Property management,
done properly.
Founder-led. No lock-in contracts. No juniors. Just one experienced team managing your investment the way you would, if you had the time.
of the Year
The work is in the keeping, not the leasing.
Wherever you are in your landlord journey.
Most of our owners come to us in one of these five situations. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Your first investment, set up properly from day one.
"I just bought my first investment property. I don't know what I don't know."
A lot of our owners are buying their first investment. We'll walk you through the first 90 days in plain English: tax depreciation referrals, broker introductions, compliance handled before you can worry about it, and a check-in every quarter so nothing falls through the cracks. Ask the basic questions. We'd rather you ask now than guess later.
Get a free appraisal for your first investmentDistance is not a barrier.
"I'm moving to Brisbane in six weeks. I need to know my Perth home is in safe hands."
Many of our owners live outside WA. Run your appraisal in person before you leave, or via video call afterwards. Every authority signs by DocuSign, every routine inspection includes a 360° walkthrough you can review from anywhere, the MyPlace app keeps you in the loop on your phone, and our after-hours service handles tenant emergencies in any time zone.
Talk to us about an interstate handoverYou weren't planning to be a landlord. We can take it from here.
"I've inherited a Perth property and I'm not sure if I want to rent it or sell it."
A free, no-obligation conversation about your options. Hold and rent, hold and decide later, or sell now via one of our trusted partners. We can take the handover from probate solicitors, work out what the property would rent for, and give you a sales appraisal alongside, so you have both numbers before you decide. Take your time.
Talk to Daria about your optionsWe handle the switch, you stay out of it.
"My current property manager has been disappointing. I want a change but the handover sounds painful."
Most transitions complete in a few business days, and you don't have to speak to your old agency at all. We serve notice on the outgoing PM, collect the file, verify lease, rent and compliance, lodge the bond transfer, and introduce ourselves to your tenant. You sign one document and we take it from there. Locked into a contract? Talk to us about your situation, we'll help you think it through.
See how the switch worksThree or more properties? One direct contact for all of them.
"I have three investment properties across two agencies. I want to consolidate."
Multi-property landlords get one direct line, one MyPlace dashboard for every property, and one Daria thinking about the portfolio as a whole. Consolidated reporting at tax time, portfolio cash flow analysis, depreciation across every property, and buyer's agent introductions if you're adding to the portfolio. Three properties or thirteen, we treat the portfolio as one job.

I started this agency to do the job properly.
A boutique agency, founder-led on purpose.
Before founding Local Property Partners, Daria managed a portfolio of around 250 properties at a large Perth agency. The vast majority she had never physically walked through. She built LPP to do it the other way, with a carefully grown portfolio, founder-led service, and one point of contact from appraisal to bond return.
Today Local Property Partners has over $50 million in Perth residential investments under management, spanning the full Perth metro from Rockingham to Two Rocks plus the northern coastal corridor through Lancelin. We are open to new landlords. See how our property management service works or read more about Daria and the agency.
Property management that feels different
from day one.
Most agencies make property management feel like a maze. We've reduced it to six things you'll feel from the first phone call.
A real person, every time you call.
No call centre. No "PM of the month." You get a direct line to your property manager from the day you sign, and that doesn't change at the end of the month.
Every charge, approved by you first.
Property condition reports and final bond inspections at $0. No surprise line items on your statement. The live fee calculator shows your exact numbers in under a minute.
Your property, visible 24/7.
The MRI MyPlace owner app shows every invoice, every maintenance job, every inspection report, every tenancy detail. Real-time, on your phone, whenever you want.
If we miss it, we cover the fine.
Where scheduling a compliance inspection is our responsibility, smoke alarms, RCDs, pool safety, routine inspections, and we fail to book it in time, Daria personally covers any resulting regulatory fine issued against you. No cap. No excuses.
Rent that keeps up with the market.
We diary every lease and review your rent before each renewal, with comparable market data and a recommended position. No more rents drifting below market because no one looked.
50+ on-demand services, in one hub.
Mortgage reviews, building inspections, lease renewals, cash flow analysis, and our trusted referral network. A landlord-facing services hub most agencies don't offer. Take a look.

How we compare to typical agencies.
Useful if you're switching from another property manager. If this is your first investment, the table doubles as a checklist for what to look for in a good one. Not every agency operates the way the right column describes, but most of what's there is what we see when new owners come over to us.

Your property deserves
better than phone photos.
Every listing gets the full treatment, included in your management fee. Better marketing leases faster and attracts better applicants. We don't charge it as an extra.
Professional photography
Specialist real-estate photographer. Twilight shots where warranted. Your property on realestate.com.au stops the scroll.
360° virtual tours
Interactive walkthroughs prospective tenants can explore before viewing. Self-qualifies applicants and opens your property to interstate tenants and expats.
Floor plan redraws
Where a builder's floor plan can be provided, we have it professionally redrawn for the listing. Helps tenants visualise the layout, room flow and furniture placement before they inspect.
Signboards where possible
A signboard out front drives local interest, walk-up enquiries, and word-of-mouth from neighbours. Included where the property type, council and strata rules allow.
Co-living: more income from the same four walls.
A room-by-room strategy suited to larger homes with the right layout. Higher income, managed properly, priced honestly. Currently available north of Perth CBD, including Joondalup, Wanneroo, Clarkson, Tapping, Landsdale, Stirling, Beechboro, Morley and Mirrabooka.
Whole-property lease, single tenancy agreement.
Average $300 per room, six individual tenancy agreements. Real Tapping property, 2025.
A worked example from one property under management, not a projection or guarantee. Figure is gross uplift before fees, expected vacancy between room lets, higher utility costs (typically landlord-paid in co-living), and furnishing. Council approvals may be required. Outcomes vary by layout, council area, occupancy, and tenant mix. Seek independent financial advice.
Tenant experience is your advantage.
A good tenant who stays five years is worth more than the highest rent. We work hard to find them and keep them, because that's what protects your asset.
Thorough screening
Eight verification checks before a tenant reaches your property. Stability, suitability and affordability, never just speed.
Structured onboarding
Every tenant gets a clear welcome pack, walkthrough, and direct line to their property manager from day one.
Proactive check-ins
We stay in touch through the life of the tenancy, not just when something goes wrong. Issues addressed before they grow.
Smooth transitions
When a tenant moves out we manage the exit, bond, and re-let promptly. Minimal vacancy, maximum continuity.
