Multi-property discount
More properties with us, one blended rate across the whole portfolio.

We calculate the average weekly rent across your properties to find the base tier rate, then deduct 0.25% per additional property. The resulting blended rate applies to every property in your portfolio. Discount applies to the management fee only, not the letting fee or other one-off charges. Floor at 6.0%.

Worked example. Two properties at $950/wk and $1,000/wk. Average weekly rent = $975. That falls in the $900 to $1,099 tier at 6.66% (smooth interpolation between anchors). Apply 0.25% multi-property discount (1 additional property) = 6.41% blended rate, applied to both properties. Property 1 = $950 × 6.41% × 52 = $3,165/yr + GST ($3,481 incl GST). Property 2 = $1,000 × 6.41% × 52 = $3,331/yr + GST ($3,664 incl GST).

Your figures only; we make no claims about other agencies. This comparison uses the first property's rent and the base rate (no multi-property discount), since competing quotes typically come on a per-property basis.

Indicative only. One-off costs amortised over one year. We make no claims about other agencies. Figures shown are those you enter. Some agencies also charge their management percentage on gross collections (water, gas, electricity, break lease fees), which can change the picture meaningfully. Worth asking about.

Most Perth agencies quote a single headline percentage and leave the rest in the fine print. The headline is rarely the whole cost. Monthly admin charges, postage and petties, technology levies, ingoing and outgoing report fees, title searches, end of financial year preparation and file close-off fees all sit underneath it, and they are what make two apparently similar quotes end up hundreds of dollars apart across a year.

We do it the other way around. The management percentage scales smoothly with weekly rent, so a higher-value property pays proportionally less, with no cliff edges between bands. Property condition reports, final bond inspections, end of financial year statements, arrears protection through Barclay MIS, insurance claim management, title searches and admin are all included at no charge. Rent is disbursed to you the same day it clears, not held until the end of the month.

If you have more than one property with us, we average the weekly rents to find your base tier, deduct 0.25% for each additional property, and apply that single blended rate to every property in the portfolio, with a floor of 6%.

The calculator below works out your exact figure, and the full schedule sets out every line item including the one-off charges. There is also a side-by-side tool if you have a competing quote to compare. If you would rather just talk it through, ask for a free appraisal and you will get a rent figure and a fee figure in the same conversation.
