We have our own offices & staff on the ground in each location and a large number of properties under management throughout Central & Eastern Europe. Our wealth of experience and "hands-off" property management service increasingly makes us the first choice for property owners in the region.

Our "Hands-off" Property Management Service - how it works:

Our "Hands-off" property management service is designed so that an investor should need to do very little apart from read their property management report and collect our regular payments. We believe communication is critical.

We look after all the property management details, for example:

• tenant finding & rental contracts
• handover protocol to ensure tenant has keys, pays rent correctly, records utility meter readings
• inventory preparation
• 24/7/365 service for tenants and essential maintenance
• 24/7/365 online access for landlords to all property details
• UK phone number and English speaking Property Manager
• communication available in multiple languages: English, Spanish, Czech, Polish, Bulgarian, Russian
• hold keys and all property documents
• free mail collection and processing
• rent collection
• rental deposit holding & arbitration
• act as first point of contact for the tenant
• chase tenants for any unpaid rent
• regular property inspections
• organise property insurance
• organise energy performance certificates
• attend "owners committee" meetings for the building
• full record keeping - keep track and account for all payments and bills related to the property
• pay annual property taxes on behalf of the landlord
• pay any other local taxes (such as council tax, garbage tax etc) where relevant
• crucially, we even pay all of the bills (such as service charges, electricity, gas & maintenance) on the owners behalf (eg if bill payment details change we handle it automatically, so you don't have to worry). Not only is this less hassle for the owner but it saves you bank fees and makes the end of year accounting much easier.

Add-on services to our property management service include:

• cleaning
• welcome packs for tenants (mainly relevant for short-lets)
• accountancy: ensure annual tax returns are filed for the investor
• open a local bank account
• company services (registered seat, databox, accounting)
• legal services
• reconstruction, renovations, interior design, furnishings - from fitting lights to full scale building works
• building maintenance works (electricial inspections, gas controls, chimney sweeping, boilers, sewerage and so on)

In essence, our property management service handles everything related to running the property for the owner.

Our unique online property management system means you can view all the details of your property in realtime 24/7, with the latest reporting functionality.
