Rent your property with experts

For 20 years, we’ve been placing and managing well‑screened, quality tenants. We know our clients, we know the market, and we focus on one goal: helping you grow your wealth by maximising your return on investment.

Our rental process

Your agent will start by visiting your rental property to capture professional photographs, get to know the space and its surroundings, and highlight unique features for marketing. They’ll also guide you in setting a competitive, market‑related rental price.

Advertising your rental property

Your property deserves the spotlight, we list it across top portals like Private Property, Property24, MyProperty, and Etchells & Young to reach the widest audience.

Prospective tenants

Your agent will schedule viewings with carefully qualified prospective tenants. Before any viewing, they’ll ensure applicants are well‑suited to the property and meet the financial requirements for the agreed rental price.

Application process

Our applications department conduct; A full TPN (Tenant Profile Network) report,an extensive affordability check, a telephonic previous landlord reference and employment confirmation. They are highly experienced in detecting fraudulent applications.

Signing the lease

Your agent will coordinate the signing of the lease agreement and any negotiations between yourself and the tenant. Our legally compliant lease agreement is drafted with the best interests of the landlord at heart.

Deposit collection

We collect the deposit and first month’s rent on your behalf before the tenant takes occupation. Should you choose our rental management option, we will keep the tenants deposit in an interest bearing trust account for the duration of the lease and any renewal period after that.

Entry inspection

Upon occupation, your agent will facilitate the key handover and conduct a thorough entry inspection which is kept on record. If we manage your property we will arrange and coordinate any maintenance during the lease period and for any renewal period after that.

Exit inspection

Once your current tenant has vacated, your agent will do a thorough exit inspection. The entry and exit inspections will be compared against each other and any repairs that need to be done as a result of damage done by the tenant will be deducted from their deposit.
