Maylands has become one of Perth's most sought-after inner suburbs over the past decade. With a vibrant café strip and good transport links, it attracts a diverse rental population. Property types range from original 1920s–1940s character homes to newer apartment developments along the main road.
Character Homes — What's Different
Older character homes in Maylands often have features that require specific cleaning attention:
- Jarrah or pine floorboards — clean with appropriate product, no excess water
- Sash or casement windows — tracks and sills need careful attention
- High ceilings — light fittings require a ladder and can accumulate significant dust
- Older kitchen layouts — sometimes have spaces behind or under appliances that trap debris
- Evaporative air conditioning — filter pads need to be cleaned or replaced
Newer Apartments
Modern apartment buildings along Whatley Crescent and surrounding streets are typical inner-suburban apartments — split-system AC, tiled floors, balconies. Standard bond clean applies with AC filter cleaning included.
Evaporative Cooling — A Common Issue
Many older Maylands properties have evaporative cooling rather than reverse-cycle split systems. Evaporative systems have pads that absorb water and can accumulate scale and mould over a tenancy. These should be cleaned (or the condition noted in the ingoing PCR) before the exit inspection.
