Get a free rental appraisal for your property
Whether you’re an experienced investor or a first-time landlord, understanding the correct rental value of your property is the most important step towards a successful tenancy. Setting the rent too high can lead to long, costly vacancies; setting it too low means you miss out on valuable returns. A professional rental appraisal gives you the insight you need to make a confident, informed decision.
What is a rental appraisal?
A rental appraisal is a detailed and accurate assessment of your property’s potential rental income in the current market. It is prepared by an experienced property manager who has deep knowledge of the local area. This is a complimentary, no-obligation service we provide to property owners to help them understand the potential of their investment.
How we determine the rental value of your Blockhouse Bay property
Our appraisals are not just based on a database estimate; they are a comprehensive analysis based on several key factors that quality tenants look for.
- Location: We assess your property’s proximity to the amenities that make Blockhouse Bay a desirable place to live, such as the village shops, local parks, and sought-after school zones like Blockhouse Bay Primary and Lynfield College.
- Property features: We look at the specifics of your home, including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, its overall condition, garaging, and outdoor space. In Blockhouse Bay, three-bedroom homes are consistently the most in-demand property type for renters.
- Current market data: We analyse what similar properties in Blockhouse Bay have recently been rented for. This gives us a powerful, data-driven benchmark. The current median rent in the area is around $728 per week, and understanding where your property sits in relation to this is key.
- Healthy Homes compliance: A property that is warm, dry, and fully compliant with New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards is not only a legal requirement but is also more attractive to high-quality tenants and can often achieve a premium rent.
