TestimonialsWhat our clients say about us;Iron Bridge Property Management"Hi Gemma, Firstly I'd like to say thanks for the efforts you made at looking after the property myself and my friends lived at over the last year, I understand the stresses that must have been involved with the ongoing earthquake repairs etc etc, and I appreciate your professionalism in rectifying the issues we were faced with following the earthquakes. I'm writing a quick message to see if you are able to write a reference letter for myself and my flatmates… Thanks, Verity Donald." 4th Nov 2011 "Dear David, Iron Bridge has been an excellent company to deal with. Both yourself and Kirsten Parcell have been professional and helpful. Thank you to you both. Yours sincerely, Sharon Thomas." 20th October 2011 "To whom it may concern, I have had the pleasure of using Iron Bridge rentals for my property needs over the last year. Gemma has been my point of contact throughout this timeframe. I found Gemma to be efficient in all tasks she undertook, no task was too big or too small. At all times Gemma remained in constant contact via telephone or e-mail, a fantastic effort considering all of the severe earthquakes and weather we have experienced throughout 2011. Any concerns I had were dealt with immediately and very professionally. Gemma has done an outstanding job and I would recommend her to tenants and owners alike. If I am ever in the property game again, Gemma will be my first point of contact. S G J Murphy." October 2011 "Hi Adam, just wanted to drop you a quick line and say a huge THANK YOU; we are really pleased with the quick work by you and your team and its great to have one less thing to contend with. Having tenants ready and waiting is just brilliant. We have great expectations now!! These tenants sound keen to stay put for a few years, so we look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again. Rebecca & Andrew Laker". June 2011 "Jackie, you have been the most pleasurable and organised property manager I have had to contact. Wow what a difference it has made. 99% of the time when we find the only contact details on a claim is the property manager we groan. In our experience, except for Jackie, (she was the talk of our office for a day!), property managers take a long time to get back to us, if at all. They refuse to release information about claimants/their clients or pass our requests onto the owner of the property. With no claimant contact details or insurance details the property cannot be inspected. The only time we usually hear from a property manager is to complain the property we still require info from has not been inspected!! The property Jackie organised the information for had insurance verified on the same day, contacts sorted and is now ready for assessment, great for the owner. I love anyone who takes a little of the stress out of working for EQC and is pleasant :). thank you very much. Sarah Davies, Insurance Co-Ordinator, Earthquake Commission." June 2011 "Our names are Josh and Susanna Runham and we have rented with Iron Bridge in Christchurch for over 2 yrs. During that time we have been happy with the way our tenancy was managed in terms of prompt attention to maintenance issues and professional management of the property. We would recommend Iron Bridge to future tenants, Susanna and Josh Runham" May 2011 "Hi Gemma, Thank you for your assistance in this regard and for the excellent and friendly service that we have received from you and your company over the past six and a half years. It has been much appreciated by my family and I. May I take this opportunity to wish you all of the best for the future. Deon Pieterse" April 2011. ![]() "Gemma, I would like to put in writing what a pleasure it has been to deal with Iron Bridge. I have always found the company and staff professional, organised and friendly. I will definitely recommend Iron Bridge as a rental provider and property managers if I get the opportunity. Please pass on my appreciation to your team of workers.Kind Regards,Lisa Frater. (Former Iron Bridge tenant.)" Nov 2010. "Hi there, just wanted to feed back that my wife and I are more than happy with the prompt service we are getting from you and for the level of reporting coming through in the bi-monthly property management statements. Thanks and keep up the good work!Regards, Andrew and Pip Penhey" August 2010 "Adam, I just want to put on record my appreciation for the way Iron Bridge handled the management of my investment property over a number of years, and for the professional and efficient approach you took to the sale of the property recently. Throughout our professional relationship I had total confidence and peace of mind in the knowledge that my interests were being served at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend you and the team at Iron Bridge to anyone wanting a reputable firm of professional property managers. Many thanks and best regards, John Bentley". July 2010 "Hi Julie, Thanks for sending us the tenancy agreement. I would like to thank you also for all your hard work in keeping us posted about our property and always going out of your way with making sure all is in order. We know it is in good hands. It is great to know that the tenants are keeping the house in good shape. Kind regards, Cornelia."

Thanks" Megan. May 2010 "Thank you so much for everything Gemma. I have really enjoyed dealing with Iron Bridge Property Management. You are a credit to them, and they are lucky to have you! Thanks again. Kind Regards" Rob May. April 2010 "We moved to Christchurch from the Bay of Plenty and had no local knowledge of Christchurch. Iron Bridge advised us on the local area and arranged for extra photographs of a property that we found on the net to help inform our choice. They emailed all the forms and instructed us on the process so we could find a suitable property before moving South. They were incredibly helpful, supportive and professional throughout our time renting. To the team at Iron Bridge (especially Gemma) - Thanks for all your help over the past year or so. I will recommend you to anyone I meet that is looking for a property to rent." Mark Liddle March 2010 I'd like to take this opportunity to say how grateful we are for the services we received from the Iron Bridge team. We found them to be very professional at all times and always very obliging. Thank you for the service you provided. We have more than enough reasons to recommend you to others." Jonathan & Amanda Stewart. March 2010 "We have had our two Orewa townhouses tenanted through the Iron Bridge team for five years. Their service, in all regards, is exemplary. That is: their contact with us has been efficient and prompt; their reporting systems accurate and intelligent; they have trusting relationships with tenants; they apply sensitivity to ensure the very best rental rate is achieved to meet the client's and our needs. we can verify that a nearly 100% tenancy rate has been achieved - that of course, being our desired outcome. Julie and Paul Brown." Feb 2010 "Good Morning Trudi, Thank you for your help over the last couple of weeks. I wish to thank you and all the people involved in the Management of the apartment over the past 20 months. Kind Regards Jamie Lumber."

Sept 2009
"Dear Denise, I am writing to thank you for the great service you gave us with the management of our rental property at Puhara Avenue over the last five years. The company in general but you in particular provided us with timely, accurate information by way of emailed monthly statements and other communication when necessary for this to be "hands free"; (worry free) for us. Your special effort with time and elbow grease made during the recent tidy up prior to selling was really appreciated. The new owners were rapt and commented on the spotless condition of the property when they made their final pre-purchase inspection. Thanks once again. Regards, John & June." Sept 2009

"There has really been a big step up in service since joining Iron Bridge - Thanks for all the good work. David H."
"I am very delighted with my experience with Iron Bridge over the last 6 years. Your company is honestly the best I have found in my experience in real estate. The rental process is so seamless in all regards:- leasing, rental income and the statements are the best I have seen. Even after moving to Australia there is hardly any issues and it is hard to believe that we could have a property in New Zealand without spending a minute on its management. Great service and thank you. Your personal effort to meet my deadline for the sale and the professional management of the whole process is outstanding. I really thank you personally and your team. Mr C Kumble".
"Your service has been wonderful. Lynette D". "Just a quick note to say a big Thank You! The renewal of the lease for the next 12 months and extra weekly rental with existing tenants is great. John G". "We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team at Iron Bridge Property for the support and assistance you have given us over the last three years, and also thank the owners on our behalf for the use of their wonderful Home. B Copplestone & A Conklin".
"We want to thank you for all the help that you gave us when we were in the UK and the assistance that you provided when we arrived in New Zealand. Without this help we would not have had such a good start to our new life here in New Zealand. Trudi & Doug McGregor".
"Hi Pam, Just a quick note to thank you for your work in getting us into Southampton Street. We have both found you great to deal with and have been impressed with the speed at which you deal with things. You do a great job! Cheers. Jayson & Anna Palmer". "Suzanne and I would like to forward our sincere thanks to your team in Property Management. For the time in which they have managed our property we have only had excellent service. We have had very little to do apart from answering their questions and reading our monthly statements. Having previously had a rental property “managed” by another firm, we are now aware of how Property Management should be done. The team has always been on top of rental arrears and renewal of tenancy agreements and the current condition of the house is a reflection on how seriously they take their responsibilities in respect to the property inspections. Thank you and your Team. Mr S & Mrs S Bovaird". "Thank you for all your help over the past few years with the management and subsequent sale of this property. It was a pleasure doing business with you and your team. A.Bedford". "Just to say thank you very much for everything over the past how many years now with my lease at Glencalder, it always appeared to be hassle free and a lovely home to live in. So thanks again for the service provided and all the queries, concerns etc you've helped me with, it has all been very much appreciated. Glynis". "I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you. Originally I was concerned when I learnt of my tenants breaking their 6 month fixed term lease. However I was delighted to learn that you had very quickly found replacement tenants at $20 per week more rent and for a longer 12 month fixed term. My Bank manager will be happy! Thank you for your fast, efficient and effective help! Sarah J".
"Dear Shelley,
"I have used the Services of Iron Bridge Property Management Ltd from the time my house was first built until I sold it just over two years later.

"Brent, at the time of inspecting the property we were absolutely thrilled with the quality of the build and standard of finish. The whole project has gone without a hitch, and we would certainly repeat the process again. Thank you Iron Bridge". L & S Robertson. February 2011 "Hello Brent, Re: 20 Venerable Terrace, Delamain, Christchurch This is the first investment property I have had built, and the process was easy and seamless from start to finish. Everything went as promised and as planned. Well done to the Iron Bridge Team. Cheers, Carl Tanner." December 2010.

For any future property investments I will not hesitate to work with Iron Bridge". Kind Regards G Woodhouse. November 2010. "I can not stress enough just how happy I am so far with the entire Iron Bridge experience full stop! Everything has gone so smoothly and been fun along the way, it was flat out, fun and exciting." Mike Fronczek. July 2009 “Dear Brent,” Now that we have our second tenants in our house, still at $20.00 per week more than you illustrated we thought it was timely to drop you a note to say thanks. The construction finishing and letting of our investment property has been hassle free and we are pleased to have no direct involvement with any of the activities usually associated with being a landlord. Many thanks again.” Peter & Rose Wise "Everything has been completed to a very high standard and we were impressed with the builders and other contractors’ attention to detail. The rent was much higher than we expected which is a real confidence builder and gives us confidence for the future and ongoing relationship with Iron Bridge Mr and Mrs Halloran "Thanks Allan, much appreciated. I can't say how impressed I am with the service I have received from you personally and from Iron Bridge as a customer of yours over the past year or so." Mike "Hi Adam, Thanks for your excellent service so far. This is a great day for Esta and I - hope there are many more of these in the not too distant future!" L. Mostert "Dear Brent, we were delighted to receive the news that the house is almost completed and that you have arranged tenants already. It doesn't seem that long ago since we were looking at sections. We passed through Christchurch about three weeks ago and were impressed with what had been achieved by then." K & S Heaphy "Dear David, I watched the construction of the house on a weekly basis and was pleased with, how in a short time it all came together. The size of the house on completion amazed me. I went through with the property management people for final inspection before the tenants moved in and was pleased with the workmanship. The rooms are big and roomy, wonderful for a family or anyone who enjoys space, but also cosy with the neutral walls and carpets. I am extremely pleased with my investment and having the property managers look after the tenants and the gardens and lawns, I am hassle free." L Tweedie "Dear David, It is now 5 months since our property at North Shore was completed and we are writing to let you know how delighted we are with the total package. The fact that we now have a rental property that is rented at the higher end of the market with positive cash flow and excellent capital growth potential is a credit to the hassle free package your company has put together. Frankly, when you first asked us to look at this type of investment we were skeptical that it could deliver what was being offered. We are pleased to say the return has exceeded the initial expectation. We visited the North Shore property last weekend and were thrilled with the finished products as well as the condition that the grounds and house were being maintained to. Thank you for your assistance and help over the last 8 months." J & P Smith "Hi Brent, The house is built, the tenants are in and our retirement is looking better already! Must admit its all been so much easier than we imagined and no stress - what a nice change. So thanks Brent for your help, see you next house." K & C Nolan "We are grateful to David for his work with us throughout the planning and purchase of our investment property. We have found David to be a man who has a professional approach to his work and develops good relationships with his clients. He has a high integrity and is kind, generous and easy to work with. He is helpful - nothing seems to much for him. He knows his job well and has always been able to answer our questions or has found the answers for us. We have recommended some of our friends to him, knowing that they too will be well looked after. We thank David for the time and experience he shared with us to make our investment property purchase become a reality. He made sure the whole process proceeded smoothly and easily for us." L& G Ennor.
"Dear David, As an investor in one of your homes we are very happy with the product that you have provided. We have always wanted to have an investment property and your company has enabled this by the following; Only $1000 deposit, Capital injections not required due to the combination of special tax code and rent flow being used to meet the monthly mortgage and other overheads, A very effective Property Manager who is looking after our interests. We have no hesitation in recommending your product to friends of ours." A Calder "Dear David, Now that our rental property is built and tenanted, we would like to thank you for the very professional way in which you and your colleagues handled the whole process on our behalf. From our initial meeting with you everything went extremely smoothly. The property was built to a very high standard and we are delighted with the way it has turned out. More importantly, we were very impressed with the fact that there was no delay between the completion of the building work and the tenants moving in. We will certainly have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone else." J Pow "Allan and I would like to convey our thanks to you for all your help and advice over the last few months.

"Hi Adam, Thanks for making the sale of our property a simple and efficient process! Literally just a few telephone conversations and the sale of our investment property was done. And the sale price you achieved was above expectation....all-in-all a great experience. "Hi David, We wish to place on record your help through the process of finding a property, building and finally tenanting the completed estate. It is with your expert knowledge of the Christchurch area and support for us in various aspects of the build that have allowed us to complete the project to our satisfaction. Your attention to detail has meant the development has been to a high standard that in turn makes the property much more attractive to tenant. In fact this was amply demonstrated on tenants signing up on the same day the contract with the builder was settled. It would be remiss of us not to mention Adam who has been very helpful from our end in making all this work. It is the fact that you both have been contactable at any time to discuss any issues that make our life easy." M & R Warin "We have been enjoying working with David Lewis of Iron Bridge Property Investment because of his ability to construct an investment opportunity to meet our needs. We are both busy people so we appreciate David only bringing the opportunities that would fit our criteria. His business approach enables us to make a proper business decision which is important when looking at investments properties. He went out of his way to ensure any issues or queries were dealt with efficiently. He also provided us excellent options for obtaining professional advice from lawyers, mortgage brokers and accountants, who all understood what we were trying to achieve. We look forward to dealing with him again when it is time to purchase a third property." Vic & Sandra "Dear David, I would like to personally thank you for the service you gave my wife and I when we were in New Zealand in May of this year and wanted to discuss our housing investments strategies. I first purchased an investment property through Iron Bridge approximately nine years ago and am still very impressed with the professional team at Iron Bridge who administer all dealings with that property; from renting and inspecting to finance and strategic planning. In May of this year David, you gave us a lot of time and we discussed further investments, went out looking at property and made some calculated decisions. Your professionalism was evident at all times and your advice was clear and precise. You guided us in the right direction but we did not feel pressured in any way. We would happily recommend Iron Bridge and yourself to other people and as you are aware two people I have recommended have invested through you." Antony Trimbach "Morning David, I am starting to relax (finally!) and feel that you and the wonderful contacts you have put us in touch with through your company are all working hard for us to make this happening. Very exciting - this could be the most wonderful birthday present i will ever get on Friday!"
