Mean combined weekly rent / address
Mean of 25 verified house + granny address pairs, out of 34 managed granny-flat addresses — current leases as at .
Main house and granny flat together; contracted rent before costs.
Mean weekly rent / occupied unit
Mean of 26 occupied units, out of 34 managed units at 12 addresses — current leases as at .
Contracted rent per occupied unit, before costs.
Owner-defined category: an address where we manage three or more units, or where any unit is numbered 3 or higher. A business classification, not a count of registered rooming houses.
Observed current contracted rents, normalised to a weekly equivalent. They are gross portfolio averages, before fees, vacancy, maintenance, rates or other costs—not a forecast for your property.
The house + granny figure averages the combined current rents of verified main-house and granny leases at the same address. Only complete eligible pairs contribute; an unverified or inactive counterpart is excluded.
The rooming figure is the mean weekly-equivalent rent per verified occupied rental unit in the owner-defined rooming management category: addresses where we manage three or more units, or where any unit is numbered 3 or higher (the whole address group is then counted). It is not the rent for an entire rooming house or proof of statutory registration.
Managed counts are current rental records, not a count of tenants or surveyed legal dwellings. The granny count can exceed the number of complete rent pairs.
FROM THE PLAN TO THE EVERYDAY
Start with the decision that matters to you now. We connect the next steps and make the responsibilities clear.
Discuss renovation, granny-flat and rental options against the actual property. Confirm the necessary practitioners, approvals and written scope before work begins.
Plan advertising, applications, screening and the tenancy documents. Review the rental position with the property condition and local market in view.
Coordinate rent collection, inspections, maintenance, records and landlord–renter communication through the tenancy.
Review the existing management agreement and arrange the records, tenant communication, bond and ledger handover needed for a considered transfer.
We manage standard rental houses, main-house and granny-flat arrangements, and multi-tenancy rentals in Melbourne and selected regional Victorian locations. The property’s approved use, access, services and tenancy responsibilities need to be checked separately.
As at 19 October 2026, the connected PropertyMe portfolio holds 322 managed rental units across 208 street-address groups. A unit is a current rental record with an active ownership; an address group is not a title search or a legal dwelling count. The leasing dashboard publishes each figure with its source date and method.
In our rental operations register, the median time from first inspection to rent-out is 12 days (mean 16.21 days), across 255 current rented records with complete dates; 29 eligible records lacked a date pair (as at 19 October 2026). This is not first advertising to signed lease, and it is not a prediction for your property.
Our management service covers Melbourne and selected regional Victorian properties. Discuss the property address with the team to confirm service scope and local arrangements.
The published management tiers are 4.90% + GST for a single tenancy, 6.90% + GST for dual occupancy, and 8.90% + GST for multi-tenancy, charged on rent collected.
