Property Maintenance

Do you prioritize property maintenance as much as other aspects of property management, or do you consider it a luxury?

Experts in the field confirm that real estate investment achieves its profitability goals when properties are well-maintained, preserving their market value. That is why we offer our extensive expertise in property maintenance services as outlined below.

What is a Property Maintenance System?

Property maintenance involves taking care of various aspects of a building, including plumbing, electrical and water systems, elevators, roofs, painting, gardens, security systems, and more. This ensures that the property remains in good condition and suitable for its occupants.

Benefits and Importance of Property Maintenance

Did you know that periodic property maintenance is more cost-effective than dealing with emergency repairs?

Here are some key benefits of property maintenance:

• Significantly reduces future costs.

• Preserves the market value of the property.

• Makes the property more attractive to buyers or tenants.

• Extends the lifespan of the property.

• Prevents sudden breakdowns.

• Reduces unnecessary inspections.

Types of Property Maintenance

Property maintenance can be classified into different types, including:

Periodic Maintenance

Performed every few months to keep the property in good condition. Specialized maintenance companies take necessary precautions to prevent unexpected failures.

Annual Maintenance

Carried out once a year, during which maintenance companies replace worn-out components in the property.

Estimating Property Maintenance Costs and Expenses

Several factors influence property maintenance costs, including location, age, size, and type of use. Generally, maintenance expenses are lower for newer properties. However, for properties over five years old, experts recommend conducting maintenance four times a year.

Investment properties often have lower maintenance costs because they are managed by independent teams that handle these tasks regularly.

Property Maintenance Affects Buying and Selling

Some property owners prioritize maintenance as a preventive measure, while others consider it an unnecessary expense, allocating minimal budgets that may not cover essential upkeep. Delaying maintenance until major issues arise can significantly impact the property’s value and desirability.

Maintaining a property increases its market value during valuation and attracts more potential buyers or tenants.

• The landlord covers periodic maintenance, repairs for structural damages, water leaks, and common area upkeep.

• The tenant is responsible for maintenance costs related to normal wear and tear due to usage.
