Yes! We have clients for whom we act as the facilities manager for their commercial buildings.

Residential managers look after homes and deal with individuals and families on tenancies that usually start fixed-term for six to twelve months and then go periodic. Commercial managers look after offices, retail and industrial premises, deal with businesses, negotiate multi-year leases, and manage common areas and commercial compliance. Aspire does both, with separate teams.

Fees in New Zealand vary widely with the location and size of the property, the services provided and the terms of the management agreement. Many companies charge a percentage of the monthly rent collected, which can range from 5% to 10% or more depending on the services offered; others charge a fixed monthly fee. There may be additional fees for advertising, tenant screening, inspections, maintenance coordination and lease renewals, and a leasing fee when a new tenant is placed, typically a percentage of the first month's rent. Aspire prices each building as a bespoke package.

Not all buildings, leases and situations are the same, so we take time to understand the set-up and what is required of Aspire, before creating a bespoke package that works for you.

A Deed of Lease, also known as a lease agreement, is a legally binding contract between the landlord (lessor) and the tenant (lessee). It outlines the terms and conditions of the lease, including duration, rent amount, payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, and other clauses specific to the property and parties involved.

OPEX stands for Operating Expenses. In commercial property leasing, OPEX refers to the expenses incurred for operating and maintaining the property, such as property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, utilities and property management fees. OPEX is typically additional to the base rent and often shared between landlord and tenants per the lease terms.

A Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) is a document issued by the local council certifying that a commercial building meets required health and safety and compliance standards. It ensures essential systems such as fire protection, emergency lighting, and means of escape are regularly inspected, maintained, and tested. Building owners are responsible for obtaining and displaying a valid BWOF.
