreements are fixed for 12 months as is usual in Dunedin. Before we sign a new tenancy agreement, we appraise the property against the market and discuss our suggestions with owners.

Inspections

Inspections

We perform inspections on a quarterly basis as that is the requirement of most insurers. Our inspections are thorough, with around two hundred photos being taken and stored in our system in case they are needed as evidence at a later date. You will receive an inspection report with around 20 photos to give you an idea of the condition of the property and notes on what we found and any maintenance we have actioned.
