Frequently asked questions
Common questions from property owners
Every property and tenancy is different. These answers provide a starting point, and our team can discuss your circumstances directly.
How much rent could my property achieve?
Likely rent depends on location, size, condition, features, presentation and current market demand. A rental appraisal is the best starting point.
Can you manage a property that already has tenants?
Potentially, yes. We first review the existing tenancy information and management arrangements, then explain what is required for a proper handover.
How are maintenance requests handled?
Requests are assessed and, where work is needed, suitable contractors can be coordinated. Significant or non-urgent decisions are discussed with the owner.
How often are routine inspections completed?
The inspection approach depends on the tenancy, property and applicable requirements. We agree on a practical schedule and provide relevant reporting.
Do you help with rent arrears and tenancy issues?
We monitor rent and follow up issues promptly. Notices, documentation and escalation steps are handled in line with the situation and applicable obligations.
