The Process
 
Our experienced Casual Letting Consultant will arrange to meet you at your rental property to assess the potential rental yield of the home.  We will also discuss with you the marketing options available to you and provide you our recommendations.
 
Allens rental properties are marketed through a range of online and print media - including Allens ‘For Rent’ signs, our in-house daily listing hand-outs, Allens.co.nz, PropertyPlus, and a range of national real estate websites including Realestate.co.nz and Trademe.co.nz  (If you’re not a customer of ours you could expect to pay  $69 alone for a casual ‘Fore Rent’ listing on TradeMe.) And when you list with us you also have access to exclusive industry only rental marketing opportunities.
 
Choosing the wrong tenants can result in rent loss, debt recovery costs, damage and repair costs, as well as time loss and stress.  We believe one of our greatest skills in property management is our ability to chose quality tenants.  We perform comprehensive checks on all prospective tenants (prior to them stepping foot on your property).  We do this by calling personal references, utilising our subscriptions to two of Australasia’s leading tenancy databases (one of which is endorsed by both the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand and New Zealand Property Investors Federation) and source information from the Tenancy Tribunal of New Zealand.  
 
Once we feel that the tenant is a suitable option for your home, our consultant will liaise with them - making a suitable time to show them though the home.  (If your property is currently tenanted, our consultant will liaise with all parties to arrange a viewing time.)  Once we have a suitable tenant wishing to rent your home we will notify you.  As the owner, you remain in total control and we will discuss the potential tenant with you (if you wish) prior to acceptance or entering into a tenancy agreement with them. We will also manage the process of letting other applicants know that they have been unsuccessful.
 
Once you’re satisfied we’ll arrange for successful applicants to come into our office to meet with us to draft, collate and authorise the tenancy agreement and particulars.  At this time we will also collect the bond and lodge it with the Department of Building and Housing (a legal requirement) on your behalf.  And can also help set-up an automated payment system between for your new tenant to help ensure your money is delivered to you on time every time.  Our Ray White Allens Property Management Consultant will then pass on to you the original documentation, in addition to some useful information for you to move forward with the effective management of your investment.
