This may have been asked before but I can't seem to find it.
I have approach a few Pm in the local area to compare fees and they vary. But what I wanted to confirm was:
- initial letting fee from 0 to 1/2 to 1 wk rent with or w/o gst. Up to you to negotiate
- mgmt fee - dependent on where you are. Sydney centre its5.5%
- re-letting - never pay if re-let to same tenants or if PM does find new 1
- inspection fees. Nil.
- photos? Do you get this for all issues? FreE? Some are askin to pay
- attending tribunal - fair to pay for this additional work and it can be time consuming (or am I too soft?)
- preparing for tribunal - some charge and some pm don't?
- tra/ tric checks. Surely this must be free! Not up to $5.5/check?
- statement fees/ nth admin - $5.5p/m?? Isn't this part of mgmt fee?
- EOY statement - $22+. Not too sure of work effort but this should be covered in fees.
- tenancy agreement prep fee - &18. Standard
- advertising - is this not covered in the letting fee?
- on going relationship - priceless
of course there are plenty of arguments of other intangible things but this thread is to ask about common fees and all the little details which raises that little 5.5% mgmt fee to ?? My ip is a unit and in dense populated area.
Would like to know ppls experience. Thanks
