Blackwood Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Blackwood has a small rental market by South Australian standards. Of its occupied homes in 2021, just 14.8% were rented, a little over half the state figure of 27.6%. Another 42.2% were owned outright. Four in five dwellings were separate houses, many of them with four or more bedrooms.

Because rentals are scarce here, a hills family home in good order tends to draw a strong field of applicants, and the tenants who sign often stay for years. Axiom Realty looks after rentals across the southern suburbs and the foothills, and our leasing results nearby include neighbouring Panorama.

Looking After a Blackwood Rental

Hills houses, units and the upkeep they need

Blackwood is a City of Mitcham suburb in the Adelaide Hills, and the setting shapes the maintenance. Sloping blocks, retaining walls, big trees and long driveways all need watching. Gutters fill quickly under eucalypts, stormwater has to get away from the house on a hillside, and a garden left for a season soon looks neglected. We visit for a routine inspection four times a year and photograph the grounds as well as the rooms, so the report shows you the whole block.

Separate houses were 80.0% of Blackwood’s homes at the 2021 Census, and 30.8% had four or more bedrooms. Flats and apartments made up 15.3%, more than twice the state share. If your unit is part of a strata or community scheme, we go through the corporation’s manager, refer common-property repairs to them and give the tenant the scheme’s by-laws on day one. We settle levies, council rates and SA Water from the rent and charge no admin surcharge for doing it.

Hills properties can be affected by overlays in the Planning and Design Code, including bushfire hazard overlays where they apply. Before you add a deck, a shed or new fencing, look the address up on PlanSA. Should a job look like it needs approval, we say so before a trade is engaged. Our wider approach is on the residential property management page.

Who Rents in Blackwood

Families, professionals and a train line to the city

Families set the tone. Couples with children were 43.8% of Blackwood’s families in 2021 and couples without children 41.2%, and the average household held 2.4 people. Professionals made up 37.8% of employed residents, well above the 21.5% statewide, and the biggest employers of locals were hospitals, then higher education.

Blackwood railway station, on the line between the city and Belair, doubles as a bus interchange, and on Census day 4.2% of Blackwood’s workers commuted by train, where the statewide figure was 0.6%. Another 15.7% worked from home. For these tenants, a study nook, good heating for hills winters, secure parking and an easy walk to the station all count. A family settled in a good school area is slow to move, and a long stay means fewer re-letting costs for you.

Axiom’s property management service also covers nearby Eden Hills, Belair, Glenalta, Hawthorndene and Panorama. If you live outside South Australia, read about our interstate landlord service.

Common Blackwood Property Management FAQs

Have a Question?

Less than across the state as a whole. The 2021 Census recorded 14.8% of Blackwood’s homes as rented, against 27.6% for the state. A sound family house tends to attract plenty of interest, though tenants will still compare its condition and rent with the few others on offer.

Gutters, drainage and trees. Hills blocks shed a lot of leaf litter, and water needs a clear path away from the house. Retaining walls and decks deserve a look at each inspection. We report on all of them and can arrange quotes from our tradespeople.

They can. Hills properties may sit under overlays in the Planning and Design Code, bushfire hazard overlays among them, which shape what you are allowed to build. Check your address on PlanSA to see which apply. Clear gutters and trimmed vegetation before summer make sense on any hills block, and every inspection report covers the garden and gutters.

Two rent payouts go to your account each week. Statements, invoices and inspection reports are filed in the PropertyMe owner portal, available around the clock.

We keep our pricing simple and transparent: an all-inclusive management fee with no admin charges or hidden extras. We’ll give you a written quote for your property, with every cost set out before you sign.
