Our portfolio ranges from single tenant facilities to multi tenanted estates.

A State of the Art Software System
In 2023, our business invested in Australia’s fastest growing commercial property management software system, Cirrus8. A class leading commercial property management software platform, Cirrus8 is cloud based and offers outstanding functionality. Cirrus8 will provide our property managers total flexibility with an emphasis on maximising workflow efficiencies & returns for our landlords. Cirrus8 offers full automation of routine tasks. This maximises time for our team to be actively managing our clients’ assets rather than being entwined in time consuming administrative tasks. The Cirrus8 platform has been designed by people with a strong understanding of how industrial & commercial property is managed. It will continue to innovate and enhance and regularly provide new features and functionality for our property managers, thereby benefitting our landlords.

All three trust accounts are audited annually by Anne Clark, Goodwin Chivas and Co, accredited accountants and auditors.
A National Approach
Link is a founding member of Industrial Commercial Partners (ICP). All our national partners utilise Cirrus8 in their highly experienced and developed property management teams, meaning Link Property Services and its national partners (as part of ICP) are very well positioned to manage industrial & commercial assets for landlords with a portfolio spread across multiple states. This offers our landlords a unified national software system for administering leases and reporting as well as a common underlying point of difference which sets Link Property Services and its industrial commercial partners apart from our direct competition. ICP is made up of leading independent industrial commercial agencies where the common goal is building long term relationships, where the owners of each business are actively involved in the oversight, direction, strategy and implementation of each agency’s day to day activities.
