AI summary

Property management fees in NZ typically range from 7-12% of your property's gross rental income. Be aware of potential extra charges for services like marketing, tenant placement, Healthy Homes assessments, and property inspections. Some companies also charge a percentage for organising maintenance.

Many firms offer two models: a lower rate with separate charges, or a higher, all-inclusive fee. While a significant expense, a good property manager can save you time and stress, making it a worthwhile investment.
