01
Keep your property records together
Maintain an organized copy of your ownership documents, purchase paperwork, payment records, insurance information and service agreements. Keep the contact details of your lawyer, community administration and maintenance providers accessible.
02
Plan maintenance before it is urgent
Set a routine for air conditioning, plumbing, electrical systems, roofs, pools and gardens as relevant to your home. If you are away for long periods, agree how inspections, repairs and updates will be handled.
03
Understand community obligations
Request the current association or community rules, fees and payment arrangements. Check how access, guests, parking, renovations and shared facilities are managed for your particular property.
04
Keep tax and insurance information current
Review the obligations applicable to your ownership structure with an independent adviser and keep the relevant records. If a tax exemption is claimed, retain the supporting approval and confirm its scope and remaining period.
05
Prepare carefully for rentals
If you plan to rent, check the property’s community rules and applicable requirements before advertising. Agree the services, fees, reporting and responsibilities of any management company, including how guests and maintenance issues will be handled.
06
Keep a file ready for a future sale
Record improvements, maintenance and recurring costs. When preparing to sell, gather the property documents and a clear list of what is included, then discuss current comparable listings and presentation with Natalia.
