Pricing

How are we able to keep our fees so affordable and transparent?

We’re the only independent firm in Warkworth, so we don’t have to share a large portion of your fee with a head office. This allows us to offer our exceptional service at the best price. It’s a simple equation that we love.

Feature	Our Fee	The Others
Management Fee ?Fee/commission that the property manager will deduct from the rent collected prior to disbursing to landlord.	8%+GST of rent collected	8-10%+GST of rent collected
Letting Fee ?Covers the Property Manager’s time to list, show and set up a property for tenancy.	Included	Industry average of 1 week’s rent
Advertising Fee ?The cost of using advertising domains (TradeMe etc) and other forms of advertising like billboards.	Included	$150-$300+
Photography ?Wherever possible we use a local professional photographer to showcase your property and add 2D floorplans as standard.	Included	Up to $385
Routine Inspection Fee ?To inspect your property and report as required (typically quarterly) to comply with your insurance obligations.	Included	$35-$55
Maintenance Fee ?A fee for property manager labour, as a percentage of the invoice, will be added on top. However, Kōwhai Coast Property Management will arrange, organise, and finalise maintenance with detailed, best-in-class work orders at no extra charge.	Included	8.5-10% of invoice paid
Credit Checks for New Tenants ?Cost to use third-party credit check companies such as Centrix.	Included	$5-$35 per tenant
Tenancy Tribunal Fee ?We believe this will not occur with Kōwhai Coast Property Management; however, in the worst case, landlords with us can rest assured that we will not add any extra costs in what is already a stressful situation.	Included	$20.44-$150
Monthly Admin Fee or EOY Statement ?Sharing detailed financial reports and statements to pass onto your accountant.	Included	$5-$35

Why don’t we charge extras on top of the fee?

Simple. You pay us a set fee to do our job. We don’t charge on top of that fee to carry out our tasks.
