Own an Dunedin rental property? Let us take over the hassle.
We provide a comprehensive wrap-around property management service. Our team offers everything from helping you find the right tenants to fixing any issues and collecting rent. We ensure all relevant reports and accounts are kept up to date, ensuring that you get the best results from your investment.
If you are a landlord, you already know that owning an investment property is a big responsibility. There is a lot to keep track of – from your finances to tenancy issues – and it isn't always easy to handle on your own. Compliance and maintenance can be challenging, and getting it wrong can be very expensive. Let us take over the hassle so you can get on with the things you'd rather be doing.
What makes Otago Flats different?
Our first point of difference is our routine inspections. Property managers generally conduct routine inspections at flats for insurance purposes, with most companies requiring these to occur every 3-4 months. Typically, property managers will enter the property, take a couple of photos and find out if any maintenance is required, spending around 15 minutes at the property.
We go a step further - viewing inspections as an excellent opportunity to minimise maintenance expenses for the owner and ensure properties are in good condition. We understand that minor issues can become significant issues should there not be correct maintenance measures in place. For each routine inspection, we invest at least an hour at the property doing cleaning and maintenance tasks, including cleaning kitchen facilities, removing mould, and checking for wear and tear. Completing these tasks reduces the exposure of maintenance expenses and keeps the property in optimal condition.
Otago Flats provides more than just property management.
We aim to make property investment ownership simple by centralising all services, including tenant screening, marketing, tenancy paperwork, rent collection, advice and maintenance. We provide a one-stop service for an end to end management of your investment properties. We pride ourselves on our access to high-quality, affordable trades. We are aligned with two local construction businesses, which allows us access to highly skilled trades at very reasonable prices. Unlike our competitors, we choose not to add any fees to maintenance invoices. As fellow property investors, Otago Flats number one goal is to help owners get the best return on investment possible.
