Living with and looking after your property

Owner’s Guide

Ownership continues well beyond handover. A clear plan for documents, maintenance, community services and day-to-day management helps you look after your home whether you live here full time or visit throughout the year.

A practical ownership checklist

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.

Thinking about selling?

A useful valuation starts with the exact property, its condition, location and features. Recent improvements, community costs and comparable homes help frame the discussion. Send the details through the valuation form to begin.
