Rental allowance & rental market information for Perth, February 2018

Kent’s Rental Allowance Matrix for Perth (as of February 2018) is now available for download.

We have created this rental market information to provide human resources professionals with informed and reliable data that will allow them to make sound decisions on employee relocations. The information is broad, and yet specific enough for human resources departments to make effective choices about relocations and to allocate appropriate funds for employee house rent allowance.

To illustrate the ways in which the matrix can help tHR professionals, let’s take a look at the iconic Perth suburb of Scarborough.

It shows that there is a predominant age group of 15 to 24 years, and a large number of vacancies in two and three bedroom properties, suggesting it is a young area where students and young professionals share houses. This can be compared to City Beach which has a predominant age group of 0 to 14 years, with the highest vacancies in four bedroom properties, making this suburb more suited to an assignee with a young family.

You can also compare suburbs across price points, for example, it is cheaper to rent a one-bedroom property in East Perth ($287) than West Perth ($360).

You can find this depth and breadth of information across all the key areas and suburbs of Perth, from the inner-city to Nedlands, Como, Churchlands and Apple Cross. You can then make comparative analyses across suburbs and ensure you place your assignee in an area that suits their lifestyle, while still paying attention to costs.

Our rental allowance data has been gleaned from highly-respected and reputable sources, such as:

  • Data releases of leading institutes and organisations
  • Polls and releases by relevant and prominent media outlets
  • Our comparative analysis of Perth’s rental market combined with the local knowledge we have gathered during our 70 years of operation.
