The Perth property manager landlords actually recommend.
Most landlords come to us with a version of the same story. Weeks without a response. Maintenance that went nowhere. Rent that was never reviewed. Charges that appeared without explanation. We built Local Property Partners to fix every one of those things.
The work is in the keeping, not the leasing.
The problems with most Perth property managers.
These are not complaints about bad luck. They are the predictable result of an industry model built around volume, not service. If any sound familiar, you are not alone.
You can't get anyone on the phone.
The most common complaint Perth landlords raise when they contact us. Days without a response. Calls that go to voicemail and never come back. The sense that your property manager is unreachable the moment something actually matters.
A different person every time you call.
High staff turnover inside large Perth agencies means landlords re-introduce themselves on every call. The new person doesn't know your property, your tenant, or your history. Everything starts again.
Maintenance requests that disappear.
A request goes in. Nothing happens. The tenant follows up. Still nothing. You follow up. Your manager says they're looking into it. Eventually you sort it out yourself and wonder why you're paying a management fee at all.
Rent that hasn't moved in years.
Under WA law, rent can only increase once every 12 months. Miss the window and you've left money on the table for another year. Perth rents have moved significantly since 2021. Landlords whose managers never proactively review and adjust are materially worse off.
Charges on your statement you didn't agree to.
EOFY report fees. Title search charges. Admin fees. Database check surcharges. Invoice processing levies. These extras are common at traditional Perth agencies and are often buried in monthly statements without explanation.
Feeling like the tenant's manager, not yours.
One of the most consistent themes when Perth landlords talk about why they're switching agencies. The sense that your property manager is more focused on keeping the tenant happy than protecting your investment. Your manager works for you. That should not feel unusual.
Built specifically to fix every one of those problems.
Not promises. Specific operational commitments that address each frustration above, and that you can hold us to from day one.
You always know who your manager is.
Direct access to Daria. No rotating juniors. No re-introducing yourself every quarter. You get a named, consistent contact from day one. This is foundational, not optional.
You hear from us before you need to ask.
Inspection reports, rent review assessments, maintenance updates, and market changes are communicated proactively. You should never have to chase us for information about your own property.
Rent reviewed before the window closes.
We start every rent review well before the 12-month window closes. Adjustments are based on current REIWA market data. Missing the window does not happen under our management.
Every inspection done by an experienced manager.
Not a junior. Not a contractor. Daria personally walks every property for the property condition report and final bond inspection. Both are included at $0.
Maintenance tracked through Tapi, nothing lost.
Every maintenance request is logged, tracked, and followed through using structured workflows. Vetted contractors. Clear timelines. You can see the status of every open request through your owner portal at any time.
Transparent fees. Nothing buried.
Most LPP landlords land between 8% and 10% all-inclusive. Property condition reports, final bond inspections, and EOFY statements at no extra charge. No title search fees. No database check surcharges. No admin fees. Every charge explained upfront.
Most landlords think switching is harder than it is.
It isn't. We handle the entire transition for you. You forward one letter and we do the rest. No disruption to your tenant. No gap in management.
We review your current arrangement.
We look at your existing management agreement, fee structure, and what you're currently getting. No pressure. Just an honest comparison so you can make an informed decision.
You forward a single letter.
We prepare the termination notice for you. All you do is forward it to your current manager. That is the full extent of your involvement in the administrative side.
We handle the entire transition.
We liaise with the outgoing manager, collect keys and documentation, notify your tenant, set up your owner portal, and conduct an initial property review. No disruption to your tenant.
Management begins, properly.
From day one you have a named manager, live portal access, and know exactly what is happening at your property. The difference is usually noticeable within the first week.
What Perth landlords say about working with Daria.
Every word real and unedited.
We have worked with Daria as our rental property manager for more than 2 years now and our experience has been great from day one. She is very professional, responsive, and very easy to deal with. Communication is clear and prompt, and everything is handled smoothly, be it inspections, lease signing, regular maintenance, break leases, problem tenants, payments, or statements. What stood out most has been Daria's honesty and reliability. She is genuine, acts with integrity, and follows through with whatever she says. It's refreshing to work with someone so trustworthy in the rental market. Daria's systems make it very easy to keep track of all payments and receipts. The next day payments are such a blessing. And all these are standard inclusions, no extra fees. Highly recommend Daria to any investor looking to rent in Perth.
Working with Daria has been an excellent experience. From the beginning, she made the leasing process straightforward and stress-free. She is clear, organised, and always available to answer questions. 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.
We've had a great experience working with Daria as the manager of our investment property. She's professional, responsive, and across the details. Communication is clear and timely, issues are dealt with proactively, and we always feel that the property is being managed with care rather than just processed. It's obvious she takes ownership of her role and looks out for both the landlord and tenant.
While our property was still settling, Daria had already started working on finding a quality tenant. By the time we received the keys, the house was leased the very next day, which speaks volumes about her efficiency, market knowledge, and dedication. Her communication is excellent. She keeps you informed every step of the way, and she genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for her clients.
My husband and I are rent-vesters and have rented from Daria in two different houses. We find her to be very responsive, caring, and methodical. She ensures any question or concern is sent to the property owners and continues to follow up and resolve issues in a timely manner. She provides a good blend between looking out for the interests of the owners and the tenants.
Daria is a breath of fresh air in real estate. She has made the process of renting out our house so easy and took care of absolutely everything for us. Daria went above and beyond to look after us, from guiding us to choose the right tenants to ensuring every query we have is met with confidence and knowledge.
