Owning a property entails a number of tasks that, in many cases, owners prefer to delegate. Either because do not live all year round in the cityor simply because do not want to worry about daily maintenanceto have a comprehensive and reliable service is the best way to ensure that everything runs smoothly without having to worry about every detail.
In this article we explain what should a good home maintenance service include?whether it is a second home, a rental apartment or a property that is only used in certain seasons. This is especially relevant if you are looking for a reliable property manager to represent you.
1. Periodic housing supervision
Quality maintenance starts with regular inspectionsThe system is tested by reliable technicians. This allows us to detect small faults before they become major problems.
-
Checking for dampness, leaks or visible flaws
-
Checking of meters, stopcocks, alarms or access to the building
-
Verification of operation of boilers, air conditioning and household appliances
At Buildpat, we include visual reports (photographic or written) after each visit, so that the owner is aware of everything, even if he is not present.
2. Tenant check-in and check-out management (Check-in / Check-out)
If you rent your home, this part of the service is essential. A good property manager must be responsible for:
-
Handing over the keys to the tenant
-
Perform a signed inventory and checklist
-
Supervise the use during the stay
And in the check-out:
-
Joint review with the tenant
-
Status report and proposed bond retention (if applicable)

Preparation of the property for a new entrance
This allows the owner to stay out of the more cumbersome aspects of the rent.
3. Repairs and incidents: agile and efficient service.

4. Preparation of the building between rooms
Whether for a new tenant or for the owner to use temporarily, a home must always be ready:

Professional cleaning

Checking of heating, hot water, locks and faucets

This eliminates unnecessary travel and accelerates the availability of the property.
