Enter your current fees. See them side by side.
Every agency structures fees differently. Enter what you're currently paying and compare it directly against our schedule. No assumptions, just your numbers versus ours.
Figures are indicative only. One-off and per-tenancy costs (PCR, FBI, advertising, letting fee) are amortised over one year for comparison. All amounts include GST where applicable. Actual fees depend on your specific management agreement. We make no claim about what other agencies charge. Enter your own figures from your current agreement.
Ask your agency these questions
Fee schedules vary widely. Some costs appear in the fine print rather than the headline rate. It is worth checking whether your current agreement includes any of the following.
- Property Condition Report (PCR) Is the ingoing inspection charged separately? Market rate is typically $250 to $350.
- Final Bond Inspection Is the vacate inspection included or charged on top? Often $150 to $250 per tenancy.
- EOFY statements Does your agency charge a fee to produce end-of-year financial statements for your accountant?
- Monthly admin fee Some agencies charge a flat fee each month on top of the management rate.
- Debt recovery / arrears Is professional arrears support included, or is there an activation fee or annual subscription?
- Title search and database checks Small per-tenancy charges that are easy to miss in a management agreement.
- Inspection frequency and who attends Are inspections conducted by an experienced property manager or a junior? How many per year, and at what cost?
- Lock-in contract Does your agreement require a minimum term, and what are the exit conditions?

Frequently asked questions
Property management fees in Perth typically range from 7% to 10% of weekly rent collected, plus GST. Local Property Partners uses a scaled structure: 8.0% for rents under $500/week, reducing in steps to 6.0% for rents of $1,400/week and above. There are no additional charges for EOFY statements, title searches, database checks, Property Condition Reports or Final Bond Inspections. Use the fee calculator above to estimate your specific costs.
The work involved in managing a property does not increase proportionally with rent. A $1,400/week property requires similar systems, reporting and compliance work as a $500/week property. Charging a flat percentage regardless of rent is not a fair reflection of actual service cost. Our tiered rate means higher-value landlords are not over-charged relative to the service being delivered.
The management fee includes end-to-end property management, proactive compliance oversight, rental income optimisation, tenant communication, monthly reporting, live owner dashboards, same-day rent disbursement, Tapi maintenance platform access and professional debt recovery support. There are no additional charges for EOFY statements, title searches, database checks, Property Condition Reports or Final Bond Inspections.
No. Both the ingoing Property Condition Report (PCR) and the Final Bond Inspection (FBI) are conducted at no charge to the owner, by an experienced property manager. The market rate for a PCR is typically $250 to $350, and $150 to $250 for a Final Bond Inspection. These are included as part of our service.
Letting fees at Local Property Partners scale with rent: 2 weeks rent for properties up to $799/week, reducing to 1.75 weeks for $800 to $1,099/week, 1.5 weeks for $1,100 to $1,499/week, and 1 week for $1,500/week and above. The advertising package is $400 plus GST, and the Property Condition Report is included at no charge. Use the leasing calculator above for your specific rent.
All routine inspections are conducted by an experienced property manager, not a junior staff member or contractor. Each inspection includes a written report, maintenance recommendations and a 360° virtual tour. We offer 2, 3 or 4 inspections per year at $100 plus GST per inspection.
Switching to Local Property Partners does not involve a fee from our side. Your current agency may have a notice period or termination provisions in your management agreement, which we can help you review. We handle the transition logistics to make the process as straightforward as possible.
No. Local Property Partners does not require lock-in contracts. We believe the service should speak for itself and owners should have the freedom to make changes if their circumstances require it.
A rental appraisal is an assessment of what your property could achieve on the current Perth rental market. Rental appraisals through Local Property Partners are provided at no charge and without obligation.
