What these figures mean

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. 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

A property team for the whole journey.

Start with the decision that matters to you now. We connect the next steps and make the responsibilities clear.

01

Prepare the property

Discuss renovation, granny-flat and rental options against the actual property. Confirm the necessary practitioners, approvals and written scope before work begins.

02

Find the right tenant

Plan advertising, applications, screening and the tenancy documents. Review the rental position with the property condition and local market in view.

03

Keep the rental running

Coordinate rent collection, inspections, maintenance, records and landlord–renter communication through the tenancy.

04

Transfer with a plan

Review the existing management agreement and arrange the records, tenant communication, bond and ledger handover needed for a considered transfer.

Your next questions, answered.

What does OptimaRea manage?

We manage standard rental houses, main-house and granny-flat arrangements, and multi-tenancy rentals. The property’s approved use, access, services and tenancy responsibilities need to be checked separately.

What areas do you cover?

Our management service covers Melbourne and selected regional Victorian properties. Discuss the property address with the team to confirm service scope and local arrangements.

How are management fees calculated?

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. Review the fee details and confirm the complete engagement scope before appointing us.

Are the portfolio rents a forecast for my property?

No. They describe eligible current leases in the connected portfolio, using the sample and source dates shown. Property suitability, local rents, vacancy and operating costs vary.

Can you help with an existing property manager?

Yes. We can review the transfer requirements and coordinate the tenancy records, communication, bond and account handover under the existing agreement.
