Modbury Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Most Modbury rentals are houses and townhouses within reach of Westfield Tea Tree Plaza, Modbury Hospital and the O-Bahn. At the 2021 Census, 31% of the suburb’s homes were rented, and its residents worked in a wide range of jobs, from health and aged care to trades and office work.

That gives you a broad pool of working tenants, couples and families. Your return depends on keeping the property in good order and the rent in line with the market, so that good tenants choose to renew. Axiom Realty leases and manages homes across the north-east, including Modbury Heights and Modbury North.

Managing Houses and Townhouses in Modbury

Upkeep for the local housing stock

At the 2021 Census, 75% of Modbury’s occupied homes were separate houses, 19% were semi-detached houses, row houses or townhouses, and 6% were flats. Most homes here therefore come with a yard, a driveway and a roof, and on a rental those are yours to maintain.

On a house, the costly repairs usually start outside: blocked gutters and downpipes, tree roots in sewer pipes, leaning fences and lawns that are left to die off over summer. Our four routine inspections a year, each with a photo report, are where we catch these early. When a job is needed, we get quotes from our tradespeople and set them out for you in order of priority.

Townhouse groups are usually run by a strata or community corporation. We deal with its manager, pass faults in common property to the corporation, hand your tenants a copy of the by-laws and pay levies out of the rent without an admin surcharge. If a carport, verandah or other addition might need development approval, we tell you before it is booked. See residential property management for the full service.

Who Rents in Modbury

Tenants, transport and your return

Modbury’s residents work across a wide spread of jobs. At the 2021 Census, the largest occupation groups were professionals (18%), community and personal service workers (16%), clerical and administrative workers (14%) and technicians and trades workers (14%). Hospitals and residential aged care were the two biggest industries of employment, in a suburb with Modbury Hospital inside it.

Public transport matters to part of this market. About 12% of employed residents used it to get to work, mostly by bus, and the O-Bahn busway ends at Tea Tree Plaza, inside the suburb. When we price and advertise a rental here, we lead with parking, a secure yard for pets, heating and cooling, and the trip to the interchange and the Plaza, because those are what keep vacancy short.

Common Modbury Property Management FAQs

Have a Question?

Mostly houses. At the 2021 Census, three-quarters of Modbury’s homes were separate houses, about one in five were townhouses or semi-detached homes, and a small share were flats. Houses suit families and sharers, while townhouses and units suit couples and people living alone.

Some additions do. Carports, verandahs, larger sheds and second dwellings can all need development approval. Modbury falls within the City of Tea Tree Gully, and the council’s planners or the PlanSA website can tell you what applies to your address. We raise any job that may need approval with you before work starts.

The lease sets out what the tenant maintains, such as lawns and garden beds, and what stays with you, such as large trees and fences. We check the garden at every routine inspection and include it in the photo report, so a problem is raised during the tenancy instead of at the end.

Practical things: off-street parking, a fenced yard, heating and cooling, and an easy trip to Westfield Tea Tree Plaza, Modbury Hospital or the O-Bahn interchange. We feature these in the advertising and price the home against comparable rentals nearby to keep the vacant period short.

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.
