Straight answers
Is there a catch? What does it cost?
The rental appraisal itself is free and there is no obligation to go any further. If you do decide to have the property managed, property management fees in New Zealand are usually charged as a percentage of the weekly rent (commonly around 7–9% plus GST), often with a letting fee when a new tenant is found. The Reforma team explains their exact fees upfront, so there are no surprises.
- Free, no-obligation rental appraisal.
- Clear, upfront fees if you choose management — nothing hidden.
- No pressure to list or switch managers.

The rules that affect your rent
A good appraisal also flags the practical obligations that come with renting a property in New Zealand:
- Healthy Homes Standards — all private rentals must meet minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and draught stopping.
- Rent reviews — rent on an existing tenancy can generally be increased once every 12 months.
- Pets — under current rules landlords can charge a pet bond of up to two weeks' rent, and blanket pet bans are no longer allowed.

Common questions
Rental appraisal FAQ
How much rent can I charge for my property in Auckland?
That is exactly what a rental appraisal answers. Achievable weekly rent depends on your location, property type, bedrooms and bathrooms, condition, parking and outdoor space, measured against comparable rentals and current demand. A current appraisal is far more reliable than an old figure or an online estimate.
What is the difference between a rental appraisal and a valuation?
A rental appraisal is a free estimate of the weekly rent your property is likely to achieve. A valuation is a formal, paid report from a registered valuer — usually for lending or legal purposes — that estimates capital value, not rent.
Is the rental appraisal free? Is there any obligation?
Yes, it is free and there is no obligation. You can find out where you stand without committing to list the property or sign up for management.
How soon will I hear back?
Once you send your details, Leanne makes sure your enquiry reaches the right Reforma property manager, and you will usually hear back within one business day.
Is the appraisal a guarantee of the rent I will get?
No. It is a well-informed, evidence-based estimate. The final rent depends on how the property presents, the season and tenant demand when it is advertised.
Can you appraise a property I am thinking of buying as an investment?
Yes. You can request a rent view before you buy, to weigh likely rent against the purchase price and yield. This is also where Leanne's sales perspective helps if you are comparing whether to buy, sell or hold.
Does my rental need to meet the Healthy Homes Standards?
Yes — all private rentals in New Zealand must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards. An appraisal is a good time to check where your property stands, and the Reforma team can guide you on what compliance involves.
Who completes the rental appraisal?
Leanne Stewart is a licensed real estate salesperson and your first point of contact. The rental assessment and property management follow-up are handled by the Harcourts Reforma property management team.
How often should I get my rental re-appraised?
It is worth reviewing the rent at least once a year, or whenever the market shifts or you make improvements. In New Zealand, rent on an existing tenancy can generally be increased once every 12 months, so an annual appraisal helps you stay in line with the market.
What details should I provide for a rental appraisal?
Share the property address, bedroom count, current rent if any, tenancy status, condition and any timing requirements. The more you provide, the sharper the rent range.
