Hi there, I’m looking to secure a reliable, long-term tenant for my 1-bedroom apartment in Brushwood Complex, Ferndale. The current lease ends at the end of July, and I would like to have a new tenant in place from 1 August, ideally on a minimum 12-month lease. The current rental is R7, per month, plus electricity cost. I cover all other expense costs. Could you please provide information on your fees for sourcing a tenant, as well as an estimate of how long the process typically takes? Kind regards,
I need a 1 bedroom rental. I do not mind sharing a bathroom and kitchen but I do not want to share the bedroom. My exact budget is between R to R. I need this property to be around the Bult area or in Potchefstroom Central. I have never purchased anything on credit so I do not have a credit score and I would prefer not to take a lease.

Good morning, I own a property on Lower Main Road [Observatory] comprising: - 2 one-bedroom flats; - 2 studio flats; Between July, August and December, the current tenancy agreements will not be renewed, and I would like to take this opportunity to carry out maintenance and refurbishment work before finding new tenants; in the meantime, I would like to find a new reliable estate agent to entrust with the task. I am also in the process of purchasing a second property in Woodstock, and provided my dispute with the seller is resolved as soon as possible, there will be a total of six units available to let. I would like to know: - What the fixed management fees would be if I chose your services; - What the marketing costs would be for finding new tenants, including photographs once the work is complete; - What the subsequent costs would be for regular inspections every 3–6 months; Kind regards,
