Kensington Park Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Kensington Park is mostly a suburb of family houses, and its rental market reflects that. At the 2021 Census, 68.3% of its homes were separate houses, 27.0% were rented and couples with children made up 45.8% of families. Townhouses and semi-detached homes accounted for another 25.5%.

As a landlord here, your demand comes from households that want bedrooms, a garden and a short trip to school, and those tenants often stay for years in a home that is well kept. Axiom Realty leases a house and another rental in Kensington Park, and two houses in neighbouring Beulah Park.

Looking After Houses and Townhouses in Kensington Park

Upkeep, strata and approvals

A family house on a Kensington Park block carries the costs of its land as well as the building: trees that fill the gutters, long fence lines, and stormwater that has to drain away from the footings. We visit for a routine inspection four times a year and send photos with every report, so problems surface before a wet winter turns them into an insurance claim.

About one home in four is a townhouse, semi or row home, and many of these sit in a strata or community scheme. We deal with the scheme’s manager for you, pass on any fault in the shared areas, hand your tenants the by-laws, and pay the levies from rent. Council rates and SA Water are paid from the rent the same way, with no admin surcharge.

Parts of the suburb have been settled for a long time. The Regal Theatre on Kensington Road, owned by the City of Burnside, has operated since 1925 and is heritage listed. Before any work that changes a façade, a fence line or a roof, check the address on the PlanSA Code viewer, as such changes can need development approval. We flag that possibility before a tradesperson is engaged. The full service is set out under residential property management.

Who Rents in Kensington Park

Families, professionals and what they look for

Kensington Park’s workforce leans toward professional and management roles. At the 2021 Census, professionals were 37.4% of employed residents and managers 15.8%. The biggest employing industry was hospitals, followed by cafés and restaurants and then schools teaching both primary and secondary years, which fits a suburb that is home to Pembroke School. On Census day, 13.7% worked from home and 6.1% took a bus.

Those tenants weigh up bedrooms, a study, storage, a secure yard and the trip along Kensington Road or Magill Road, and we price and present a rental here with those points in mind. A three- or four-bedroom house that gets them right tends to lease to a family who renews, and each renewal saves you a vacancy and another round of advertising.

Our management work reaches into the suburbs that border Kensington Park, among them Beulah Park, Kensington, Kensington Gardens, Leabrook and Firle. Rent reaches your account twice a week, and your statements sit in the PropertyMe owner portal at any hour.

Common Kensington Park Property Management FAQs

Have a Question?

It suits one. At the 2021 Census, family households were 69.1% of all households in Kensington Park, and 29.8% of homes had four or more bedrooms. Pembroke School has both its campuses in the suburb, so school-age families are a steady part of the tenant pool.

About one in four. At the 2021 Census, 27.0% of occupied homes were rented, almost level with the 27.6% recorded for South Australia as a whole, while 41.6% were owned outright. That is a much smaller share than in Kensington next door, so a well-presented house meets less direct competition. The asking rent still has to match what similar homes nearby lease for.

Yes. Townhouses, semis and row homes made up 25.5% of the suburb’s homes at the 2021 Census. We stay in touch with the strata or community manager, tell them about faults in shared areas, and make sure your tenants know the by-laws. We settle the levies out of rent and charge nothing extra to do it.

Begin with what keeps a tenant safe and comfortable: working smoke alarms, safe wiring, reliable hot water, climate control in the living areas and secure locks. Next come the garden, gutters and fences, which family tenants notice at the first viewing. We walk the house with you, rank the jobs by priority and get a quote from our tradespeople for each one.

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.
