How We Price It
Leased Beats Listed
An advertised rent is an asking price. Some of those properties lease at that figure, some sit empty for weeks and come down, and the portals don’t tell you which. So we start from what similar properties close to yours have actually leased for recently, and how long each one took.
Then we adjust. A renovated kitchen, a second bathroom or off-street parking earns more; tired carpet and no air conditioning earn less. That’s why we ask about the property, and look through it where we can, before we put a number in writing.
Timing matters too. A lease that ends when few people are moving can cost weeks, so we look at when your property will reach the market, and at how many similar rentals it will be competing with.
What Sets The Rent
Six Things Tenants Pay For
The evidence we weigh, roughly in the order it moves the figure.
Recent comparable leases
Same type, similar size, close by and signed recently. The closer the match, the more it counts.
Condition
Kitchen, bathroom, floors and paint. Tenants compare what they see at the inspection, not the floor plan.
Features people ask for
Off-street parking, heating and cooling, storage, a yard or balcony, and whether pets can be considered.
Street and position
Two houses in one suburb can rent quite differently: a busy road, a school zone or a short walk to transport all show up.
Timing
When the property comes to market, and how many similar rentals are listed nearby at the same time.
Presentation
Clean, well lit and well photographed. The first inspection happens online, on the listing.
Your Written Appraisal
What You Get In Writing
One document you can keep, compare and take to your lender or accountant.
The Weekly Rent
The rent we expect your property to lease for, and the comparable leases behind it. In South Australia a rental is advertised at one fixed rent, not a range, and agents can’t invite offers above it, so getting this figure right matters.
What Would Lift It
The changes worth making before you lease, and the ones that won’t pay for themselves. Sometimes it’s a deep clean and a coat of paint; sometimes it’s nothing at all.
Our Fees, Quoted
Our all-inclusive management fee, with no admin, inspection or statement fees, and the leasing costs (letting fee, advertising, lease renewal), all in writing before you sign anything.
How our fees work
The Question Everyone Asks
How Much Rent Can I Get?
The honest answer: the most a good tenant will pay for your property, as it is, this month. Not the highest rent in the street, and not what the neighbours got before the market moved.
Pricing high looks good on paper. Then every empty week costs a full week of rent you never get back, and the listing goes stale. A rent set right usually leases sooner to a better field of applicants, and often earns more across the year.
If we think your number is too high, we’ll say so and show you why. If you’re working out whether a property stacks up as an investment, run the figures through our rental yield calculator.

Appraisal Questions
Rental Appraisals: FAQs
Is the rental appraisal really free?
Yes. There is no charge and no obligation to have us manage the property. We do it because most landlords who like the way we price a rental go on to ask us to lease and manage it, and the ones who don’t still leave with a figure they can use.
How do you work out what my property will rent for?
We start with what similar properties nearby have actually leased for recently, not what is advertised. Then we adjust for your property’s condition and features, where it sits in the suburb, and the time of year it will be on the market.
Is the rent you quote guaranteed?
No one can guarantee a rent; the market decides. What we can do is give you a figure backed by current leases and tell you how confident we are in it. Once the property is advertised, we report on the enquiries and inspections, and if the response says the price is wrong, we tell you early, before weeks are lost.
Can I use the appraisal for a loan application?
Many lenders ask for a rental appraisal from an agent when you borrow against an investment property. Ask your lender or broker what they need, tell us when you request the appraisal, and we’ll set it out in writing for them.
My property already has a tenant. Can I still get an appraisal?
Yes. It tells you where the current rent sits against the market. If it is below, how much and how often the rent can go up for a sitting tenant is set by South Australian law, and our rent increase calculator works through the rules. If you are thinking of moving your management to us, see how switching works.
How long is an appraisal good for?
It reflects the market on the day we write it. Rents move, and so does the number of similar properties competing with yours. If a few months pass before you are ready to lease, ask us to check it again; it costs nothing.
