Rentals in Byford & Serpentine–Jarrahdale

The Shire of Serpentine–Jarrahdale sits on Perth's south-eastern edge. Byford and Whitby have filled with new family estates, while Mundijong, Serpentine, Jarrahdale and Oakford are still largely rural and semi-rural, with acreage, horses and bush blocks.

Those two halves need different reports. A Byford rental is mostly about recording near-new finishes; a rural lease in Oakford or Jarrahdale can include paddocks, stables, bores and long fence lines that all need to be on record.

What we look for here

• New family homes in Byford and Whitby: a detailed first PCR, because the property has no condition history before the first tenant.
• Acreage and equine properties: paddock fencing, stables, gates and bores noted and photographed where they're part of the lease.
• Bush blocks around Jarrahdale and Serpentine: firebreaks and cleared zones recorded at each inspection, since upkeep is often the tenant's job under the lease.
