About our approach

Property management built on relationships, not just transactions

If you own an investment property in Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, Potts Point or anywhere across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, you’ll know that good property management isn’t just about collecting rent. It’s about protecting the long-term value of your asset, and making sure the process is stress-free for you.

At Murray Property, we’re a boutique agency. That means you’ll always deal directly with your property manager, never a call centre or rotating junior staff. Michael Murray leads our property management team with over 22 years of hands-on experience across inner Sydney residential investments.

We understand the Darlinghurst and Surry Hills rental market in granular detail, the types of tenants these suburbs attract, the rental rates you should be achieving, and the legislative environment that affects your obligations as a landlord in NSW. That local knowledge translates to better outcomes: less vacancy, stronger tenants, fewer headaches.

What we do

Full-service property management,
end to end

From the first listing to lease renewals and everything in between, we handle every aspect of managing your investment.

Tenant screening & selection

Rigorous background checks, rental history verification, income assessment, and national tenancy database searches. We find tenants who’ll treat your property as their home.

Rent collection & disbursement

Monthly rent disbursements, detailed statements, arrears management, and prompt action if a tenant falls behind. Your cash flow, protected.

Routine inspections & reporting

Detailed written inspection reports at every routine visit, with photographs. You always know the condition of your property, wherever you are.

Lease management & renewals

Lease preparation, renewal negotiations, rent reviews in line with the market, and compliant notice procedures under the NSW Residential Tenancies Act.

Maintenance coordination

24-hour maintenance request system. We work with trusted, pre-vetted tradespeople and manage all repairs on your behalf, with your approval for significant costs.

Property marketing & leasing

Premium listings on realestate.com.au and Domain, professional photography and video at no cost to you, and a database of pre-qualified tenants ready to move.

Our point of difference

Professional photography & video included, at no cost to you

Most property management agencies charge landlords separately for photography, sometimes hundreds of dollars per listing. We believe strong marketing should be standard, not an add-on.

We cover the cost of professional photos and video for every rental property we manage. Your listing goes to market looking its best, which means more qualified enquiries, shorter vacancy periods, and better tenants choosing your property over the competition.

NSW tenancy law, kept current

NSW residential tenancy legislation has changed significantly in recent years, and staying compliant matters, an incorrectly issued notice can be thrown out by NCAT regardless of how valid the underlying reason is. As your property manager, we handle this as a matter of course, but if you’d like to understand the detail yourself, our team has written full breakdowns of the changes that affect Darlinghurst and Surry Hills landlords most:

If you’re considering professional management and want the fuller picture of what the role covers, our complete guide to property management in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs is a good next read.

A growing share of the properties we manage belong to owners who no longer live in Sydney. If that is you, our guide for landlords living overseas covers the tax, surcharges and compliance differences that apply.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Questions about switching, fees, or what property management actually involves? Here are the ones we hear most.

Can I switch property managers mid-lease?

Yes, in NSW, landlords can change property managers at any time by providing the required notice to their current agency. We handle the entire transition process for you, including all communication with your existing manager and your tenants. Read our full guide here.

What happens if my tenant doesn’t pay rent?

We follow a clear, immediate arrears process in line with the NSW Residential Tenancies Act. Tenants in arrears are contacted promptly, and if arrears persist we issue the appropriate notices and escalate to NCAT if necessary. You’ll be kept informed at every step.

How often will you inspect my property?

We conduct routine inspections in line with NSW legislation and provide you with a written report and photographs after every visit. Entry inspections are also carried out at the start of each new tenancy.

Do I need to be in Sydney to use your service?

Not at all. A significant number of our landlords are interstate or overseas investors. We handle everything locally and communicate with you digitally. Monthly statements, inspection reports, and maintenance updates are all delivered electronically.

What areas does Murray Property manage in?

We specialise in Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, Potts Point, Paddington, Woolloomooloo, Elizabeth Bay and surrounding suburbs across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. If you’re unsure whether your property falls within our area, get in touch and we’ll let you know.
