Property Management is looking after properties for landlords and investors.  It is also looking after landlords and tenants.  Without good properties you cannot get good tenants and without good tenants you do not attract good landlords.  It’s knowing builders and plumbers and cleaners and any number of fix-it people.  We take all the hassles away.  We look after the properties.  You look after the big picture.

B & W Rentals specialise in residential, property rentals, letting and property management.  B & W Rentals is associated with B & W Real Estate Limited.

Finding tenants

It should go without saying that finding the right tenant for your rental property is one of the most important things we do as your property management professional.

Get the right tenant and you will have security and stability for your property investment.  So getting you the right tenant is important.

The first thing in finding good tenants is making sure that the right people know that your property is available.  We do this in number of ways:

Website Advertising

As you'll see on this website, we list all our properties for rent here. Most of our tenants come to us through knowing us.  Potential tenants know to come here regularly.

Email

We have a system that allows tenants to list their desired criteria for the home that they would like to rent.  When we list a property that matches their selection, we send them an email notifying them of the property.

'For Rent' Sign

It's a simple but very effective tool. When your property is listed with us we may place a B & W Rentals branded 'For Rent' sign outside your property.

Print Advertising

We advertise selected properties in the Taupo suburban newspapers. Though most tenants we find come to us through our website and from seeing the 'For Rent' signs.

We will find the right tenant for you.  We carefully screen tenants to ensure that your rental properties have good tenants and that you receive the maximum return on your investment.

Rent arrears

We have a zero tolerance of rent arrears.

It is part of every tenancy agreement that the rent is paid in full and on time.

To minimise error and delay we arrange that rent is collected via automatic payment into our trust account.  This lets us efficiently monitor that the rent has been paid and reduces the possibility of short or missed payments.

Looking for investment properties

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.
