Marden Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Marden is a renter’s suburb as much as an owner’s. At the 2021 Census, 41.7% of its occupied homes were rented, 37.7% of households were one person living alone, and townhouses, units and flats together outnumbered separate houses.

For a landlord, the typical Marden rental is a two-bedroom unit or townhouse, and it competes with plenty of similar homes close by. Price, condition and presentation decide how long it stays empty. Axiom Realty manages and leases homes across Greater Adelaide, and our property managers have leased houses in neighbouring Vale Park.

Managing Units and Townhouses in Marden

Strata groups, older stock and upkeep

Housing blocks south of Lower Portrush Road, especially around Broad Street, hold a high concentration of units and flats, and a good share of them belong to strata or community schemes. Our managers talk to the scheme’s manager for you, hand on anything that is a common-property problem and see that every tenant receives the by-laws. Levies are deducted from rent without an admin surcharge.

A few Marden buildings date from before Federation, though most went up in the decades after the Second World War. In an older unit group, the expensive faults tend to be plumbing, perished wet-area seals, tired hot water services and worn kitchens. Quarterly routine inspections, written up with photos, give you notice before those faults become urgent call-outs.

The River Torrens forms Marden’s northern boundary, and the river flats were once market gardens. If your rental is near the river, look the address up on PlanSA to see what overlays apply. Work that changes a home’s layout or street appearance may need consent, and we point out any job like that before it is booked.

Everything else we handle for landlords is listed under residential property management.

Who Rents in Marden

Singles, couples and the bus to town

Marden’s tenants are often singles and couples. Lone-person households were 37.7% of the total in 2021, and couples without children made up 46.8% of families. Professionals were 32.1% of working residents, and the largest employers of residents were hospitals, then cafés and restaurants, then aged care. After Australia, India and China were the most common countries of birth.

Buses on Payneham Road, the suburb’s southern boundary, run to the city, and on Census day 9.7% of Marden’s workers rode a bus to their job, about three times the 3.1% state rate. Marden Shopping Centre and Marden Senior College are in the suburb. Units a short walk from a stop and the shops, with a secure car space, tend to let more easily.

Smaller households can move on as their circumstances change, so keeping a good tenant comfortable matters to your return. Every renewal avoids a vacancy, a fresh advertising campaign and the gap between leases.

Close to Marden, our team has leased houses in Vale Park, and we take on rentals in Royston Park, Payneham, Klemzig and Felixstow as well. Rent is paid out twice weekly, and owners who live away from Adelaide can look at our interstate property management.

Common Marden Property Management FAQs

Have a Question?

Often a single person or a couple. In 2021, 37.7% of Marden households were one person and 42.9% of homes had two bedrooms. Closeness to the Payneham Road buses, parking and decent heating and cooling count for a lot with these tenants.

Through the scheme’s manager. We pass on levy notices and pay them out of rent at no extra charge, report common-area faults to the corporation and give your tenant the by-laws, which often cover pets, bins and car spaces.

Some changes do. Altering a layout or the look of a home can trigger the need for consent, depending on the zone. The rules for each address are on PlanSA, the council’s planners can explain them, and we will tell you if a job looks like it needs approval before it starts.

Yes. Photo reports arrive after every routine inspection, four a year, rent is paid to you twice weekly, and your PropertyMe owner portal holds every statement, open whenever you need it.
