Agencies in Ilam, Canterbury

Whittle & Knight provide an excellent property management service. Communication is consistently clear, prompt, and to the point. When repairs are required, approval is requested quickly ensuring issues are resolved efficiently. This level of responsiveness and professionalism is exactly what I value in an agent, and it gives me great confidence that my property is well managed.

We were on the fence about hiring a property manager for our rental, but we are very impressed with the service we have received from both Kelly and Louiza at Whittle Knight. Our build was finished much earlier than expected, leaving us part way through the student year and potentially without income for several months. Louiza was able to secure interim tenants as well as a group with excellent references for next year. Louiza is very experienced, her knowledge is exemplary and she communicates beautifully. I've most appreciated the time she has taken to answer my questions and we unreservedly recommend the company to others.

Kelly and Alice have been excellent to work with, making renting the property hassle-free. I appreciate their routine and clear communication meaning I am up to date with everything.

Gael was exceptional—knowledgeable, responsive, and truly supportive.

Gael was responsive and so easy to work with throughout our tenancy. She handled our questions professionally and timely.

We’ve had a really positive experience renting our new flat through Cowdy. The application process was smooth and well communicated, thanks to our agent, Gael. Cowdy has been great to work with and I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a reliable rental experience.

Our property manager’s rental assessment for the property was aligned with other properties listed in the district; however she identified to us that from the prospective tenant feedback, in our rent range, many were looking for more updated newer properties. She suggested a full refresh and offered to seek independent quotes for full repaint, carpet and curtains. All were obtained quickly and authorised by us. She then offered to oversee/facilitate the repair work, and during the work, secured suitable tenants able to move in as soon as works were completed. I didn’t have to take time off work or get too involved. The place looks great and we’re pleased to have it occupied again.

A huge thank you to the team at Bayleys Property Management Canterbury — especially Matt, Wally, and Eti — for going above and beyond to help secure a rental for me on very short notice. Their communication, professionalism, and willingness to help made what could have been a very stressful situation so much easier. Nothing was too much trouble, and their support throughout the process was genuinely appreciated. Highly recommend the team for anyone looking for exceptional service and people who truly care about helping their clients.
