How to choose a property manager in Hamilton.
Put the same questions to every manager and compare the answers side by side. The cheapest percentage is not always the cheapest year.
| Compare | Why it matters | Latus |
|---|---|---|
| The fee in dollars for a year | Add the management fee, any letting fee and GST. A lower percentage with a letting fee on top can cost more | 7.75% plus GST, letting included. $2,256.80 a year plus GST at $560 a week |
| What costs extra | Inspections, Tribunal attendance, advertising, and any markup on repairs | Nothing in our fee. Repairs at cost |
| Who you will deal with | One named person who knows your home, or a team that changes | A named property manager, from the first call |
| How often the home is inspected | And whether you get a written report each time | Every three months, with a written report |
| Where the rent is held | It should sit in a separate client account that holds only owners' money | A separate client account |
| How you leave | The notice period, any minimum term, and any fee for leaving | 30 days' notice either way |
| Recent reviews | Read the last few months of Google reviews from owners, not only the star rating | We ask every owner for an honest review, good or bad |
Questions to ask before you sign.
- What will I pay in a year, in dollars, at my rent?
- Who looks after my home day to day, and how many homes do they look after?
- How fast do you reply, to me and to the tenant?
- What happens with an urgent repair at night?
- How do you choose a tenant, and do I get the final say?
- How do I leave if it is not working?
Signs to slow down.
- The fee is only given as a percentage, never in dollars
- A long minimum term, or a fee to leave
- Nobody can tell you who will manage your home
- A markup on repairs, or a fee for every inspection
- Inspection reports are not offered in writing

What owners ask.
