Buying in Perth
How we buy investment property in Perth
Perth has had one of the strongest runs of any capital since 2020, so the price you pay matters more now than it did a few years ago. Good stock still moves quickly, and with no cooling-off period in WA your finance and inspection conditions have to be in the offer from the start. We set those conditions, test every property against rents and vacancy in its area, and negotiate with the selling agent on your behalf.
We start with what you want the property to do, then test Perth against every other market that fits your budget, so you know it's the right place before we search it. When it is, we search on and off market, have every shortlisted property inspected in person, negotiate with the selling agent and manage the contract through to settlement.

Where investors buy in Perth
Perth isn't one market. These are the parts of the city investors most often weigh up, and the trade-offs between them. Which one suits you depends on your budget, goals and timeframe.
Outer growth councils
Wanneroo, Armadale, Kwinana and Serpentine-Jarrahdale have the lowest entry prices and have grown fastest over 10 years. New estates add supply, so we look closely at what's being built nearby.
Middle ring
Councils such as Stirling, Bayswater, Belmont and Canning have established houses within commuting distance of the city, the airport and new Metronet stations.
Western suburbs and the city
Claremont, Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove and the City of Perth have the highest values and grew the least over 10 years, with yields to match.
What we check
Most Perth houses are double brick, but termites, asbestos in older homes and the age of wiring and plumbing all get checked before you commit.
Buying investment property as a Perth investor
Perth investors know their market can move on its own cycle, often in step with the resources sector rather than with Sydney or Melbourne. Some local investors want to keep building in Perth while conditions suit their strategy. Others want exposure to markets on the east coast to balance a portfolio that is heavily tied to Western Australia. Knowing which of those suits your situation starts with your borrowing capacity, existing holdings and timeframe.
Distance is no barrier to working with us. As a national buyers agency, we work with Perth clients over video calls and shared documents at times that suit the time difference. Every property we put forward has been inspected in person, and you receive a full video walk-through and photos before deciding whether to proceed.
If the right purchase is in Perth, we look at the details that are specific to Western Australia, including how the title is structured. If it is in another state, we take care of the travel and the local legwork so you do not have to. You approve every step, and nothing is signed without your say.
Time difference handled
Meetings and updates are scheduled around Perth time, not the east coast business day.
Balance a WA-heavy portfolio
We look at how markets in other states could reduce reliance on a single economy.
WA title types
Green title, survey-strata and built strata work differently, and the difference affects costs and control.
No travel needed
Interstate purchases are inspected for you, with walk-through videos and reports shared online.
Buying property in WA: rules investors should know
No cooling-off
There's no cooling-off period in WA. Your offer becomes a binding contract once the seller signs, so finance and building inspection conditions must be written into it.
Offer and acceptance
Offers are made on an Offer and Acceptance form. Any change in a counter-offer must be initialled and dated by both sides.
Settlement agents
Settlement is usually handled by a licensed settlement agent rather than a solicitor.
Tenancy rules
WA's 2024 tenancy reforms limit rent increases to once every 12 months, ban rent bidding and let tenants keep pets in most cases.
General information only, current as at October 2026. Your conveyancer or solicitor will confirm how the rules apply to your contract.
Stamp duty in WA
Transfer duty on an investment property in WA at 2026-27 general rates:
- $600,000 purchase$22,515
- $800,000 purchase$32,316
- $1,000,000 purchase$42,616
Buyers agent fees in Perth

How much does a buyers agent cost in Perth?
Do you only buy investment property in Perth?
How much is stamp duty on an investment property in Perth?
Is there a cooling-off period when buying property in WA?
How much money do I need to start?
You need a minimum of $100,000 in cash or equity, and our minimum purchase price is $400,000.
Should I buy now or should I wait?
It depends on your finances, borrowing capacity and goals more than on timing the market. Waiting has a cost if well-chosen property keeps rising, and buying has risks if it stretches your finances. On the discovery call we look at your position and tell you honestly whether buying now makes sense for you.
What is the average price of the properties you buy?
We source properties from $400,000, our minimum purchase price. The final price depends on your personalised strategy and goals.
How long does the process take from the discovery call?
If you qualify to work with us, the next step will be a 45-minute Strategy Session with one of our advisors. From here, it takes 4 to 12 weeks from signing up to settlement, depending on your criteria, goals, and strategic brief.
Do you recommend accountants, brokers, property managers, lawyers, and tax agents?
Yes, we have recommendations for all of those partners. As part of our service, we find the right team for you, and your property depending on the location of the investment. We handle the admin so that this is seamless for you.
What happens if I don't like the property that you present?
Typically, this does not happen since we spend so much time at the start of the journey developing a plan and understanding your needs and how they will fit into your property portfolio. When we create a Strategic Brief, we are extremely clear about the results and do not deliver any properties that do not fit that brief. We typically look at 60 properties before we present the ONE to you. So you can be sure, we are sure.
