Owner Services - Put your investment in safe hands

At Hocking Stuart we understand that a residential property is a significant asset and that as an owner your principal objective is to maximise the return on your investment, both in terms of rental income and capital appreciation.

Overseeing every aspect of your rental property will be a dedicated Property Manager with expert knowledge of your local area, purpose trained and fully conversant with the Residential Tenancies Act and changes to legislation.

Early Alert

Early Alert, our online property match system, offers tenants an easy and convenient way to find a new rental property.

For landlords, Early Alert is a valuable tool to help ensure minimal vacancy time. In fact, because prospective tenants are told about your property even before it becomes available, you may experience no loss of rental income at all. Early Alert is also useful to help find the tenant best suited to your property.

Marketing Campaign

With your approval, we'll develop a cost-effective, professional marketing campaign using the advertising media at our disposal to make sure we attract as many potential tenants for your property as possible.

Components of the campaign may include the internet, where we will advertise your property on hockingstuart.com.au, realestate.com.au, domain.com.au and realestateview.com.au - the four most visited sites for real estate. It may also include listings in our colour brochure (including photographs and a detailed description), press advertising in daily or local newspapers, and a lease board to attract passing traffic.

Tenant Selection

We maintain exceptionally high standards when it comes to selecting tenants to recommend to you. Stringent checks are conducted through nationwide databases and all previous rental, business and personal references are verified and employment details confirmed.

We understand the importance of completing the appropriate documentation for our clients' property and prepare lease agreements tailored to individual's needs, complete a detailed condition report and use the standard Residential Tenancy Bond Lodgement form.

Rental Payment

We offer a number of rent payment methods for tenants, such as electronic payments, by credit card or in person.Rental income is deposited directly into your nominated bank account. Should a rent payment become overdue we'll chase it up with reminder calls, written advice and SMS messages.

Inspections, Maintenance & Reviews

Routine inspections are carried out at six-monthly intervals to ensure the tenant is maintaining the property and to check if any maintenance is required. We'll advise you immediately of any maintenance or repairs required. Any necessary work is carried out by Hocking Stuart approved trades people within the cost limit you have authorised.

Your Property Manager will conduct regular rent reviews and discuss the renewal of lease with you.
