Highgate Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Highgate is a City of Unley suburb built around family life. In 2021 the Census counted 69.6% of its occupied homes as separate houses; 51.8% of families were couples raising children, and tenants lived in 22.9% of homes. Renters here tend to be after much the same as the owners next door: bedrooms, a back garden and a short school run.

That shapes your return. A family tenancy that lasts several years spares you the cost and the dead weeks of re-letting, so prompt repairs and fair reviews matter. Axiom Realty looks after rentals in every corner of Greater Adelaide; a short drive away, our managers have let houses in Fullarton as well as Unley Park.

Caring for Highgate’s Older Homes and Units

Period houses, unit groups and approvals

F.J. Botting laid the suburb out in 1881 as Highgate-on-the-Hill, on land George White had planted as a vineyard, and named it after the English town of his birth; the longer name had dropped out of use by 1920. Bigger homes are common, with 35.0% of dwellings having four or more bedrooms in 2021, against 25.7% statewide.

An older house needs a plan as much as a tenant. We keep watch on rising damp, cracked walls, roof and gutter wear and tired wiring, and we come through four times a year on routine inspection, photographing as we go, so that a big job lands in your budget early.

Flats and apartments were 13.8% of homes and semis or townhouses 17.8%. If yours is strata or community titled, we raise common-area faults with the corporation’s manager, give every tenant the by-laws at sign-up and settle levies from the rent, adding no admin surcharge.

Knocking down, or changing a façade, can be treated as development by the Planning and Design Code, so run the address through PlanSA early. Where a job we arrange might need planning approval, you hear about it first. Our full landlord offer is laid out under residential property management.

Highgate’s Tenant Market

Families, professionals and schools

Residents are highly qualified. Professionals held 41.2% of local jobs in 2021 and managers 16.4%, with hospitals, higher education and legal services among the main industries, and 49.9% of people aged 15 and over had a bachelor degree or above.

Schools steer much of the demand. Highgate School on Hampstead Avenue has been teaching since 1923, and Concordia College, a Lutheran school, runs two of its campuses in the suburb. Residents aged 10 to 19 made up 14.8% of the population, compared with about 11.5% for the state, so a layout with room for teenagers appeals to many renting families.

Working from home is common too: 13.1% did so on Census day, and 3.9% cycled to work. A study, heating and cooling that keep up and secure storage all help a lease along. We check the rent against comparable leases, pay you out twice a week and every statement waits for you in your PropertyMe owner login, day or night.

Our property management service also takes in Fullarton, Unley Park, Malvern, Myrtle Bank and Parkside.
