04Approval and lawful-use confirmationWhat the verified evidence says and what must be confirmed for the exact propertyDepends on the property and model
- WA planning rules distinguish hosted and unhosted STRA.
- Hosted STRA has a statewide development-approval exemption.
- Unhosted STRA outside an applicable exemption requires development approval where the use is not otherwise permitted.
- The responsible local government assesses the application under its planning scheme and any local STRA policy.
- Where development approval is required, lodge the application with the responsible local government before operating outside the applicable exemption.
- The council may require a management plan, site and floor plans, proposed guest capacity, parking, waste, noise and complaints controls, local-manager details and evidence of neighbour engagement.
- The assessment and final conditions are council- and property-specific.
Wealth Through Property can liaise with western-australia-outback-south and relevant planning professionals, help confirm the planning pathway and coordinate the documents required for an application. western-australia-outback-south remains responsible for deciding whether approval is required and whether it is granted.

06Hosted or unhosted night limitsOperating caps for the hosted or unhosted model
- Hosted STRA is exempt from requiring development approval across Western Australia, but registration is still required.
- Within the Perth metropolitan area, unhosted STRA used for 90 non-consecutive nights or less in a 12-month registration period is exempt from development approval.
- Unhosted Perth STRA intended to operate for more than 90 nights requires development approval from the responsible local government before operating beyond the exemption.
- The 90-night figure is a development-approval threshold, not a permanent annual letting cap. With all required approvals and registration in place, the state reforms do not impose a general annual night cap.
Wealth Through Property can track counted nights, monitor the applicable registration period and optimise the permitted booking inventory without exceeding the applicable operating limit.

The price
What you pay, worked out for your purchase
Pick your price range or type your budget. You see the fee, the retainer and every way to pay, straight away. All prices include GST.
What do you expect to pay for the property?
Your fee: $14,000 0.93% of the price, GST included. If you buy for more or less, it’s worked out again on the price you actually pay.
No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, interest is charged on what’s still owing, nothing more. Pay it off at any time and the interest stops: you just pay what’s left of the fee.
Included
- Your own buyers agent · One person from start to finish.
- Strategy session and 20-year plan · Where this property fits in your bigger plan.
- Investment property data · Growth, rent and supply data for every area we test.
- Unlimited reviews and negotiations · As many properties as it takes.
- Off-market and pre-market access · Where available.

Good to know
- The retainer comes off your fee, and you get it all back if you cancel within 7 days.
- Monthly payments start a month after you sign, worked out on your estimated price, with no interest while we search, however long it takes.
- When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the price you actually pay. Paid too much? We refund it.
- After you buy, interest (0.5% a month) is charged on what’s still owing. Pay it off at any time and the interest stops.
The fee scale and retainer
Each rate applies to the part of the price inside its band, not the whole price. All amounts include GST.

Pay monthly: see how the payment plans work3 to 36 months
Payment plans
Pay your buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once
A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when your deposit, stamp duty and loan costs land. We let you spread it. You start with a retainer from $1,000, which comes off your fee, then choose how to pay the rest.
- Pay at settlement
Nothing more until you buy. The balance is paid at settlement, with nothing added.
- 3 months, interest-free
Split the balance into three monthly payments, with no interest at any point.
- 12, 24 or 36 months
Smaller monthly payments. No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, 0.5% a month applies to what is still owing.
- Pay it off early, any time
Clear the balance whenever you like and the interest stops. You pay what is left of the fee.
- Worked out on the price you pay
Payments start on your estimated price. When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the actual price, and anything paid over is refunded.
- More of your savings for the deposit
Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit and buying costs, which is where it counts.
Illustrative example: on a $750,000 purchase our fee is $12,000, GST included. After a $1,000 retainer you could pay the $11,000 balance at settlement, as $3,666.67 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $458.33 a month on the 24-month plan. Use the buyers agent fee calculator to see every option for your price.

4.9 from 40 reviews★★★★★
I’ve bought two properties through Scott and both have been excellent buys. He found great value in strong locations, and the growth has been solid. Because of the results from those first two, I’m now in a position to buy another two investment properties and I’ll definitely be using Scott again.
Dean Erickson · Google review · 2025
★★★★★
Scott has been awesome throughout my journey. We bought our first investment property with Scott’s help and professional guidance. Would recommend him to any new buyers looking to kick start their investment portfolio.

Thanks for helping me Scott. You made buying in another state easy and I wouldn’t had the time to do it myself
