The Whangārei rental market is under pressure. Many tenants are struggling to afford the rising rent prices, which means they’re often missing out on the better-quality homes. At the same time, landlords are grappling with increasing costs - insurance premiums, council rates, maintenance and compliance expenses have all gone up. It’s a tough spot for both sides.

At Propertyscouts Whangārei, we’re committed to helping keep the local rental market afloat. We don’t want landlords giving up on their investment properties - rental stock is vital for the region, and every home kept in the market helps meet local demand. Our team takes a hands-on approach - offering practical advice to landlords on how to make their properties more appealing to good tenants, and working closely with renters and local community partners to find solutions that work for everyone.

The rental market might be a bit out of sync right now, but we’re all about making it work. By staying proactive, adaptable, and genuinely invested in the success of both our landlords and tenants, we’re helping to create positive outcomes - even in a tricky environment.

If you're a tenant looking for a place to call home, send us your details here and we’ll be in touch when something suitable comes up. And if you're a landlord needing support or advice in the current market, feel free to reach out to Didi directly on 021 0718 585 or didi@propertyscouts.co.nz - she would love to help.
