What we handle

Everything between you and the tenant.

Leasing & tenant selection

Professional listing, viewings, and thorough reference and history checks before any lease is signed.

Rent & arrears control

Daily rent monitoring with a firm, documented arrears process — issues raised with you early, not after they grow.

Routine inspections

Scheduled inspections with photo reports, so you see the condition of your property without visiting it.

Maintenance coordination

Trusted local trades, quotes above an agreed limit, and no surprise invoices.

Compliance & legislation

Smoke alarms, RCDs, lease law changes — kept current so your property never drifts out of compliance.

Clear monthly reporting

Plain-English statements and an end-of-year summary your accountant will thank you for.

Switching is easy

Unhappy with your current manager? We handle the move.

One authority form from you — we collect the file, keys and bond records from your current agent and notify the tenant. Most switches complete within two weeks, with no vacancy and no awkward phone calls.

Plan your budget

What good landlords budget for.

Landlord insurance

Covers rent default and tenant damage — typically $300–$500 a year and tax deductible.

Annual maintenance

Allow roughly 1% of property value a year. Fixing small things early protects rent and tenants.

Compliance servicing

Smoke alarm and RCD checks each tenancy change — we schedule these automatically.

Vacancy buffer

Plan for 2 weeks a year unlet. Our portfolio currently runs under 1% vacancy, but the buffer keeps you comfortable.

Getting ready to lease

Before the first tenant walks in.

A short list of things to arrange when your property becomes a rental. We walk you through each one when the authority is signed.

NOTIFY AND INSURE

Council and Water Corporation. Advise them Property North is your managing agent; mail can come straight to us if you would like us to pay accounts on your behalf.

Your insurer. Advise the property will be tenanted. We strongly recommend Landlord Protection Insurance; building, contents and landlord cover are all recommended when leasing.

Compliance check. Hard-wired smoke alarms, RCDs and minimum security requirements, all met before the tenancy starts. We can arrange the checks.

HAND TO US

Three sets of keys. One for the office, two for the tenants, plus any alarm or garage remotes for the property.

Appliance manuals. Reticulation, alarm, air-conditioning, hot water system, oven and stove, so tenants use them properly.

Insurance paperwork. Building and landlord policy documents, in case you would like us to lodge claims on your behalf.

Landlord questions

What landlords ask us first.

How do you choose tenants?

Employment, rental history and reference checks on every application — then a recommendation to you with the evidence. You always make the final call.

What happens when something breaks?

Urgent items are actioned immediately; everything else is quoted with our local trades and approved by you above the agreed limit.

How often will I hear from you?

Monthly statements, inspection reports as they happen, and a call — not an email — whenever something needs a decision.

Can you also sell my investment property later?

Yes — sales and management under one roof means we handle tenant notice, investor buyers and settlement timing in one conversation.

What does the management fee cover?

The day-to-day running of your property: general enquiries, rent collection, breach and termination notices, tenant maintenance, monthly trust accounting and statements.

What is a property condition report?

A legal requirement at the start of every tenancy: a detailed, photographic record of the condition of the property, given to the tenant at move-in. It protects you and the property when the tenants move out.
