| 127 T T Kelly Deeks ‘Stress free’ property management Barbara and Colleen boast 40 years of property management experience between them. PROPERTY B&C Property Management Good landlords and good houses equal great tenants for Barbara Dean and Colleen Oldfield of B&C Property Management, who manage rental properties from Auckland to Otorohanga with all the knowledge, experience, and tools to make it easy on them and their valued landlords and tenants, and reliable tradespeople. Barbara and Colleen boast 40 years of property management experience between them and they pride themselves on their old-fashioned service and their provision of ‘stress free’ and ‘easy as’ property management services. Key to their success is their no-nonsense approach to the job, the relationships they build and maintain, and a high standard of communication which keeps both landlord and tenant informed of their rights and obligations every step of the way. B&C Property Management even operates the established New Zealand property management system MRI Palace Live that gives landlords online transparency where they can access their monthly statements, inspection reports, and correspondence online at any time. For time-poor rental property owners, keeping on top of changing regulations and required inspections can be a step too far. Being aligned with Tenancy Practice Services (TPS), B&C Property Management has an end-to-end solution that ensures each of their properties are compliant with Government regulations and amendments and each owner’s individual insurance policy provisions “We’re getting all of your boxes ticked and all of your compliance taken care of,” Barbara says. “Your property is safe, your rent is paid, and we’ve got a great understanding of rental properties that allows us to provide recommendations to our landlords about how to maximise their investment and reduce their costs.” Clear communication plays a huge part and Barbara and Colleen go above and beyond the call of duty. The new Healthy Homes standards are bringing some technology into rental properties which needs to be operated properly to be effective, so as well as providing a heat pump, Barbara and Colleen will also talk their tenants through and provide information in their welcome pack on how to use it efficiently. “Some of the Healthy Homes requirements are reasonable, some are a bit over the top,” Colleen says.“Some of our landlords are saying their rental properties have got more in them than their own homes! It’s always nice to have your rental homes up to standard, and it helps with securing quality tenants, however with everything provided, it does not always follow that it is going to be used by the tenant. Some see the heat pump as too expensive to turn on. We have shown and proved that by using the heat pump to dry the property and opening windows to air the property improves the air quality in their homes. Along with this, the heat pump can also be used as a dehumidifier overnight to eliminate condensation on their windows.” B&C Property Management’s extra mile service gives Barbara and Colleen an average tenancy of five years plus. “We have just vacated a tenant who has been in their unit for 50 years! Our tenants normally only move when they are leaving the area or buying a house, and when our tenants do vacate, we can often replace them with their own friends and family.” 027 765 6432 info@bcproperty.co.nz www.bcproperty.co.nz B&C Property Management Not happy with your current property manager?
