Care-taking services of empty properties

Owning a vacation home or a 2nd home in is great… that is, until something goes wrong with you not about.

For owners who prefer to keep their Islamabad and Mirpur Properties vacant and available for their use at any time, we have developed a Care-taking Program. This program is also ideal for owners who have listed their property for sale and want to keep it in tip-top showing condition.

Here's how it works...

Properties in our Care-taking Program are assigned to a Property Manager who conducts on-site inspections at agreed-upon intervals and prepares a written report, which is kept in your property file.

Your Property Manager according to your instructions handles any problems that come up.

We work with a carefully chosen group of service providers who are dependable and well qualified.

We check all service work that is done at your property and make sure it's done well. In addition, we pay monthly utility, pest control, house cleaning, gardening and similar bills on your behalf, unless you prefer to do so yourself (subject to funds being on account). A full statement of account will be forwarded every 3 months by email or fax.

When you plan to visit your home we can arrange to have your home cleaned and ready for your arrival. Two weeks' advance notice is required.

Our Care-taking Program, it's simple, it's straightforward and it gives our owners peace of mind.
