At Edinburgh Property Management, our range of services covers every aspect of managing your investment, ensuring that you receive the maximum return while minimising the hassle. Our full-service approach means that we handle everything from marketing your property and finding tenants to handling maintenance and legal compliance.
Our property managers are experts in all aspects of property management and understand the obligations of landlords and tenants contained in the relevant legislation. We successfully manage a broad spectrum of properties including residential homes, units, apartments, student flats and studio rooms. Whilst we can boast up-to-the-minute technology, systems and innovative flair, we remain steadfastly old-fashioned in our customer service delivery and believe in establishing long-term relationships with our property owners.
We understand that entrusting your investment property to a property manager requires a huge degree of confidence and trust. We do not just collect rent; we take pride in ensuring that your property is fully cared for. We will professionally and conscientiously manage your investment and invite you to take advantage of our expertise in property management.
Here’s a breakdown of the services we provide:
Rent Appraisal
We provide you with a thorough rent appraisal to determine the best possible rental rate for your property based on current market conditions. Our knowledge of Otago’s rental market ensures that your property is competitively priced and attractive to prospective tenants.
Tenant Selection and Placement
Finding the right tenant is crucial to your success as a property owner. Our tenant selection process includes detailed background checks, rental history verification, and personal interviews to ensure that we place reliable and responsible tenants in your property.
Tenancy Agreements
We prepare detailed tenancy agreements that comply with the latest legal requirements, protecting both you and your tenants. These agreements cover everything from rent collection and maintenance obligations to bond payments and termination clauses.
Bond Lodgement and Rent Collection
We handle bond lodgement with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, ensuring that all legal requirements are met. Rent is collected regularly, and funds are deposited directly into your account on a bi-monthly basis. All financial transactions are tracked and included in your monthly statements.
360° Property Inspections
Regular inspections are vital to maintaining the value of your investment. We conduct detailed property inspections every few months with advanced 360° technology to offer more efficient and accurate property inspections. This innovative system captures every detail of your property, providing clear, comprehensive reports with AI-powered insights. This reduces inspection time, ensures greater accuracy, and helps you stay informed on your property’s condition for better maintenance and peace of mind.
Marketing Your Property
Our in-house marketing team works closely with our property managers to create eye-catching campaigns that showcase your property. We utilise both online platforms (such as realestate.co.nz and Trade Me) and traditional advertising methods (such as print and window displays) to reach a broad audience. Our popular “Get a Room!” magazine is also a great tool for student accommodations.
Maintenance and Repairs
Our network of reliable, cost-effective contractors ensures that any repairs or maintenance issues are handled quickly and professionally. Whether it’s routine maintenance or an emergency repair, we coordinate everything for you, keeping your property in excellent condition.
Compliance with Legislation
The Residential Tenancies Act and its amendments place specific legal obligations on landlords and property managers. Our team ensures that your property complies with all relevant legislation, from health and safety regulations to insulation and heating standards. We stay ahead of legislative changes to protect you from potential penalties.
Dispute Resolution
Should a dispute arise, we are experienced in managing tenant relationships and resolving conflicts. If necessary, we represent you at the Tenancy Tribunal to ensure a fair and legally sound outcome.
Open Communication
We believe in maintaining clear and honest communication with both our property owners and tenants. You can expect regular updates and timely responses to any questions or concerns you may have about your property.
We have managed one of the largest investment portfolios in Otago for more than 20 years.
