LANDLORD SERVICES
Charta Property Group have over 25 years of experience in the management of properties and are well equipped to handle anything that comes our way. You name it, we’ve probably dealt with it.
We’ve helped a lot of people to start and grow their property investment portfolios and understand how to create wealth through careful management and maintenance of investment properties. Buying an investment property can be hard enough, but many people find the most difficult part is actually managing the property and the tenants. When you have an investment property, you’ll be happy to know that our owners enjoy an almost 100% tenancy 12 months of the year with less than 1% of our properties ending up at the Tenancy Tribunal. We make sure your property has quality tenants, who look after it and pay their rent.
Charta Management Ltd. take care of pretty much everything, allowing you, to treat your investment property as a business and not get caught up in the menial, day to day tasks.
Our Services include:
- Advertising and marketing of your property
- Rigorous selection criteria of tenants
- Entry, Exit and routine inspections
- Properties maintained by Charta approved contractors and maintenance staff
- Tenancy Tribunal hearings (if and when required)
- Rental arrears
- OWNER PORTAL – As an added service to our clients we have added an owner portal to the website. Access up to date statements and send messages. You’ll find the portal at bottom of the website page.
TENANT SERVICES
We value our tenants and work to maintain a respectful, professional relationship with everyone.
