List a property
We are seeking quality 4 - 5 star properties. As Property Managers we act as accommodation brokers for your property which includes international advertising, screening, secure booking and deposits, and then collect the rental income on your behalf. The rental income is held in Trust until the rental period begins.
- You apply to advertise your property
- We work with you through the application including assistance with setting an appropriate rental, how long you are offering your property, special features etc
- When we have a party interested in your property, we liaise with you as to the type of guest you prefer and confirm your booking and take the deposit on your behalf. We collect all rental income and hold this in trust until nearer the rental period.
Not all houses will be listed on the website. Instead we work with the guests to ensure their specific requirements are met.
What’s in it for me?
A great way to get involved in the competition and to really be part of the Rugby World Cup at ground level!
We aim to market properties to be available for 3-6 weeks (although we will accept shorter term properties to suit the homeowners) so international guests can enjoy all the country has to offer from a home away from home.
How do I know my money is safe?
All rental monies will be held in Trust with the National Bank of New Zealand. It will require two signatories to transfer money and will be audited quarterly by Hayes Knight (NZ) Ltd.
How much can I get for my house?
We will work with you to set a nightly/weekly rate to suit the individuality of your property considering the number of occupants / bedrooms, location to main stadiums, airports etc.
Rental income will need to be declared on your tax return and we recommend you seek advice on this from a Chartered Accountant or the Inland Revenue Department direct.
What is required of me and my house?
The competition is next year. So a commitment to lease now requires serious thought. You will be contracted to lease your property- pending no major changes altering your ability to do so.
We will provide some recommendation as to how to prepare your property for the guests. These include the removal of valuable items and jewellry and whilst we don’t think it will be a problem, it is just safe practice. You will be required to advise your Insurance Company of your intentions to temporarily rent your property out.
Working smoke alarms and a Fire Extinguisher will be required and will be tested at inspection.
As part of the application process, we will require proof of ownership, to protect property owners from people renting out rental properties.
The property will need to be vacant 48 hours prior to the arrival of the guests. At the completion of the rental period, we ask for at least 48 hours to have cleaners ready the property for your return home.
What does it cost?
A $99 registration fee is charged on acceptance of a listing and must be paid prior to the proeprty being marketed on the website. We also charge a commision on the total rental payable which covers the administration of collecting the rental income, auditing of the Trust account and international collection charges, as well as the on-paying of rental incomes to you. We will send you a copy of our Terms and Conditions which details this when you register your property.
What now?
Complete an application form that can be filled in and sent back to us. This is obligation free on both parties but gets you registered and the process underway. Where possible your property will be inspected prior to listing although sometimes demand for certain properties means this is not always possible. Where a property is listed prior to an inspection, and for any reason we feel your property does not meet our specific criteria, then we reserve the right to remove a property and refund the $99 registration fee. The refusal of any property is at our sole discretion and can be made without reason being given,
