Managing your property from far away is an arduous task. Few NRIs think of selling their property if it is located in a posh locality. However, NRIs that own property in India have multiple anxieties.

There are two main roots of these anxieties.

There is the issue of safety and upkeep of the property. Parallel to it is the concern regarding the loss of value invested into the property.

No one wants their property to be used for wrong purposes or by irresponsible tenants in their absence. Still more, a property that is not maintained depreciates in value. Eventually, it loses out in the rental and resale market. It might even become unliveable!

Thanks to the professional property management companies, NRIs can now relieve themselves of their property maintenance burdens. Often, a property management company combines various interrelated services. For example, rent management and maintenance over a period of time go hand-in-hand. Similarly, pre-possession formalities and preparation of registry papers are usually done in quick succession.

The overall focus of NRI rental property management services is the following:

1. Allow the NRI homeowners to convert their property into an income-generating asset rather than a liability.
2. Manage the various billing, paperwork, legal, and agreements related formalities in the absence of the property owners.
3. Ensure good upkeep of the property so that its value gets enhanced gradually.
4. Help the homeowners who stay away from their property to keep control of their property remotely. Involve them in all important decisions. Supply them regular reports. Allow them to participate in real-time in the renovation, repair and, interior designing.

No NRI would want their property to lie in waste when it can generate a steady income. The underlying logic of rental property management for NRIs is as follows.

Professional property managers ensure you maximum rent from your property. A fraction of that rent goes into maintaining the property. A part of the savings from the rent goes into repairs, renovation, upgrades and, interior designing. A small fraction goes as the charges of property managers. The remaining amount is your income from your property.

While you earn your income, your property is being maintained for you. Besides, the value of your property keeps on increasing all this while. Basically, it is a triply beneficial deal for a very small fraction of charges. Besides, you save your precious time and energy.

How can Residential Property Management companies ensure you steady rental income?

Professional Residential property management companies maintain a dynamic database of prospective tenants. They market your property in the rental market to reduce the vacancy period to a minimum. They also ensure that your property derives the maximum possible rent by highlighting its advantages.

On the flip side, the company would also ensure that competitive rents are set. Your property would thus not lose out in the rental market. Timely collection and transfer of rent from the tenants is also the company’s responsibility.

Overview of Property Management Case Study

This post highlights the problems and our property maintenance and rental income generation solutions for one of our NRI client.

About the Client

The NRI client lives in New Zealand and has a property in Gurgaon – India. Since he lives away from his property, therefore, it became next to impossible for him to travel to India frequently to address the property concerns. Hence, the client decided to hire a property maintenance and rent management company in Gurgaon to fulfill his requirements.

Property: the client owns a Penthouse of 5400 Sq ft with 4 Bedrooms on a top floor in one of the posh locations of Gurgaon.

Problems Faced by the New Zealand Client

The client bought the property 10 years back from now. And at the time of purchase he invested a generous amount of INR 30 lakhs on the renovation and upkeep of the house. The client equipped the house with latest and superlative amenities, appliances and furniture. So that whenever he and his family came to India, they’d be comfortable in their stay.

The maintenance of the house was given to a local person/acquaintance, who was supposed to take care of the property while the owners were abroad.

Unfortunately, the person in-charge for maintenance only did cleaning ignoring all the concerned tasks of property maintenance. This resulted in poor condition of the fittings, appliances, furniture etc in the penthouse.

And when the client decided to generate some rental income from the property, it was not in the shape to hire tenants. This came as a shock to the client who was trusting the local acquaintance and was hoping to save some rental income for his future plans.

House Condition when the client contacted LuXia’s property managers

When Luxia was given the charge of the house for maintenance, our property managers found the house in a very poor condition.

Bathroom fitting were rusted and old , rubber was falling off from the window blinds, Jacuzzi was not working , A/Cs were not working or cooling. Additionally, the kitchen appliances like chimney, hub, oven etc were also not functioning properly.

All in all the house was not maintained per the standards it should have been over the years.

LuXia’s Solutions for Property Maintenance and Rental Income generation

Property Maintenance

Just as the client hired us for using our property management services for NRI, our team was on it for the maintenance tasks. With our expert in-house professionals like carpenter, plumbers, electricians, appliance technicians (for washing machine, dryer , chimney/hob  etc)  we got everything rectified and thoroughly cleaned.

Our team ensured that the maintenance work was done at economic prices, that too well within the pre-committed timeline.

With our maintenance team’s efforts the house was completely transformed from an unused, unkept house; to a modern luxurious apartment.

We gave a live tour of the house to the NRI owner over video conference. And, he was pleasantly surprised with the transformed look of his house. He was very happy that he did not have to spend on the travel expense to maintain his property in India.

Assured Renting

Now, since the house is very well maintained, so now is the time for the house to earn money from a previous dead investment of 10 years.

Therefore, LuXia engaged with top corporate companies and established verified professionals to get our New Zealand client suitable tenant.

From the various prospect tenants, we screened the details of a corporate client who wanted to use this penthouse as their company guesthouse.

LuXia got the deal finalized between the client and the corporate client with a handsome rental of INR 80,000. Our property management company handled all the verification and documentations before handing the keys to the tenant.

This is how we helped our NRI client with our property maintenance services and rent management services to generate a high return on investment.
