If you are comparing property managers in Wellington, the first question is usually about fees.
In 2026, most property management companies charge between 7% and 10% + GST of the weekly rent. Some also charge a letting fee (often one week’s rent + GST).
However, the percentage alone does not tell the full story.
Before signing, ask:
- Are inspections included?
- Is Tribunal attendance extra?
- Are there admin or advertising costs?
- Is GST included in the quoted rate?
A slightly higher fee may include better arrears management, stronger tenant screening, and proper compliance support.
When choosing a property manager, focus on value — not just price.
