Propertyscouts Invercargill

Choosing a property manager is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a landlord. Here's what we reckon you should look for 👇

1️⃣ Local knowledge - someone who knows your suburb, the rental market, and the tenant pool
2️⃣ Transparent fees - no sneaky charges for arranging maintenance or inspections
3️⃣ Communication - do they keep you in the loop, or do you have to chase them?
4️⃣ Compliance expertise - NZ tenancy law is complex; you need someone who's across it
5️⃣ A great track record - check their Google reviews and ask for references

At Propertyscouts, we tick all of these boxes - We are personally invested, and backed by nationwide systems and support.

Getting your bond back doesn't have to be a drama. Here are our top tips to make sure you walk away with every cent. 💰

🧹 Clean thoroughly - including oven, range hood, windows and tracks

📸 Document everything - take timestamped photos when you leave

🌿 Tidy the garden and sections to the standard you received it

🔧 Fix minor damage you're responsible for (think nail holes, scuffs)

📋 Request a pre-inspection - this gives you time to address anything before the final one

Remember: Fair wear and tear is expected and is NOT something you can be charged for.
