Managing an investment property in Perth requires time, expertise and knowledge of tenancy legislation. Appointing a Time Conti Sheffield residental property manager is beneficial in handling tenant selection, inspections, rent collection and compliance, helping you maximise rental returns while protecting your property and reducing the stress of self-management.
Our proven screening processes are methodical and extremely thorough. Once a prospective tenant fills in an application form, we review all the information and conduct tenancy and reference checks. We also take the time to personally interview tenants during property viewings.
We aim for the best rent possible, taking into account current local market conditions including supply and demand and the type and condition of the particular property to keep vacancy rates as low as possible.
We conduct regular rent reviews to ensure that our rental rates are consistent with market conditions. We always contact clients well before critical dates to establish permission to increase the rent if necessary.
Payment is made by electronic funds transfer (EFT) into your nominated bank account monthly. Payments are accompanied by an email statement detailing all income and expenses for that period.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to rent arrears and have systematic processes in place to rectify the situation as soon as it happens. If a payment is missed, tenants are contacted on the first day that payments are late, and we adhere to a strict legal regime of breach notifications and termination proceedings if payments aren’t brought up to date. We are firm and fair and always aim to minimise any losses to the property owner.
The procedures for maintenance and repairs, including expenditure limits and communication requirements, are established with property owners upfront. We follow a set programme of routine inspections which help us to ensure your property is being maintained to an acceptable standard which help with early identification of any maintenance issues. Our property managers are able to handle all maintenance and repair requests using either our network of trusted service providers or your nominated tradespeople.
At the beginning of every tenancy, a Property Condition Report (PCR) is drawn up, detailing every aspect of the property’s condition. At the end of the tenancy, the PCR is used to determine whether the property was left in its original condition, less normal wear and tear. Our property managers then use this information to make deductions from the bond and collect further payment for additional damages if necessary.
We have built a reputation over 7 decades as one of the best property managers in Perth through integrity, professionalism and quality of service. Additionally, we place great importance on clear, open and regular communication with our clients. We establish your expectations upfront and you decide how often you would like to be contacted and what mode of contact you prefer. That said, our property managers are proactive and if there’s a situation that needs urgent attention, they will always be in touch with you.
Landlord insurance is not compulsory, but is strongly recommended. It can protect you against lost rent, malicious or accidental damage to the property or premature termination of the lease and can also include public liability and limited cover for contents. Many providers offer this cover and it is worth investigating several policy options before making a decision. If you would like recommendations on landlord insurance, Time Conti Sheffield is happy to assist.
