If you are considering renting your property in the BVI (long term or short term), comprehensive property management by a professional service will help protect your investment in the BVI. This type of amenity is designed to provide peace of mind and relieve the commitment of being a full-time on-site landlord.

Increasingly, property owners and tenants are requesting managed properties as it allows a third party perspective, streamlined toward a successful business relationship.

Property Management services

Property management packages include services such as collecting rent, handling simple and complex administration, and the provision of a 24-hour emergency helpline. Corporate and high-calibre private villa tenants expect 24/7 service when they rent a property and as a landlord it can sometimes be challenging to fulfil their demands and expectations.

Each managed property is given individualised attention and property management fees can be extremely reasonable with sufficient research.

Property management can help to ensure that both your tenants and property receive the essential professional care required. Utilising a property management service brings the following:

1. Extensive expertise and knowledge of local BVI laws
2. Comprehensive marketing to a targeted audience
3. Finding and securing the right tenants
4. A professional on-going relationship with the tenants
5. Obtaining references
6. Efficient collection of rent
7. Managing the tenant check-out process
8. Arranging tenant notices and evictions when and if necessary
9. Arranging payment of outgoings: mortgage, property taxes, insurance or other payment as instructed
10. Detailed records, accounting reports and quarterly statements provided
11. Easy transfer of utilities
12. Key-holding services
13. Arrangement and payment of repairs, maintenance, cleaning and gardening services
14. 24-hour emergency call-out service
15. An annual property inspection with full reports to ensure proper maintenance
