Smithfield Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Renting is common in Smithfield. Tenants lived in 48.9% of Smithfield’s homes on the night of the 2021 Census, nearly twice South Australia’s 27.6%, and seven in ten Smithfield homes (70.5%) had three bedrooms. The suburb has a station and bus interchange on the Gawler line, Munno Para Shopping City beside Smith Creek and Main North Road along its eastern edge.

For you as a landlord, demand is steady, and price and condition decide how fast a home lets. Our leasing record nearby takes in houses in Davoren Park, Smithfield Plains, Elizabeth North and Craigmore, and Axiom Realty manages rentals right across Adelaide’s north.

Managing Smithfield Houses and Townhouses

Township history, later stock and shared title

Smithfield is one of the older townships on the road north. John Smith subdivided it in 1854 around Augusta Square, and the historic Smithfield Hotel still stands on Main North Road. Most rentals, though, are later suburban homes. Separate houses made up 80.4% of Smithfield dwellings at the 2021 Census, while semi-detached homes and townhouses reached 19.1%, ahead of the 14.6% state share.

Smithfield townhouses inside a strata or community scheme come with a second rulebook. The corporation’s manager hears about common-property faults from us so your rent doesn’t pay for them, every tenant gets the by-laws, and levies, City of Playford rates and SA Water are deducted from rent with no surcharge for doing it.

In a suburb where so many homes are leased, a house that has been let for years can carry wear nobody has looked at closely. So a Smithfield manager from Axiom calls four times each year and records what they see in photographs. Ahead of a new tenancy, we go room by room with you and sort the repairs from urgent to optional, attaching quotes from our tradespeople. Work that might call for approval under the Planning and Design Code gets raised before anyone is engaged. Everything else we do is described under residential property management.

Who Rents in Smithfield

Who’s renting and what that means for your income

Smithfield’s workforce is weighted to practical trades. Labourers were 20.8% of working Smithfield residents at the 2021 Census and machinery operators and drivers another 14.2%, compared with 10.5% and 6.0% across the state, and social assistance services, supermarkets and aged care employed the most people. Residents come from many places, including England, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Hazaraghi led the languages spoken at home other than English.

One-parent families made up 34.2% of Smithfield families and lone-person households 30.5% of homes, which gives both family houses and smaller places a tenant market. Tenants here weigh the rent carefully, along with heating and cooling, a secure yard and the distance to the station or the shops. Setting the rent correctly from the first week keeps your vacancy short.

Two rent payouts reach you each week, and Smithfield statements wait in the PropertyMe owner portal whenever you log in. Our managers also lease and look after homes in Davoren Park, Smithfield Plains, Elizabeth North, Craigmore and Andrews Farm, and owners in other states can check our interstate management arrangements.
