Northfield Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Family houses carry Northfield’s rental market. Separate houses made up 80.6% of occupied dwellings in the 2021 count, two in three homes had three bedrooms, and 40.6% were rented, against 27.6% statewide. Couples with children accounted for just over half of all families.

For a landlord, that means applicants who want room and a yard, and a house that has to stay in good order to keep them. Axiom Realty has leased houses in Northfield and sold one here, and our property managers also lease homes in Northgate, Clearview, Walkley Heights and Lightsview.

Managing Houses in Northfield

Older homes, newer townhouses and approvals

Northfield has a long history. A marriage notice used the name in 1852, Northfield Primary School dates from 1861, and parts of the original suburb were later renamed Northgate and Lightsview. Older Northfield houses therefore sit within a short drive of much newer townhouse estates, and each style ages in its own way.

In the older houses, the money tends to go on roofs, box gutters, stormwater and hot water units. Townhouses add a body corporate to the picture, which is responsible for shared areas. Every quarter we walk through your Northfield rental and email you photos, we talk directly to any corporation’s manager about common-property faults, and strata levies are paid from your rent at no surcharge.

Thinking about a carport, rear extension or second dwelling? Work like that may need development approval, so search your address in the PlanSA Code viewer. We raise any job that could need it with you before booking. Everything else we do for landlords is listed under residential property management.

Who Rents in Northfield

Tenants, transport and your return

Many Northfield households are families with roots overseas. Indian-born residents were 15.3% of the population at the last Census, and half of all locals had two overseas-born parents, against roughly a third statewide. Carers and other personal service workers, tradespeople and professionals filled most jobs, while residential aged care and hospitals were the largest employing industries.

On Census day 6.5% of employed Northfield residents commuted by bus, compared with 3.1% for South Australia, and Grand Junction Road passes through the suburb. A house close to a stop, with off-street parking and decent heating and cooling, suits the people this market attracts.

Your money is paid out on two days each week, and invoices and statements are kept in the PropertyMe owner portal for whenever you want them. Keeping a reliable tenant usually costs less than finding the next one, so repairs get handled promptly and lease renewals are raised early.

Our managers also look after homes in Northgate, Lightsview, Clearview, Walkley Heights and Pooraka. Living outside South Australia? See how interstate property management with Axiom runs.
