Our Property Management Services
Here at Raine and Horne St Leonards we don't believe just collecting your rent is managing your property. It's about maximising your return and protecting your asset. Our property management team will conduct thorough regular property inspections, detailing the condition of your home, and guide you on how to maintain the property in a manner that will maximise your rental return and the long term value of your asset.
1.Advertising
To ensure that your property receives maximum exposure we download at least three photos and all relevant information, including open for inspection times to the following websites:
2.Selection of Tenants
Every effort is made to ensure that the recommended tenant is suitable for your property.Comprehensive reference checking is carried out on all prospective tenants and a 100 point ID validation process is used to confirm identity. We never hand out keys for inspections and all prospective tenants are personally shown through your property so we can further gauge their suitability.
3. Inspections
We conduct regular property inspections, and also commencement and termination inspections.
4. Rental Payments
Landlord statements are issued itemising income and expenditure for each monthly period, including invoices of all accounts paid on the landlord’s behalf. We also provide a full yearly report of all income and expenditure for the financial year.
5. Tenant Arrears
Arrears are closely scrutinised with phone calls prior, and reminder letters and emails.
6. Bond Inspections
Bond Inspections are carried out with the greatest of care and an Inspection Report completed. This report is checked against the commencement inspection report. Any claims will be deducted from the tenants bond.
7. Charges
Our fees are in accordance with the fees and commission guide attached.
8. Repairs
The repairs and maintenance clause of the Management Agency Agreement is for general repairs only. Items other than minor plumbing, electrical and maintenance repairs will not be authorised without prior consent of the landlord. We have reliable licensed handymen, plumbers and electricians who have been working with us for many years.
9. Rent Reviews
Rent reviews are carried out on a regular basis depending on market conditions. Our rental policy ensures the lowest possible vacancy factor.
10. Residential Tenancy Act
Over recent years there have been numerous changes to the Residential Tenancy Act. We feel this necessitates professional property management advice in order that the landlord complies with his legal requirement under the Act. As members of the Real Estate Institute we receive regular updates on changes to the Residential Tenancy Act.
12. The Raine & Horne Network
Through the Raine & Horne network your property will have wide exposure listed nationally.
