Rental Appraisal

What We Can Offer

Managing a rental property involves much more than finding a tenant. At Ray White New Era Property Management, we provide a complete property management service to take care of the everyday details of your rental property.

If you only need help finding and securing a tenant, we can also assist with one-off leasing. You can choose how involved you want to be, while our property manager handles the areas you would prefer to leave to us.

We believe strong relationships with both landlords and tenants are an important part of good property management. Clear communication and reliable service help us look after your rental property while keeping your interests at the forefront.

Our Property Management Services Include:

• Professional advertising and marketing of your rental property across relevant online channels
• Local rental market knowledge and strong property exposure
• Tenant applications, screening, reference checks and suitable background checks
• Assistance with tenancy arrangements and rental negotiations
• Reviewing rental pricing to help position your property appropriately in the market
• Explaining key tenancy information and providing clear documentation
• Regular property inspections and end-of-tenancy inspections, with reports provided to landlords
• Rent collection and monitoring of outstanding payments
• Regular payments to your nominated account
• Clear income and expenditure reporting
• Coordinating maintenance, repairs and trades when required
• Responding to tenant questions and rental property enquiries on your behalf

What informs the appraisal?

Tell us the address, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, condition and any work planned before letting. We can then discuss current comparable rental evidence and how features and presentation affect the likely rental range. Asking rents are one reference point and do not guarantee an achieved rent.

Use local rent figures carefully

For context, Tenancy Services recorded a median of $565 per week for three-bedroom houses in Mairehau across 258 active bonds for 1 March to 31 August 2026. This is a dated area-wide reference, not a quote or a rental appraisal for your property. The tool updates monthly; select the relevant suburb, property type and bedrooms, and check the reporting period and number of bonds.

Compare that context with the condition, layout, heating, parking and current competing homes. Advertised asking rents and bond-based figures measure different things. Ask your property manager to explain which comparisons support the proposed range and what the home may need before it is let.

Reviewing the rent during a tenancy

An appraisal is evidence for a discussion, not an automatic rent increase. For ordinary residential tenancies, increases generally cannot take effect within 12 months of the tenancy starting or the last increase, and at least 60 days’ written notice is required. A fixed-term agreement must also allow an increase. Exceptions can apply, so check the actual agreement and current Tenancy Services guidance before acting.

Agree the management arrangement

An appraisal is separate from appointing a property manager. Before signing, review the written management agreement, inclusions, fees and additional charges, inspection and reporting arrangements, owner payments and repair authority. If you are moving from another manager, read how to start the changeover conversation.
