Leederville Property Management
Hands-on property management for Leederville investors, matched to how fast this suburb moves.
Leederville rents move fast, cafes, bars, an independent cinema and a train station all within a few minutes' walk create constant demand. That same density means more turnover, more competition for good tenants, and less room for a slow or generic approach. We manage Leederville properties the way the suburb actually operates, quickly and with genuine local knowledge.

A suburb this busy needs a property manager who actually knows it.
Leederville sits inside the City of Vincent, just a few kilometres from the CBD, and it punches well above its size. Oxford Street carries most of the suburb's character, cafes, bars and boutique shops, anchored by the Art Deco Luna cinema that's been running since 1927. A few streets over, Leederville Oval hosts WAFL football, and the train station sits right at the edge of it all, so almost nothing in the suburb is more than a short walk from a bar, the cinema or the platform.
The rental stock reflects that density. Period cottages from the suburb's early development sit alongside newer apartment blocks, and a lot of tenants here are young professionals and creatives who'd rather be close to the action than have a big backyard. Properties here tend to change tenants more often than in a purely residential suburb, so filling a vacancy quickly and picking the right tenant the first time both matter more here than they would somewhere quieter.
We also manage properties in Mount Lawley, Inglewood, North Perth and Mount Hawthorn, so we understand how this tenant pool compares with the suburbs around it, not just how it looks in isolation.
What actually keeps a Leederville rental full and well cared for.
An inner-city rental with cafes, bars and a cinema on its doorstep has different pressure points to a suburban family home. Here's how each part of our service is shaped around that.
|
01
Leasing & MarketingA studio a short walk from Oxford Street and a character cottage a few streets back attract completely different tenants. We pitch each property to the audience it actually suits, rather than running one generic campaign across every listing. |
02
Curated Tenant SelectionTenants here tend to change more often than in a typical residential suburb, so screening matters even more. Every applicant goes through identity, income and rental history checks so you're not signing up for another vacancy in twelve months. |
03
Income & ArrearsRent is monitored daily, not reviewed once a month, and any missed payment is followed up immediately. You choose whether your statements land mid-month or end of month. |
|
04
Proactive Property CareApartments and older cottages come with different maintenance demands, from strata-related repairs to heritage-era plumbing. Requests go through TAPI to trades who know the difference and won't waste time figuring it out on site. |
05
Meticulous InspectionsQuarterly inspections, a full written report and 360-degree imaging each time, so you can see the actual condition of your property between visits rather than taking someone's word for it. |
06
Compliance & StrategyBeyond WA tenancy legislation and biannual rent reviews, we track how rental demand across the suburb is shifting, new apartment developments, changing tenant profiles, so your rent stays realistic rather than stuck at last year's figure. |

You'll deal with the same property manager throughout, someone who knows your property specifically, backed by an owner portal you can check whenever you want an update.

FAQS
-
Yes, in a good way. Apartments in this part of Leederville often come with strata considerations, noise-related tenancy issues and tenants who move on sooner than in a standalone house. We factor all of that into how we screen tenants and manage the property day to day.
-
It's a strong one, largely because of the cafes, bars, Luna cinema and train station that keep the suburb busy day and night. The trade-off is that tenants tend to stay for shorter stretches than in a quieter residential suburb, which is exactly where good tenant screening and fast re-leasing matter most.
-
Our management fee is 8.8 percent including GST. Ask us for a full written breakdown so you know exactly what's included before you sign anything.
-
We deal with these directly and quickly, working with the tenant to resolve the issue and keeping you informed throughout. Being upfront about expectations at the start of a tenancy also helps avoid most problems before they start.
-
Yes. We regularly take over management partway through an existing lease. We'll review the current arrangement and manage the handover so the change is as smooth as possible for your tenant.
-
Yes, we offer letting-only services for owners who want help finding a reliable tenant but prefer to handle the ongoing tenancy themselves.
-
You'll get a report after every quarterly inspection plus updates whenever something needs your input, all from the same dedicated property manager rather than whoever happens to pick up the phone.
-
Let us know in writing. If the issue isn't resolved within two business days, our Gold Seal Service Guarantee means you'll receive your next fortnight's management fee free, or a complimentary professional inspection of your property.
