Richmond Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Richmond sits a few kilometres west of the city in the City of West Torrens, and renting is a large part of life here. The 2021 Census found 43.9% of Richmond’s occupied dwellings rented, a long way above the 27.6% recorded for South Australia, and 35.2% of households were a single person. Separate houses accounted for 61.9% of homes, with townhouses, semis and flats making up nearly all the rest.

So a Richmond landlord can find a tenant for almost any size of home, while a small unit goes up against plenty of similar listings. Axiom Realty manages and leases rentals across Greater Adelaide, and we set your asking rent and presentation by studying what is on offer in the streets around yours.

Managing Richmond Houses and Units

Several building eras under one postcode

Richmond was built in waves. Homes went up from the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth, building carried on between the wars, the largest growth came after the Second World War, and newer dwellings have been added since. Each era ages in its own way. Older houses need watching for roof leaks, rising damp and stormwater, while recent townhouses raise questions about shared driveways, boundary fences and common areas.

Some streets near Richmond Road and South Road run past small commercial and industrial sites. If your rental is close to one, the listing should say so plainly, so the person who signs the lease already knows the setting and is less likely to leave early.

Where the property is part of a strata or community scheme, our team handles contact with the corporation’s manager, sends shared-area defects to the corporation for repair and supplies every new tenant with the by-laws. Levies, West Torrens council rates and SA Water bills are paid out of rent, and no admin surcharge is added.

Each year we make four routine visits, and a photo report reaches you after every one, so you can follow the home’s condition from anywhere. Before an upgrade that may need consent under the Planning and Design Code goes ahead, we raise it with you; the PlanSA Code viewer sets out the rules for any address. Our residential property management page describes the full service.

Who Rents in Richmond

Workers, singles and couples close to town

Richmond’s workforce is a mix. Among employed residents in 2021, professionals were 24.1% and community and personal service workers 16.2%, and the biggest employing industries were hospitals, cafés and restaurants, and residential aged care. Couples without children were 36.3% of families. After Australia, India, China and Greece were the commonest countries of birth.

Transport shapes what these tenants will pay for. South Road, Marion Road and Sir Donald Bradman Drive all serve the suburb, Adelaide Metro buses run through it, and 6.7% of Richmond workers went to work by bus on Census day, compared with 3.1% statewide. There is no station inside Richmond, but Mile End and Adelaide Showground stations lie a short way east.

With so many residents living alone or as a couple, one- and two-bedroom homes that offer parking, storage and decent heating and cooling suit a big slice of the market. Two-bedroom dwellings were 26.3% of Richmond’s stock. A tenant who is comfortable tends to renew, and each renewal saves you the cost of a vacancy. Rent collected is paid out to you in two instalments every week.

Our property management service extends to the suburbs around Richmond, such as Mile End, Marleston, Kurralta Park, Cowandilla and West Richmond. If you are based in another state, see how our interstate property management works.

They draw different tenants. The 2021 Census split Richmond’s homes into 61.9% separate houses, 21.3% townhouses or semi-detached homes and 15.1% flats or apartments. Houses appeal to families and sharers, and smaller homes to the many residents who live alone. We check your home against current local listings before settling on a rent.

It can. Richmond Oval on Milner Road is the home ground of the West Adelaide Football Club, so nearby streets get busier around matches. Some tenants will count the walk to the ground as a plus. Mentioning it in the advertisement means nobody is caught off guard after moving in.
