Case Study: Porter Matthews Victoria Park Rents a 3-Bedroom Home in Beckenham, WA to a Working Couple
Porter Matthews Victoria Park recently achieved another strong rental result with the successful leasing of a three-bedroom, one-bathroom home in Beckenham, Western Australia. The property, which featured a blend of classic character and modern updates, was rented to a working couple seeking a spacious, low-maintenance home in a convenient and well-connected location.
This case study explores how Porter Matthews Victoria Park’s property management team marketed, presented, and leased this charming Beckenham residence, delivering an excellent outcome for both the landlord and tenants.
The Property
This Beckenham home perfectly balances traditional charm with contemporary comfort. From the street, it presented beautifully, with an inviting front porch that overlooked the well-maintained front gardens, setting the tone for the warmth and character that continued throughout the property.
Inside, the home offered three generous bedrooms and a single, well-appointed bathroom, ideal for a couple looking for extra space or a home office setup. The standout feature was the renovated kitchen, equipped with a gas oven, ample cupboard space, and a functional layout suited to modern cooking and entertaining. The kitchen’s thoughtful design complemented the home’s character while delivering the convenience today’s tenants expect.
Freshly painted throughout, the property felt bright, clean, and welcoming. The high ceilings enhanced the sense of space, while the polished Jarrah floorboards added warmth and timeless appeal. Importantly, there were no carpets, offering a low-allergen environment and easy maintenance, an attractive feature for many renters.
The home offered multiple living areas, including a formal lounge room featuring an ornamental fireplace and a beautiful decorative centrepiece that retained the property’s vintage charm. In addition, there were two other separate living spaces, providing flexibility for tenants to use as an activity room, sitting area, or even a second lounge. This versatility was one of the reasons the property appealed so strongly to the working couple who ultimately leased it.
Outside, the home continued to impress. The pergola area, shaded by an established grape vine, created a peaceful and private space for outdoor dining and relaxation. It provided the perfect setting for enjoying Perth’s mild evenings or hosting casual weekend gatherings.
The property also featured an outdoor laundry conveniently attached to the house, complete with a second toilet, enhancing functionality for everyday living. With an open car bay that accommodated 3–4 vehicles, the home was ideally suited for tenants who valued convenience and accessibility.
The Marketing Strategy
Porter Matthews Victoria Park’s property management team developed a marketing strategy designed to highlight the property’s unique charm and practical features while attracting quality long-term tenants.
Professional photography was used to capture the home’s key selling points, the polished Jarrah floorboards, spacious living areas, and character details like the bay-fronted porch and ornamental fireplace. The listing description emphasised the home’s fresh presentation, flexible layout, and outdoor entertaining appeal.
The property was promoted across major online rental platforms, including realestate.com.au and Domain, as well as on social media to reach working professionals seeking rental homes in Perth’s southern suburbs. Porter Matthews Victoria Park’s extensive database of pre-screened tenants was also leveraged, ensuring the property was seen by renters already looking in Beckenham and nearby areas such as Kenwick, Cannington, and Thornlie.
The response was immediate. Within days of being listed, the property generated strong enquiry numbers and multiple inspection bookings. Feedback from attendees consistently highlighted the home’s character, spacious layout, and freshly renovated kitchen as major drawcards.
The Tenancy
Among the prospective tenants were a working couple who were relocating closer to their respective workplaces. They were drawn to the home’s charm and spaciousness, noting that it offered much more room and character than the modern apartments they had been considering.
The couple were particularly impressed by the separate living areas, which gave them flexibility to create individual work-from-home or relaxation zones. The renovated kitchen with its gas oven and ample storage was another standout feature, as they enjoyed cooking and entertaining.
They also appreciated the outdoor pergola and grape vine area, which provided a relaxing retreat at the end of a busy day. The fresh paintwork, high ceilings, and polished floorboards further enhanced the home’s appeal, giving it a clean and elegant feel.
After careful vetting and reference checks, Porter Matthews Victoria Park approved the couple’s tenancy on a 12-month lease, aligning with the landlord’s goal of securing reliable, long-term renters. The property was leased promptly after its first round of inspections, ensuring minimal vacancy and a strong rental return for the owner.
The Outcome
The leasing of this Beckenham home was a win-win outcome. The landlord was delighted with the efficiency of the process, the professionalism of the campaign, and the calibre of tenants secured. The tenants, in turn, were thrilled to find a home that offered comfort, charm, and functionality in a convenient location close to shops, schools, and transport links.
By focusing on presentation, communication, and targeted marketing, Porter Matthews Victoria Park was able to quickly match the right property with the right tenants.
