How do I choose the best property manager in Perth?

Look for a licensed Perth property manager with strong WA compliance knowledge, clear communication, transparent fees, structured tenant screening, routine inspections, proactive arrears management, and reliable reporting.

What does a property manager do for landlords in Perth?

A Perth property manager coordinates leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, arrears management, routine inspections, maintenance with licensed trades, lease renewals, rent reviews, compliance oversight, and owner reporting.

How much do property managers charge in Perth?

Fees vary by service level and inclusions. Landlords should compare the scope of service, communication standards, compliance oversight, and reporting—not just the management percentage.

How often should routine inspections be done?

Inspection frequency depends on the property and tenancy. Many owners choose quarterly inspections, while stable long-term tenancies may suit a less frequent schedule. Frequency can be changed as circumstances change.

Do you screen tenants thoroughly?

Yes. Applications are assessed across identity, employment and income, rental history, database checks, and additional screening to support risk-managed tenant selection.
