Agree a clear management scope
Discuss tenant coordination, maintenance, inspections and reporting before choosing a management arrangement. Request a written explanation of fees, responsibilities and how additional work is authorised.
Review the operating budget
Keep a budget for service charges, repairs, insurance where appropriate and vacant periods. Compare expected rental income with realistic operating costs. Maintain clear records of income, expenses and communications.
Manage from abroad
If you live in South Africa or Mozambique, decide how often you need updates and how urgent decisions will be handled. Ask AYAMZ about the available support and the right contacts for your property.
