Common questions

Property management Auckland FAQ

How much do property managers charge in Auckland?

Fees are usually a percentage of the weekly rent collected — commonly around 7 to 9 percent 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.

What is included in the management fee?

Typically advertising and letting, tenant screening and selection, rent collection and arrears management, routine inspections, coordinating maintenance and financial reporting. The Reforma team can confirm exactly what their service covers.

How long does it take to find a tenant?

It depends on the property, rent and season, but a well-presented, well-priced home in a sought-after Auckland suburb often leases within a couple of weeks. Pricing the rent right from the start is the biggest factor — which is what the appraisal is for.

How are tenants screened and selected?

Applications are assessed using references, tenancy history, identity and income checks and credit checks, then suitable applicants are discussed with you before a tenancy is offered.

Does my rental need to meet the Healthy Homes Standards?

Yes — all private rentals in New Zealand must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping. The Reforma team can guide you on assessing and meeting compliance.

Can I switch from self-managing or from another manager?

Yes. Many owners move to Reforma from self-management or another company. Start with a free rental appraisal and a conversation, and the team can explain how a handover works.

Does Leanne personally manage rental properties?

No. Leanne is a licensed real estate salesperson and your first point of contact. Rental and property management enquiries are connected with the Harcourts Reforma property management team.

Can I compare selling with renting?

Yes. That is where Leanne's sales perspective is useful. She can help with the sale-value side while the rental appraisal is directed to property management.
