In the dynamic riverside suburb of East Perth, Porter Matthews Victoria Park recently secured a successful tenancy for a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. The property was leased to a group of professional adults seeking to share accommodation, reflecting the growing demand in Perth for well-located, modern homes suited to house-sharing arrangements.
This leasing success story highlights the agency’s sharp market awareness, streamlined processes, and ability to match quality tenants with high-value properties, providing strong returns for landlords while offering long-term stability and comfort for renters.
The Property: Spacious Inner-City Apartment Living
Located in a secure complex just minutes from the Swan River foreshore, this East Perth apartment ticked all the boxes for inner-city professionals. Featuring three generous bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an open-plan living and dining area, and a large balcony, the apartment offered both privacy and shared living functionality.
Each bedroom included built-in wardrobes, while the master suite boasted its own ensuite and private access to the balcony. The main bathroom came complete with a full-sized bath and separate shower—ideal for housemates who value their own routines.
The kitchen featured stainless steel appliances, stone benchtops, and ample cupboard space, making it suitable for shared meal prep or individual cooking. Additional comforts like reverse-cycle air conditioning, secure underground parking, and building amenities including a gym and pool made the apartment highly attractive to young working professionals.
The Landlord’s Brief
The owner of the apartment, an interstate investor, approached Porter Matthews Victoria Park with a clear objective: lease the property quickly to reliable, respectful tenants who would treat the apartment as their home and maintain its excellent condition.
Understanding that this type of property was ideal for house-sharing professionals, the property management team advised the landlord on the optimal rental price, marketing strategy, and leasing terms to attract the right audience. The flexibility to lease to housemates, rather than a single family, opened the door to a wider tenant pool.
Marketing Strategy and Inspections
Porter Matthews Victoria Park listed the apartment on all major rental platforms including realestate.com.au and Domain, supported by professional photography and a well-written description that emphasised the apartment’s key features, including:
- Equal-sized bedrooms ideal for shared living
- Two full bathrooms for privacy and convenience
- Central East Perth location with easy access to transport, cafes, and walking trails
The agency offered mid-week and weekend inspections to accommodate busy work schedules and allowed for private viewings where necessary. Interest in the property was immediate, with multiple inquiries from groups of working professionals, couples, and students.
Selecting the Right Tenants
After receiving a strong number of applications, the team carefully screened each applicant using a thorough reference check process, including employment verification, rental history, and financial suitability.
The successful tenants, a group of three professional adults working in health and finance, stood out for their stable incomes, excellent references, and clear communication. All had previous experience living in shared rental arrangements and demonstrated a proactive, respectful approach to co-tenancy.
They were particularly drawn to East Perth’s proximity to the CBD, public transport, and lifestyle amenities like Claisebrook Cove, local restaurants, and scenic walking paths along the river.
Lease Execution and Move-In
Once approved, the lease was drawn up with individual tenant agreements, providing clarity and security for all parties involved. Porter Matthews Victoria Park ensured the leasing process was simple and digital, allowing documents to be signed remotely and funds to be processed quickly.
A comprehensive property condition report was prepared before handover, documenting every fixture and surface to protect both landlord and tenants. The keys were handed over less than two weeks after the property was listed, an efficient turnaround that minimised vacancy for the owner.
