Is Your Current Property Manager Costing You Money?

You ran the numbers before you bought. Poor management can undo them. Watch for these signs:

  • Your property is sitting vacant.
    The marketing isn’t working hard enough.
  • Rent is late and nobody’s chasing it.
    Arrears left unchecked become lost income.
  • Maintenance keeps getting put off.
    Small problems become expensive ones and wear down your property’s value.
  • Good tenants keep leaving.
    Slow responses and neglect push quality tenants out.
  • Are your tenants taking your property for granted?
    No one’s dealing with nasty tenants who don’t pay but aren’t evicted properly.
  • You’re always the one following up.
    You shouldn’t have to chase your own property manager..

New Build Property Management Specialists

Buying off the plan or handing over a brand-new build comes with its own risks. Without the right property managers, all the advantages of owning a new asset, like its pristine condition, fewer repairs, and higher rental appeal, can be lost to handover delays, defect disputes, and inexperienced management.

  • Is your handover inspection being handled properly? Missing defects at handover means you pay for the builder’s mistakes later. Our team catches these issues before you sign off.
  • Are defects and warranty claims falling through the cracks? A property manager unfamiliar with builder warranty periods lets rectification windows close before problems are fixed. We track every warranty period to ensure nothing is missed.
  • Is your new build sitting vacant while the market moves on? As specialists in property management, we market and tenant new builds from day one, not with a generic approach that treats them like any other listing.
  • Is your property manager liaising with the developer or builder on your behalf?
    Without someone chasing outstanding items, you’re left following up defects and completions yourself.
  • Are strata or estate requirements being managed correctly?
    New builds often come with body corporate rules and estate covenants that catch new landlords off guard.

Let our Brisbane property management experts protect your investment from handover onwards. Book your obligation-free consultation with our property managers.

  • See why Brendan changed property managers and saved thousands!

    “Awesome to deal with – highly recommended. We had our property managed by another agency that kept letting us down. We then changed to Affinity and wished we did so from the beginning. Affinity would have saved us $1000’s. We have mainly dealt with Jodie, Luanne and Kyle who have been amazing. Highly recommended. Save yourself time, stress and money. Get these guys to manage your property.”

  • The landlords were consistently experiencing poor communication with their previous property manager.
  • They advised that they were always having to chase things up (ie inspections, maintenance issues, reports, etc)
  • The owners lived overseas and needed an agent who could take care of everything and do it quickly.

Our fee structure is very simple and is comprised of. 

  1. Letting fees: If your rental property has no tenant, we will find a great tenant for you. This involves extensive advertising, marketing, showing your property to potential tenants, conducting tenant history checks, reference checks, signing up the tenant, and completing the tenant on-boarding process.
  2. Management fees: These property management fees cover ALL of our everyday property management general activities including routine inspections, entry & exit reports, receipting rent, arranging maintenance, lease renewals, handling tenant enquiries, etc. 
  3. Administration fees: This small fee is charged once a month to cover postage and petties, bank charges, and any other small fees we incur while managing your property.

You’ll receive a clear, itemised fee schedule for your property before you sign anything. Most landlords find our low arrears and fast leasing more than cover the cost.

Yes. We manage rental properties across Brisbane’s northside and the City of Moreton Bay, from Bald Hills and Brendale through to North Lakes, Narangba and Caboolture.

If your rental is anywhere in North Brisbane or Moreton Bay, our Petrie-based team is local to you.

A rental appraisal sets the right weekly rent for your property, based on current local demand, comparable rentals and your property’s features. Price it too low and you lose income; price it too high and it sits vacant. Many lenders also accept a rental appraisal for finance applications.

We check each applicant’s rental history, contact previous landlords and employers, and search national tenancy databases. We also meet every applicant in person at a viewing, and we never lease a property sight unseen.

We do not rent to anyone unless they have seen the property they intend to live in. We will always accompany them on this inspection and meet them-face-to-face. This way, we know them personally and they know what to expect in their rental experience. 

For more information about our tenant selection process, see our Best Practices for Tenant Screening & Selection. 

Every three to four months. Queensland law allows routine inspections at most once every three months. You’ll receive a photo report after each one.

Queensland rentals must meet minimum housing standards. They also need interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, safely secured blind and curtain cords, and water-efficient fittings if you charge tenants for water. On top of that, rules limit how often you can increase rent. We manage all of this for you.

QLD rental laws have changed frequently in recent years, covering everything from rent increases to entry notices and bond claims. Read our full Landlord Guide to QLD rental laws for a complete breakdown of what landlords need to know.

Sign an appointment with us, and we’ll give written notice to your current agent and manage the handover of keys, bond records and tenant files. Check your current agreement for its notice period
