Extra Services

At Moore Rentals, we realise that no rental property, or property owner, is the same, but we want to make things as easy and carefree as possible for all of our clients. We promise to always try our best to fulfil any requests or needs that you may have. When Moore Rentals manages your rental property, we alter our service to fit your needs. Instead of a rigid approach, we operate in an adaptable and flexible manner, whilst still maintaining professionalism. We do this by modifying our management service structure to suit your interests. Here at Moore Rentals, we understand the importance of change, development, and growth. We want you to be 100% satisfied with our property management service.

We work with you on your terms and give you the option to be involved as much as you like. Some owners like to just receive the rent payments and leave the rest to us. Others like to be fully informed of all changes and like to be fully involved in all decision making. Moore Rentals is entirely flexible.

Are Property Managers Essential?

We often hear of owners wanting to leave the property market. This is usually because of their bad experience self-managing, stricter regulations, or because of their experience with an incompetent property manager. We encourage owners in this situation to give Moore Rentals a try. It is our mission to make sure you love owning rental property.  We want to give you an enjoyable and profitable experience. Moore Rentals does not want to just be an underwhelming, money maintenance service provider.

Moreover, during the last few years, property management and rental property ownership obligations have undergone significant transformation. There is currently a stronger need for property managers. Now, more than ever, when you have a property manager, they need to be professional, skilled, experienced, and equipped to meet shifting demand. If you require the services of a rental property manager, it is essential that you choose a company you can wholeheartedly trust.

Moore Rentals has drawn up over 1500 tenancy agreements since establishment in 2010. Our property managers know how to substantially screen and moderate applications and our experience helps to mitigate your risk, in this worrying part of the process. With us, your rental property will have the best-suited tenants our property managers can find. We have a rigid and comprehensive screening process, which all prospective tenants must submit to when they apply. Moore Rentals can conduct credit checks, reference checks, and social media checks. Alongside this, we can also conduct police checks if you or we deem necessary. However, these can take up to three weeks to come through. 

Selecting the right property managers

Selecting the right property management organisation is one of the most fundamental decisions you will make. The decision can make a difference not only to your overall return but also to the enjoyment of your investment.

The property manager selection process requires you to thoughtfully make a decision. This is because, that decision usually creates a medium- to long-term working relationship. You need to feel comfortable with your selection, as the relationship needs to be transparent and communicative. Rest assured, when you choose Moore Rentals, you will be joining hundreds of happy New Zealand property owners, who have put their faith and confidence in us to professionally manage their property.

Changing property managers? We can help!

Moore Rentals can help by making the property manager switching transition easier. We can do this by contacting your current property manager on your behalf and perform a change of management authority for you. This means less work for you and an easy transition.

No property management company operates in the same way, nor do they all have the same quality of service. We ask you to highly consider Moore Rentals as the organisation you would like to work with because we guarantee that we will do our utmost best to satisfy your needs. 

Self-management? Sure, our property managers can still help!

If you think self-management is what you want to do, we may still be able to help. We offer a casual letting service, which means we can still help you find tenants, but you miss out on our management benefits. Moore Rentals will still conduct our thorough screening process and, market, advertise, promote, and show potential candidates through your home. Then after a suitable tenant is found, we can type up a tenancy agreement for you, collect monies, lodge bonds, and then leave you alone. Self-managing a rental property can be exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding. 

However, on the flip side, self-managing can often be a nightmare, which requires a lot of work for many landlords. We will make sure your rent is collected, deal with disputes, complications, and the overall day-to-day operations and running of your investment property. Current media information suggests that it is increasingly difficult to own and manage a rental property independently. The obligations and restrictions imposed on owners are now very acute. Expectations, regulations, and obligations are ever-increasing, which is why it is imperative, now, more than ever, to have a professional body, look after your home.

Moreover, if you are not consistently and actively keeping up-to-date with new information, you can be met with some shocking and unpleasant surprises. Often times when self-managing, the cost outweighs the benefit, one small error, can sometimes become a costly mistake. Other than financial costs, having a professional body look after your rental property, will also reduce your personal time consumption and stress. Having a property manager will free up your time, so you can focus on the things you love. You can depend on Moore Rentals to fulfil your vision!

Property Inspections

One of our experienced property managers will complete your inspections

At Moore Rentals we understand the importance of thorough, comprehensive and frequent inspections, we do not do the bare minimum. We know proficient, timely, free-from-error inspections are a high priority to you as the owner. At Moore Rentals, we conduct three types of inspections: pre-tenancy inspections, routine inspections, and final inspections.

Pre-tenancy property inspection

During a pre-tenancy inspection, we will go through your rental property and usually take in excess of 800 images. We create a photographic portfolio and complete a form, which outlines the property’s interior and exterior details and condition. We do this as a safeguard, to protect your property, in the case of any future disputes that arise from damages or other e.g. crack in a tile.

Routine property inspection

These are periodic inspections, which each property undergoes up to four times per year. During a routine inspection, we will enter the property after giving notice to the tenant and inspect for any damage, maintenance issues, or any activity that is not approved. Our agent will check every room, corner, nook, and cranny that we legally can, to ensure your property is being taken care of and respected in the way it should. We always complete an inspection form and we take photos when necessary, as long as it does not invade tenants’ privacy.

Final property inspection

At the end of the tenancy, a thorough inspection is always performed. This is paramount, as the bond release is often dependent on the state in which your rental property is left. If ever your property is left not meeting the standard, then we would use the bond to rectify any works that need to be completed e.g. cleaning.

Rent

One of the most stressful things rental property owners have to worry about is rent collection. We understand that property owners have different needs, and bills to be paid. Our agents are constantly making sure tenants do not get behind because we do not tolerate or appreciate a tenancy agreement being broken.

Establishing rental rates

We work with you to establish a rental rate that is profitable, fair and marketable. If your property’s rent is established incorrectly (too high or too low), you can unnecessarily miss out on rental income. When priced too high, a loss of a week’s or more worth of rent, can take a long time to recover for a few extra dollars. If it is priced too low, then you cannot implement a price increase for at least one year. At Moore Rentals, we try to establish the optimal rate, where your property can flourish at equilibrium. Our collective years of experience, and understanding of marketing and finances, will help your investment property be stable and profitable. Invest in us to invest in you! With us you can always set a rent price that you wish to achieve.

Our Business Management Structure

At Moore Rentals, we operate on a horizontal based management structure. This means we have a minimal hierarchy in our workplace. Your viewings, inspections, correspondence and finances are not spread thinly across lots of different people. Part of our workplace culture here at Moore Rentals is that we are all equal; we all do the same job. You can contact any member of our professional team at any time and you can choose who you deal with. We have established a cohesive, efficient and positive work environment. This increases productivity and creates a superior, effective, and pleasant property manager service for you.

Finally…

At Moore Rentals, we put heart, soul, and love into our work and we get excited about new challenges. Our comprehensive property management plan is always flexible to your needs. We understand that owners have various demands, so we do our best to amalgamate those with our knowledge and experience.

Moore Rentals will free up your time, obtain your rent, liaise between parties, and monitor the care of your property. This means we can help reduce the stress of day-to-day property management. With us, you will be able to watch your investment flourish, as we weed the garden and you pick the flowers.

At Moore Rentals your satisfaction and happiness are our number one priority. We know that without all of our happy customers, we would not be as successful as we are today. We look forward to hearing from you.
