Acquisition of real estate
Immediately following the acquisition of real estate there are a number of local service providers that one must liaise with. Water and electricity services are provided by a corporation called ARMS, it is important to apply for the relative connections and/or transfers of ownership into the property owners name. Internet/television/telephone connections, of which there are 2 main service providers on the island; Melita or GO, need to also be arranged. There are also various home or landlord insurances to be considered.

Client specific needs vary depending on the reason for the property purchase.
Rental investments
Long and short term rental options are available with the support of the management service. Long term rental is supported by checking of a full inventory as a new tenant takes occupancy. Deposits for breakages are collected as are monthly energy deposit for the payment of energy bills attributable to the tenants. Meters are read upon arrival and the request for regular billing is made and settled as necessary using the accumulated energy deposits from tenants.
Short term lets or holiday lets are usually charged at a rate which takes into consideration the energy. Due to the frequency of tenant arrival and departures deposits are collected prior to or upon arrival, the villa or apartment is inspected before and after occupancy.

Privately owned units within blocks
When owning an apartment in a block you will come across the need to appoint a condominium block administrator. This is quite often a process carried out by the first few people to buy into that apartment block. There are a number of condominium block administrators on the island and we can guide you, through experience, with regards to the more reliable of those who budget fairly and provide a high standard of service.
Inglis Property Management represents you, the private, individual private property or estate owner and voices your concerns and requests. It is important to appoint separate management for the blocks common areas and your private residencies as this ensures that no conflict of interest can be used against your very best interest if the same block admin is assigned your proxy in your absence at Annual General Meetings for decisions to be taken and budgets to be agreed.
In your absence attendance to AGMs is made and the communication of the respective correspondence is passed to you. You will be made fully aware of the agenda brought in by the condominium management and importantly have the opportunity to raise issues as requested by your good selves or recommended by us.
Fees
An annual fee is applied which is reflective of the property to be managed. Larger properties, villas with pools and palazzo’s may command a higher annual fee due to the size of the property to be inspected and the quantity of issues to be dealt with.
The annual fee covers the standard management services for holiday homes and properties that are not occupied by tenants.
Further services attract relative charges. Extra visits over and above those scheduled monthly can be carried out against a fee.
If you do not have a list of items in your property, and wish to rent, a full inventory is advised. This can be compiled for you at a fee.
Rental collection fees for long and short term tenancies attract a charge of a small percentage of the rent collected.
