A rental appraisal by a Property Management agency is often required by your bank or mortgage broker, to ensure the rental income is sufficient to cover your lending and other costs. You may also want an appraisal when considering a new investment purchase, to see if income will cover your costs. Most investors will have a ROI formula (return on investment) when weighing up a property purchase.
To carry out a full appraisal we take into account all the above factors, along with assessing the property against other similar homes we manage, and knowing what features tenants are currently looking for. The time of year, immigration numbers, and employment stats all affect current market rents.
If you would like an updated rental appraisal on your property, please phone the Ruby Housing office on 03-3795033 or email office@rubyhousing.co.nz, and I’ll get back to you very soon!

The first question many landlords have is what will my property rent for?
If you’ve been managing your own investments for a while you may not have looked at whether your rents are keeping up with the market. Private landlords will often leave rents as is, for fear of upsetting stable tenants.
However it is possible to maintain fair market rent and keep good tenants. Our 3 - step rent review process keeps your investment up to date with the market, while also keeping quality tenants in the property.
