Property Management Aubin Grove

Nimbu Realty provides property management in Aubin Grove for owners of houses and townhouses across the estate, and we also lease and sell here. Owners deal with the person actually managing the property rather than a call centre, because the client list is kept small enough for that to hold.

Aubin Grove sits in the City of Cockburn, roughly twenty five kilometres south of the Perth CBD, bordered by Atwell and Success to the north, Banjup to the east, Hammond Park to the west and Wandi to the south. What follows is what we look at when we take on a property here, and what owners ask us most often.

Figures below are from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census of Population and Housing, 2021, for the Aubin Grove State Suburb. They are the most recent official count available.

Population 6,786. Median age 33. There were 2,256 private dwellings, averaging 3.1 people and 3.7 bedrooms per dwelling. Separate houses made up 86.8 per cent of dwellings and semi detached, row or terrace housing 12.8 per cent. Of occupied dwellings, 59.9 per cent were owned with a mortgage and 23.7 per cent were rented. Couple families with children made up 63.5 per cent of families.

We have deliberately left the Census rent and mortgage figures off this page. They were collected in 2021 and presenting them in 2026 would invite a reader to treat them as current. Where you want a current rental figure for a specific property, that is what an appraisal is for.

Aubin Grove was approved as a suburb in 2003 and built out from there, so almost the entire stock is twenty years old or newer. That shapes the job in a few practical ways.

The homes are mostly four bedroom separate houses on modest lots, which puts the tenant pool squarely in the family bracket rather than the share house or young professional bracket that suits the inner suburbs. Families move less often, so a well managed property here tends to hold a tenant for longer, and a vacancy costs more when it does happen because the pool is narrower.

Younger homes also fail differently from older ones. The heavy items, roof, wiring and plumbing, are usually years away, while the things that do go are hot water systems, reticulation, oven elements, garage door motors and the seals and hinges that a growing family works hard. None of that is expensive on its own, and all of it is cheaper handled promptly than deferred.

Four things decide how a property here performs. We work through each of them before the property is advertised, not after.

Four bedroom family homes near a primary school and the freeway attract a particular kind of applicant. We screen on the things that actually predict a good tenancy, rental history, employment stability and the condition they left the last property in, and we tell you what we found rather than handing you a score.

The rent is set from what comparable properties in Aubin Grove and the adjoining suburbs have actually leased for recently, not from what is being asked. Asking prices tell you what did not work. We will tell you if we think a figure is optimistic, which is not always what an owner wants to hear.

On a home of this age much of what breaks is still within a builder warranty or a manufacturer warranty, and that is worth checking before a trade is booked. Where it is not, work goes through vetted contractors with the quote in front of you first, under the spending limit you set.

Routine inspections are carried out in line with the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 and the schedule agreed with you, and you get the report with photographs rather than a summary. Good records are what decide a bond dispute, and they have to exist before they are needed.

The service is the same one we run across Perth, applied to this suburb. Advertising and applications, tenant selection with the reasoning shown to you, bond lodgement, rent collection with arrears followed the day they occur, routine inspections with photographic reports, maintenance coordination within your limits, and monthly statements with an end of financial year package for your accountant.

Rent reviews are raised with you ahead of time rather than left to drift, since a property let below the market for three years costs more than any fee difference between agencies. Full detail is on the residential property management page.

If you are weighing up whether to keep a property or sell it, the honest answer depends on things we would need to look at with you: what it would rent for now, what it would sell for, what the holding costs are and whether the tenancy in place helps or hinders a sale.

We handle both sides, so there is no incentive to push you toward the one that suits us. Sales and leasing are covered on their own pages, and an appraisal is the sensible starting point either way.

Aubin Grove station opened on 23 April 2017 and sits in the median strip of the Kwinana Freeway on the border of Atwell and Success, with 1,948 regular parking bays. It is on the Mandurah line, which puts the Perth CBD within a direct train trip and is a genuine factor for tenants who commute.

For owners, the freeway access and the station are the two things worth naming in an advertisement, along with the school catchment. We cover the surrounding suburbs as well, and the suburbs we service page lists them.
