Our team are experts in property management, able to handle all the mundane, legal and time-consuming aspects of property management for you with efficiency and professionalism, so that you can reap the rewards of your investment with minimal effort.
New Zealand’s Residential Tenancies Act 1986 is a highly specialised aspect of real estate fraught with danger of litigation in almost every task you may undertake as a landlord. Continuously updated and changing legislation, along with Healthy Homes Compliance regulations, require landlords to stay vigilant in order to meet their legal obligations. A Harcourts Property Manager, familiar with current legislation, and continuously staying up to date with new laws, is able to help you navigate real estate law with ease and expertise, and maintain a fair and professional relationship with your tenant.
Tenant Screening and Selection Services: It is your Harcourts Property Manager’s role to ensure that your property is tenanted by the most suitable applicants. We have professional and effective systems, technologies and networks in place to allow us to find the right tenants for your property quickly.
Through both our ability to attract the best tenants and our knowledge of the law, we know how to make sure your tenants uphold their contractual obligations, and are able to take actions when necessary without involving the Courts. Our rent arrears rates are very low and it gives our clients peace of mind knowing that, should a tenant breach their contract, they personally would not have to recover debts or take actions against those tenants.
Property Maintenance & Care: Enlisting property management services means you can have a life that doesn’t revolve around your tenant’s phone-calls to report general wear and tear. We have a crew of trusted local contractors on speed dial who prioritise Harcourts Just Rentals to sort out any maintenance issues promptly and expertly, and who we can organise to provide regular services such as garden maintenance. Go on holidays, take the phone of the hook, and relax in the knowledge that our property management team are taking care of your property on your behalf.
And the best part? Property management fees are tax deductible.
