Rental market woes in WA

Miranda Holt in her article from the 'Whingeing Pom' Magazine says
'The rental market in WA takes some time for a Brit to get their heads around.'

.....'Perth’s property market is out of control. Like bees to a honey pot, there are many unscrupulous landlords keen to make the most of the city’s El Dorado status at the moment, running roughshod over poor, innocent Poms with their handfuls of dollars, desperate to find a home to rent. Those new to town, or unwilling to take the plunge into the sales market until they’ve found their feet, have to take their chances with rentals. As ever, reams of unnecessary paperwork are the order of the day which do nothing more than paper over the wildly unregulated and unethical practices doled out by many landlords and estate agents alike. '


Miranda is correct that the market takes time for you to get your head around, but it doesn't have to be this painful. If you have any questions about the rental or property market over here, then drop us a line, John works in real estate (yes he is one of the ethical ones mentioned in the article), and we have had some first hand experience of renting, so maybe we can help you.
