What residential properties can YAY manage in Mortlake?
Mortlake’s compact residential area includes a substantial apartment market. Leasing decisions should distinguish the building, water outlook where present, outdoor areas and parking rather than apply a single waterfront premium to every property.
How should a Mortlake property be priced for rent?
Start with genuinely comparable current listings and recent leasing evidence, then account for dwelling type, exact position, layout, parking, condition, presentation and launch timing.
How does the local Mortlake market affect leasing?
Assess ventilation, balcony condition and strata responsibilities for each apartment. Describe a water view or included facility only when it belongs to the advertised property, and compare rentals with the same practical features.
How are Mortlake property management fees structured?
Fees commonly include an ongoing management fee, with leasing and other agreed services depending on the arrangement. YAY provides a clear proposal before appointment so services and applicable fees are understood upfront.
Can YAY manage a Mortlake property with an existing tenant?
Yes. YAY can review the current arrangement and coordinate the transfer once appointed, without the change of agent itself ending the tenancy.
Can I switch from another Mortlake property manager?
Yes. The current management agreement should first be checked for notice and termination requirements. YAY can then coordinate the practical handover after appointment.
