Overview

When Michael and Anna moved overseas, their priority was clear: protect their luxury clifftop Herne Bay home while generating income. They wanted peace of mind, discreet marketing, and a reliable executive tenant. Alba listed the home off-market through our private network, ensuring privacy. We personally vetted applicants and managed every detail of the relocation, from utilities to a seamless handover.

Property maintained to the highest standard with regular inspections. Complete discretion — never advertised publicly. $4,500 per week secured with an executive 12-month lease.
A relocating US executive family enjoyed a move-in ready, fully furnished home with Alba’s concierge-style support.
“Alba’s discretion and professionalism gave us total peace of mind while we were abroad.” Michael & Anna, Herne Bay

Overview

Lucy and Chris, owners of a luxury property in Ponsonby, approached Alba Property for rental advice, uncertain whether short-term (Airbnb) or long-term rental would suit them best. To optimize their rental income and remain under the GST threshold, we proposed a combination of short-term (Airbnb) and mid-term (6 - 9 months) furnished rentals. This approach not only helped them avoid potential GST implications but also maximized their return on investment, as well as offering the flexibility they desired.

"Alba Property's strategic approach helped us maximize our rental income and retain the flexibility to use our property at our convenience over summer. We were impressed with their understanding of our needs and their ability to achieve outstanding results." - Lucy & Chris, Ponsonby

Overview

Sarah and David own a stunning lakefront home in Queenstown and a luxury property in Takapuna, Auckland, but live abroad. They wanted a premium, reliable tenancy without the complications of GST or managing multiple agents in different cities.

Alba leveraged our dual-market expertise in Auckland and Queenstown to provide a single point of management.

Takapuna, Auckland – managed on a traditional long-term tenancy, semi-furnished, providing steady, reliable income.

Queenstown – positioned for a 6-month executive tenancy under the Residential Tenancies Act, fully furnished, avoiding GST obligations. Marketing was discreet through our off-market network, with a personal concierge-style onboarding for tenants.

Simplified management – one provider managing both properties.
GST-free income – both tenancies structured under the RTA.
Flexibility for owners – Queenstown property available for use after tenancy ends.
Privacy preserved – property not publicly advertised.
Premium returns – $5,500 per week with a vetted executive family.

“Having Alba manage both our Takapuna and Queenstown homes made everything seamless. We achieved premium returns, maintained our privacy, and avoided GST headaches.” – Sarah & David, Queenstown
