The following information was correct at the time of writing; however it’s an ever-evolving industry so we do recommend doing your own research.

Choosing a property manager can be a mission, especially if you’ve never rented a property before and when there are hundreds to choose from. In order to find the property manager for you, you need be asking the right questions. After all, a good property manager is worth their weight in gold whilst a bad one can cost you a lot. When choosing a property manager to take over your investment be sure to ask these essential questions to make sure your property manager knows their stuff. We’ve included a video response to each of these questions to give you our answers!

  • When can I view my property if it’s rented?
  • Can I make a repair after hours or on the weekend?
  • What do tenants get told before moving into my property?
  • Who pays the water bill?
  • Do I really need insurance?
  • Can you guarantee my tenant won’t cause trouble?
  • How long until I start receiving rental income?
  • How will my rent be set?
  • What happens if a tenant misses or is late with a rental payment?
  • When can I increase the rent, and by how much?
  • Who is meant to take care of my garden?
  • Who is responsible for taking care of pests?
