The experienced property management team at Barfoot and Thompson’s Howick branch is dedicated to ensuring compliance and peace of mind for landlords amidst tightening rental regulations.
As the rental industry continues to evolve, landlords are facing increasing pressures to comply with new legislation, particularly the Healthy Homes Standards.
These regulations are designed to ensure rental properties meet specific health and safety requirements. The consequences for non-compliance can be severe.
With hefty fines and potential disciplinary actions from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, landlords are more accountable than ever.
Our property management service takes pride in offering a comprehensive package designed to protect landlords from these risks.
Barfoot and Thompson Howick’s head of property management, Kun Lu, says: “We always look after the landlord and work to find the most suitable tenant, so there’s no compromise.
“Each of our staff only manages about 90 properties. Most other competitors’ staff manage about 140, so we spend more time on each property and tenant.
“For us it’s not about quantity, it’s about the quality of our service.”
We ensure your property meets all current regulations and provide you with peace of mind.
Our services include:
Quarterly inspections: We conduct four inspections per year, providing you with detailed reports with photos. These reports are crucial for maintaining your insurance policy.
Financial statements: Monthly statements and end-of-year financial summaries make your accounting process seamless.
Annual rent reviews: We ensure your rental rates are competitive and aligned with the market.
Rent collection: We monitor rent payments closely, with immediate follow-up if payments are delayed by a single day.
Legal support: We handle all court-related work if needed.
Water rates management: We manage water rate payments and invoicing on your behalf.
Maintenance services: We have a network of reliable, cost-effective contractors available for maintenance needs, or we can co-ordinate with your preferred service providers.
Tenant screening: Our thorough tenant screening process includes background, reference, previous landlord, and credit checks to ensure we find the best tenants for your property.
We’re committed to providing you with the highest level of service, ensuring your property is compliant, well-maintained, and financially sound.
