Unley Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Unley begins where the Adelaide Park Lands end, framed by Greenhill Road, Unley Road and King William Road, and its rental stock reflects that position. In 2021 the Census recorded 27.1% of Unley’s occupied dwellings as flats or apartments, 20.2% as townhouses or semis and 52.0% as separate houses. Rented homes came to 35.6% of the total.

Many Unley tenants are working professionals who will pay for a well-kept home near their job, the cafés and public transport, and the condition of your property decides whether you attract them. Axiom Realty manages rentals across the inner south and has leased houses in neighbouring Fullarton and Unley Park.

Managing Period Homes and Flats in Unley

Heritage rules, strata schemes and ageing buildings

Land in Unley was laid out around 1857, and older houses still line many streets beside later blocks of flats and modern townhouses. An older home usually shows its age in the roof, the gutters, the stormwater and damp creeping into masonry. Our team visits four times a year and follows every visit with a photo report, giving you early warning of anything heading towards a costly repair.

Across the City of Unley, some streets sit inside a Historic Area Overlay, and the council’s rules there make demolition subject to approval. Other work that changes what the street sees can need consent too. Search your address on PlanSA to see whether it is affected, and we will tell you when a planned job may need consent before any tradesperson is engaged.

Strata and community title is common among Unley’s flats and townhouses. Our managers speak with the corporation’s manager for you, send common-property defects to the corporation, provide tenants with the by-laws, and pay levies from the rent without any admin surcharge. Everything else we take on for Unley owners is described under residential property management.

Who Rents in Unley

Professional tenants and what they weigh up

Unley’s residents work mainly in skilled roles. In 2021, professionals made up 40.3% of employed residents and managers 18.1%, while hospitals, legal services and higher education were among the largest industries. Degrees are common too: 49.8% of Unley residents aged 15 or older had a bachelor’s qualification or above.

Plenty of them live close to work. On Census day, 7.4% walked to their job, 5.6% cycled there and 14.5% stayed home to work, and the Glenelg tram line clips the suburb’s north-west corner. A study nook, a secure spot to store bikes and good phone and internet coverage are worth mentioning in a listing.

Unley households are small. Single-occupant homes were 32.9% of the total, and childless couples made up 43.7% of families. Two-bedroom dwellings formed 33.9% of the stock, so a neat two-bedroom flat or townhouse with a car park is up against many others, and its presentation and price determine how quickly it is taken. Collected rent reaches your account in two payouts a week.

Our property management service covers the neighbouring suburbs too, among them Parkside, Goodwood, Wayville, Fullarton and Unley Park. Landlords elsewhere in Australia can find out about our interstate property management.

Common Unley Property Management FAQs

Have a Question?

A broad range. The 2021 Census showed 52.0% separate houses, 27.1% flats or apartments and 20.2% townhouses or semi-detached homes in Unley. Smaller homes match the suburb’s many singles and couples, and houses suit families who want to stay near the city.
They might. The City of Unley has Historic Area Overlays, where demolition needs approval and changes to a home’s street appearance can need consent. Ordinary repairs generally do not. The PlanSA Code viewer shows the controls for your address, and we flag work that could need consent before it begins.
