Finding a new tenant
In New Zealand, marketing a commercial lease is licensed real estate work, according to the Real Estate Authority. So when a unit comes empty, a licensed agent finds the tenant, and we handle everything around it: the brief, access for viewings, the lease paperwork with your lawyer, and the handover. The agent's leasing fee is usually one to two months' gross rent, from AssetPro.
The fee is 7% of the rent we collect, plus GST. On a unit renting for $60,000 a year that is $4,200 plus GST, or $4,830 including GST. Every fee is on the commercial fees page.

The earthquake prone building reform passed Parliament in September 2026. It removes Auckland, Northland and the Chatham Islands from the earthquake prone building system altogether, according to Property Council New Zealand. That takes away a cost and a deadline many West Auckland owners were facing.
It does not stop lenders, insurers or tenants asking about a building's seismic rating. Keep any assessment you have with the building's records, and we keep it on file with the lease.
What West Auckland owners ask.
Yes. We take on industrial, commercial and mixed use properties across West Auckland, including Henderson, Te Atatū, Glendene, Kelston, New Lynn, Glen Eden, Massey, Hobsonville, Whenuapai and Swanson.
7% of the rent we collect, plus GST, with no minimum fee. On a unit renting for $60,000 a year that is $4,200 plus GST. See commercial property management fees.
Under most commercial leases the management fee is an outgoing, so the tenant pays it back to the owner. Your lease lists exactly which costs count. See outgoings explained.
Mostly. Waitākere City was the council for most of West Auckland from 1989 until 2010, when it became part of Auckland Council. Many owners and tenants still call the area Waitākere.
The earthquake prone building reform passed in September 2026 removes Auckland from the earthquake prone building system, according to Property Council New Zealand. Lenders, insurers and some tenants may still ask about a building's seismic rating, so keep any assessment you have.
A licensed real estate agent does, because marketing a commercial lease is licensed work in New Zealand. We handle everything around it and keep managing once the lease is signed.
