Perth property management
that actually puts you first.
Founder-led. No lock-in contracts. No juniors. Just one experienced team managing your investment the way you would if you had the time.
PM of the Year
The problems most landlords put up with.
Most Perth agencies run too many properties with too few experienced staff. The result is delayed maintenance, slow responses, and owners who feel like an afterthought. We built Local Property Partners to fix that.
You call, you email, you wait. Meanwhile your tenant is frustrated and a small issue becomes a big one.
High staff turnover means no one knows your property. You have to re-explain everything from scratch.
Management fee markups buried in maintenance invoices, charges you never approved, and line items that only show up after the work is done.
Repairs get logged but not followed up. Your tenant gets frustrated and your property takes the hit.
Market moves up but your rent stays the same. No one reviews it unless you chase them.
A quick walkthrough with a phone camera is not an inspection. You deserve thorough, documented reports with 360 coverage.
Your own Landlord Control Center.
Every Local Property Partners owner gets access to a dedicated online hub with 50+ on-demand services. Request a mortgage review, arrange pest control, trigger a lease renewal, get a cash flow analysis, or lodge maintenance, all from one place. You also get access to exclusive special offers, seasonal promotions, and preferred rates from our trusted partner network. Try finding this at another Perth agency.

Working with Daria has been excellent. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, communication is consistent and we always feel informed and supported. It's clear she genuinely cares about us as landlords, the property and the tenants.

She took over the management authority seamlessly and handled a break lease professionally and without stress. Her appraisal achieved a better price than we expected. Most importantly, she listens to our concerns and acts on them promptly.

Daria is a breath of fresh air in real estate. She made the process of renting out our house so easy and took care of absolutely everything for us. Trustworthy, honest and has only the best intentions for us.

We've worked with Daria for more than 2 years. Her honesty and reliability stand out. She is genuine and acts with integrity. Next-day payments are a blessing. And all these are standard inclusions, no extra fees!

Frequently asked questions.
We manage properties across the full Perth metro, from Rockingham in the south to Two Rocks in the north, and east to the Hills. If you are unsure whether your property is in our coverage area, get in touch and we will let you know.
Our fees are competitive with other Perth agencies. The key difference is transparency: no management fee markups on maintenance invoices, no unapproved charges, no surprise line items on your statement. Every charge is approved by you before it happens. Property condition reports and final bond inspections are included at $0. Use our fee calculator to see full details.
No. We do not use lock-in contracts. Most Perth agencies lock you in for 2 years. We think you should stay with us because we deliver results, not because you are tied in. If we are not meeting your expectations, you are free to leave at any time.
Co-living is a room-by-room leasing model where each bedroom is let individually, often with private ensuites. It can significantly increase your rental yield. Not every property is suitable, which is why we offer a free co-living assessment. This service is currently available for properties north of the Perth CBD. Learn more about co-living.
Switching is straightforward. We handle the entire handover process, review your existing file, and confirm lease, rent, compliance, and billing arrangements so nothing is missed. Most transitions are completed within a few business days. Read our switching guide.
We are founder-led, which means you deal directly with experienced property managers, not a call centre. We keep our portfolio small enough to give every property genuine attention. Combined with transparent fees, 360 inspections, premium marketing, and structured tenant management, it adds up to a very different experience from the big agencies.
Yes. We conduct a formal risk assessment on every property we manage, covering bushfire, flood, contamination, asbestos, title encumbrances, planning, and unapproved structures. This is included as part of our management agreement and is not something most agencies offer.
Absolutely. Every owner gets 24/7 access to a live portal where you can view statements, inspection reports, maintenance updates, and tenancy details at any time.
A dedicated online hub available to every Local Property Partners owner with over 50 on-demand services. Mortgage reviews, building inspections, lease renewals, maintenance, cash flow analysis, and access to our referral network for brokers, accountants, buyers agents, and more. Included in your management fee at no extra cost. Explore the full hub.
Look for a licensed, experienced manager with strong compliance knowledge in WA, transparent communication, clear reporting, a proven leasing process, and a track record of protecting assets while maximising rental outcomes. Ask how many properties each manager handles, what is included in the fee, and whether there are lock-in contracts.
Property management fees in Perth typically range from 7% to 10% of the weekly rent plus GST, with letting fees of 1 to 2 weeks rent. The best approach is to compare what is actually included, communication standards, and risk management processes, not just the percentage fee. Use our fee calculator for details.
WA rental compliance protects owners from liability and avoids disputes. A strong manager ensures safety and legislative requirements are met under the Residential Tenancies Act, keeps documentation current, and manages issues proactively. We conduct a formal risk assessment on every property covering bushfire, flood, contamination, asbestos, and unapproved structures.
