Your estimate
Your property manager may be costing more than you think
Management fees are often only the starting point. Letting fees, lease renewals, inspections, admin charges and digital platform fees can significantly increase the annual cost.
Management fees
Ongoing percentage fees
A percentage of your rent may be charged every week, often with GST added on top.
Hidden add-ons
Extra charges add up
Letting, renewal, inspection, statement and app fees can increase your total annual cost.
Less control
More distance from decisions
Using an agent can mean less direct visibility over tenant communication, maintenance and property decisions.
