When it comes to property management, the only real way to make a true comparison of what you're paying is to include everything. Here at Your Local Property Managers, we keep it simple by using a flat fee of 8.5% + GST on rental income only.

As we believe in transparency and simplicity, we've designed a calculator to help you see exactly what you're currently paying as a percentage of your weekly rent. This ensures you're comparing apples with apples. Once you know the percentage you're truly paying, the next question is: do you get the same service for less? We often hear the argument that you get what you pay for, and it's true. That's why we work on a percentage of rent only; if you're not earning rental income on your property, then we aren't getting paid.

We don't charge a letting fee or for advertising, so the longer it takes to advertise and tenant your property, the longer we must cover costs with no return. The same applies to ensuring we select the best tenant; if we don't, we're out of pocket for tribunal fees, vetting, and another round of advertising.

What better incentive is there for a property manager to find the best tenant and stay on top of everything?
