Why get a rental appraisal?
Owning a rental is great - but setting the rent right is where the magic happens.
Price it too high and you risk long vacancies or unhappy tenants.
Price it too low and… well, that’s money you could have been earning!
A professional rental appraisal helps you strike that sweet spot — maximising returns while maintaining long-term tenancy stability.
At ONE AGENCY Select Realty, our Wellington rental specialists are constantly tracking the local market. We look at comparable rental properties, neighbourhood trends, tenant demand, features like heating and insulation, transport access, school zones — all the factors that influence rental value in Porirua, Wellington, Kapiti, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt.
Buying an investment property? A rental appraisal still matters.
Even if you’re not the owner yet, a rental appraisal is hugely valuable when scouting for investment opportunities.
It helps you:
• Compare projected returns between suburbs
• Understand realistic cashflow potential
• Decide how much you can borrow and comfortably repay
Banks often require an up-to-date rental appraisal when financing an untenanted property — especially across Wellington, Porirua, Kapiti and the Hutt Valley — so having one can strengthen your lending conversations.
When should you get a rental appraisal?
One quick glance at the headlines confirms it — the Wellington rental market moves fast.
