Services - Cyprus Property Management

Providing property management has become increasingly more important now than ever before especially with the booming real estate industry in Cyprus. Great emphasis is to be placed on the property management to give your property the competitive edge.

You purchased property in Cyprus for investment and as an income generating asset? YES we hear you say. Have you maintained it though efficiently especially if you expect to maximize returns on this investment?

Read on about property management and our full services in Cyprus.

Overview of Cyprus property management services

If you've engaged the services of a property management company please note that their function is not merely to collect the rent and pay outgoings but to look after the property, attend to maintenance and repair, supervision of staff and negotiations with prospective tenants.

You will come across numerous companies offering property management services in Cyprus. How good or bad they are you will only find out once you have employed them to manage your property. Unfortunately this is the case all over the world and Cyprus is no exception.

Whether you engage a management company in Cyprus or elsewhere in the world and you start having problems with the management company you will no doubt discover that contrary to what you may have been led to believe, the management company is seldom responsible to you for anything. Make sure therefore that you get in writing for what the property management company is responsible for and what they are supposed to do and not do for you. Discuss and reach agreement on the following matters and insist on you getting this in writing:

- Communication to you- the property management company is obliged and must tell you what is happening in the management of your property AND regularly.

- Due diligence- the property management company promises and undertakes to do its very best when managing your property. The company must exercise that amount of diligence which a reasonable and prudent man would exercise under the circumstances. By managing your property the management company is after all expert in this field. Or are they?

- Rendering of accounts- insist that you get an account regularly and not every 4 or 6 months. We insist on monthly and very often every two weeks. Why should you wait for 6 months. Do not accept this under any circumstances from any property management company.

- Termination of the agreement- agree precisely on the duration of the agreement and on the basis upon which you can terminate your agreement with the property management company.

- Maintenance and repairs- normally it is standard that the management company handles the maintenance and repairs. In attending to maintenance and repairs the company should use reasonable care.

- Cancellation of tenancy- if tenants don't pay you must be notified immediately and not 6 months later. This applies more to long term rentals than to holiday lets. But even in the case of holiday lets tenants should not be allowed into the property if they have not paid unless agreed to the contrary with you.

- An aggressive marketing program.

It is common in Cyprus and recommended to use this service before and after guests occupy the property. When renting out your property it is important and we will carry out an inventory check with your guests both when they move-in and move-out.
