10 questions every landlord should ask a potential property manager
Habitat Property Management is a family run business. Originally Auckland property investors that have been collectively investing in property for more than 10 years. We have now expanded our management operations into Northland. Our staff have extensive experience as property managers for both clients and their own portfolios.
At Habitat, we’re renowned for our expertise in residential property management. We have an exceptional team with deep knowledge of tenancy law and a passion to ensure every client is taken care of like family. Because we specialise, you can be confident your business will thrive!
Our directors have a vested interest in their own Auckland and Whangarei property portfolios — comprised of residential and short-term rental properties. This ensures that both our clients and ourselves benefit, as we actively strive for ways to refine our performance and increase rental returns.
First, we advise on getting your property looking its absolute best. We might be a little biased, but we’re good at achieving a top rental return for our clients. Part of this is through excellent photography. Depending on your property, we advertise across a range of the largest tenant sites like Marketplace, Trademe, OneRoof, Realestate.co.nz, or Homes.co.nz to name a few.
We partner with Centrix for tenant background, credit checks and ID verification. We also search private tenant databases, tenancy tribunal, police name matches and conduct reference checks with employers, previous landlords and a character reference.
Yes, our policy is to inspect 1 month into a tenancy and every 3 months thereafter. We are firm on this policy as inspections pick up most issues before they become problematic. It is likely that your insurance requires quarterly inspections too. You can contact us here to view an inspection report.
We have SLA’s with trusted tradesmen. If your property needs repairs, we seek multiple quotes for your approval. Because we provide them regular work, we have negotiated upfront price discounts.
We have zero tolerance for rental arrears. If rent is late, we make contact with the tenant to understand why. We work with them to create a plan to remedy arrears. In the rare circumstances that we don’t get a positive outcome quickly, we will issue a 14 day notice and apply for mediation or tribunal. If required, we will attend Tenancy Tribunal on your behalf. Our standard rental agreements contain a debt collection clause that allows us to recover rent, plus associated collection costs.
We have a transparent pricing structure. For our full property management service, our management fee starts from 6.95% plus GST. View our full service pricing here.
Our casual service pricing is also available here.
