Whether a beginner to property investment in Sydney, or a knowledgeable semi-residential homeowner, you will have seen advertisements for a lot of private companies and individuals offering a property management services of some description. But who needs it?
The services provided by property management companies differ extensively. Some concentrate on finding you holiday and longer term occupants, while others focus solely on the care of you and your property. More unusually, specific companies have the ability to provide not only this but also a full after-sales service to your property purchase, helping you in getting your property up and running after completion and beyond.
One of the obvious benefits in working with a property management company is getting rid of the language barrier that can hit when you begin trying to arrange for things to be performed in Sydney. A prime example is arranging a telephone line– no mean task even if you’re multilingual. But also, things tend not to happen over night in Sydney and you can find yourself waiting in for this plumber and that electrician and wasting your important holiday time. You’ve striven to make your holiday– why waste it when you’re here?
Low cost airline– late night arrival?
So, you got a bargain on the flights– but you’re arriving at midnight! It seems a terrific idea up until something fails. The hot water heater has been shut off for weeks, your rental property or apartment is freezing cold (or unbearably hot) and no-one has scheduled the air con gas to be renewed. You need new light bulbs so that you can see what you’re doing and, obviously, there’s no milk for your early morning coffee! On a more serious note, maybe there have been unwanted visitors in the property– insect or rodent, or even human.
A great and trustworthy property management company will completely examine your apartment once a week and supply you with a detailed report recommending if any work needs to be carried out. Not only will they examine that the apartment is clean and secure, but they are also trained to look for signs of damp, problem and small building and construction problems. If work is needed, they will supply you with quotations and upon your approval, arrange for the work to be carried out under their supervision. You will get here in your ideal property prepared to enjoy your holiday.
Making life simpler for you
Airport pickups, welcome packs or grocery shopping are also offered from the majority of companies along with cleaning, laundry and ironing services. As a minimum, your property management company need to be able to examine that your apartment is clean and the beds are freshly made prior to your check out.
Produce an income
Those wishing to generate an income from their property can also benefit hugely from a credible company’s network of holiday and longer term rental customers. Not only can they market and maintain the property for you, but they can also vet customers and ensure that the apartment is looked after with due care and attention by those using it.
It also takes a great deal of the stress away when you invite good friends or family to use your property in your absence. Someone is offered 24/7 to fulfill and welcome them, make sure they have a secret, show them how to use your appliances and recommend them on where to go in the local area.
