We publish every fee before you sign. No markups on maintenance, no charges during vacancy, no inflated letting fees. You only pay us when your property is earning you money.
Same standards across all three. The difference is how much we do for you, and how proactive we are about your returns. You can switch tier any time. Bringing three or more properties? We offer discounted, flexible rates for larger portfolios — talk to us.
For the hands-on landlord who wants professional backup.
Admin, compliance and screening handled. You stay in the driver's seat for the day-to-day.

Proactive portfolio management for the growth-focused landlord.
Everything in Guardian, plus a dedicated layer of portfolio intelligence — turning a passive asset into an investment thesis.

Every tier shares the same standards on transparency and maintenance pricing. You step up only when you want more of the work done for you.

Worked example: 4-bedroom Wellington rental, $900/week, $46,800 annual income. Same property, same income, same year — just a different commercial model.
Illustrative example, based on a typical Wellington 4-bedroom rental and tenancy event averaged across the market. Actual savings depend on your property and tenancy events in any given year.
Our commercial model includes an explicit public commitment to what we won't charge for. This “Never-Charge” list becomes a trust anchor — we don't make money when your property costs you more.
Trade invoices passed through at the actual cost. Markups create the wrong incentive — we'd profit when your property costs you more.
If your property is empty, we don't get paid. Our incentive is always to fill it quickly with the right tenant.
Advertising and credit checks pass through only at the actual cost of advertising and vetting. Compare that to the industry's standard letting fee (circa $1,500).
Renewing a tenancy benefits both parties. It shouldn't generate a separate charge.
Every advertising spend passes through at actual cost. You see the actual invoice.
