About us

Place your valuable investment in the hands of a property manager you can trust. With no upfront costs, a Rental Guarantee, competitive fees, and a 99.69% occupancy rate, property management is easier with Bayleys. Higher rental returns We share our detailed knowledge of the local rental market, the latest property trends, and tips for small improvements to maximise your return on investment. We always advertise to find you the best tenants on the market, and you reach our database of top-quality potential applicants. Timely maintenance One of the main reasons people change to us is better maintenance. Keeping your property ship shape is a key part of our role. Tenants use a maintenance management app to report issues and stay in the loop, and we discuss all repairs with you first. Easier communication We hate not hearing back from people, so we’d never do that to you. Our team are contactable via email, mobile and DDI’s and your dedicated Property Manager will always get back to you with any questions or concerns you have in a timely manner. Better tenants You deserve great tenants who pay promptly and take care of your property. We do background and credit checks, find out whether a tenant has been to the housing tribunal, and check references. As a result, we have few issues with rent arrears or damage, and very rarely end up at tribunal.

Quick communication and Advocacy for tenants

As a tenant, I have had a wonderful experience with the team at Bayleys Property Management. Both Grace and River are incredibly quick communicators who always reply to emails and queries right away, making the entire tenancy smooth and stress-free. They are genuinely kind, friendly, and approachable. Whenever a maintenance issue came up, they sorted it out immediately and repaired everything that was needed without any delay or hassle. They successfully took care of everything from routine maintenance like gutter cleaning to big-ticket issues like stove and oven replacements. If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and genuinely caring team to look after you, I cannot recommend the Bayleys team enough!
