What's in your free appraisal
Four numbers most owners have never been shown about their own property.

Every management fee, letting fee and add-on charge, laid out against what the rest of the market charges.
Vacancy & arrears check
How many days your property sat empty last cycle, and what that cost you against the local average.
A short action list
Three to five specific, costed moves to lift your net return — yours to keep whether you switch or not.

Questions owners ask
- How does the $500 switch offer work?
- When you transfer the management of an investment property to Touchwood, you receive a $500 Visa gift card or cashback, plus $100 for each car park or storage unit you bring across. We handle the entire handover with your current agency — you don’t lift a finger. It’s a limited-time offer and terms apply; we’ll run through the details on the call.
- How much does the appraisal cost?
- Nothing. The appraisal is free and there is no obligation to switch agencies. We do it because a meaningful share of owners who see the numbers choose to move their management to us — but plenty do not, and that is fine.
- Do I have to leave my current property manager?
- No. Many owners use the appraisal purely as a second opinion, then take the findings back to their existing agency. You keep the report either way.
- How long does it take?
- The initial call takes about two minutes. If you want the full written review, we send it within two business days once we have the property address and current lease details.
- What does the appraisal actually cover?
- Four things: what your property should be renting for against comparable Melbourne listings, what you are paying in management and hidden fees, how your vacancy and arrears history compares to the market, and a short list of specific actions to lift your net return.
- Which areas of Melbourne do you cover?
- Touchwood manages property across Melbourne CBD, East Melbourne, South Melbourne, St Kilda, Carlton, Docklands, Southbank and the surrounding suburbs, with more than 220 assets under management.
