  • Our Rental Property Managers will act as a third party between the tenant and you the landlord.

    We will reduce the risk of owning an investment property and you won’t have to communicate with the tenant about late payments of rent, negotiating rental increases/lease renewals or follow up maintenance issues.

    By having our Rental Property Management team as your third party to negotiate on your behalf you will avoid conflict and unnecessary additional stress.

    • On your rental properties we offer professional photography to market your rental property.  This will provide the best possible exposure in the marketplace.
    • Your Rental Property Manager will schedule and attend all viewings with prospective tenants (unlike some agencies which let prospective tenants take the keys and view the property alone).
    • We offer Saturday open homes on selected properties to ensure that prospective tenants are able to view your property when it is convenient to them.
    • A 24 hour on call Duty Manager is available on the weekends to address emergencies that may arise at your rental property.
    • We have a tenant database for rental properties so we can match your property with an ideal tenant.

  • Investing in rental property

    If you are seeking to expand your property portfolio or if, perhaps, you wish to enter the rental market for the first time we are only too happy to help and advise.

    Here are a few things to think about if you are considering investing in a rental property.

    What are your goals?

    A longer term strategy including consistent property rental returns is more popular today than the focus on short turnaround, with a capital gain that was popular in the early 2000’s.  Capital gain is still possible, but this remains a riskier investment strategy.  There is no best practise - the key is to understand the positives and potential negatives of each strategy as you increase your portfolio.  You are more likely to reach the investment portfolio you want if you have a plan.

    What are my returns?

    There are a number of factors to consider.  Outgoings such as rates, insurance and maintenance as well as the income stream, traditionally rent and potential equity in your property.  We have some useful calculators that can serve as a guide.

    Where to get advice?

    Talk to Michele or Gemma at B & W Real Estate,  They will be able to keep you up to date on the current real estate market trends.  Talk to your bank and solicitor, earlier rather than later, so you can feel confident about your decision going forward.

    Managing your rental property

    You can manage your property yourself or engage B & W Rentals to do it for you.  Both can work well but the key question to ask yourself is which method will maximise your investment?  Don't forget to include the value of your time in the calculation.

    Owners login

    Whether you want information late at night, you’re based in a different timezone, or you simply want to save yourself a phone call – you can access your records online.  We have a website that allows owners to login and get up-to-date information including month-end and year-end statements, inspection reports and scanned invoices

    Owners can access month and year-end statements, scanned invoices and inspection reports. They can also submit a query to their property manager directly from their log in.  Tenants can view their ledger report.

    SMS Messaging

    We can also send messages to owners and tradespeople using our advanced management system.
