Why investors choose Locara
Owners choose Locara for our dedicated focus on property management and the experience we apply to every property in our care.
Our approach is straightforward: we keep thorough records, communicate clearly, and provide timely updates on your investment property. Our attention stays on the day-to-day details that support your investment.
If you value practical advice, reliable oversight, and direct communication, Locara offers a steady and attentive service for your investment property.
What's included in our property management
Rent is tracked daily, with prompt follow-up on any overdue payments. You receive written updates if arrears arise, so you are always aware of your property's income status.
All tenant requests and enquiries are managed directly by Locara, with records kept on file. If your input is needed, we provide the relevant details and options.
In most cases applications are processed using Snug, which uses AI to verify ID, assess affordability and review rental history and references. We also conduct additional checks with tenancy databases such as TICA. We provide a summary of shortlisted applicants, including notes on potential risk and suitability.
Maintenance requests are reviewed for urgency and progress is tracked through to completion. We do not wait until the end of a tenancy to address repairs. You are kept informed about what can be scheduled immediately, when quotes are needed, and which repairs might be best timed for a lease renewal or vacancy. This proactive approach helps maintain your property's condition and tenant satisfaction.
Before a lease expires, we assess rent and lease terms by considering local market data, the tenancy's track record, and your longer-term goals. We can provide a rental strategy or cost-benefit analysis if you are considering re-listing, and our recommendations are always supported by evidence.
We typically complete four routine inspections per year, as permitted under the RTRA Act. Each inspection report includes written notes and photos, with comprehensive 360-degree imagery provided annually. Reports highlight urgent issues, items to monitor, and offer a concise summary for your records.
When a decision is required, such as tenant selection, maintenance approval, or lease renewal, you receive a summary of key facts, relevant risks, and our practical recommendation to help you make an informed choice.
Switching to Locara is simple
Changing property managers shouldn't create extra work for you. Once approved, Locara manages the transition, reviews your agreement, confirms notice requirements, and coordinates directly with the outgoing agency, keeping you informed when your input is needed.
We organise tenancy files, keys, and records, introduce ourselves to your tenant, and check the current rent, lease, maintenance, and inspection status. If you are chasing updates or waiting on unresolved maintenance, it may be time to consider switching.
