Private property management vs onsite management

Post by Cook Family »

Can anyone help with this?

We're looking at property management options for our 2-bedroomed place (using the communal pools) on QdP for 2011.

We have had an agreement with the on-site management team to handle rentals, cleaning, maintenance etc for the past couple of years. This has been very straightforward and trouble-free as far as we're concerned, but wonder whether an external company would be better for our overall income.

If anyone has any information - whether you're a property management company with a price list for services that we can consider, or a property owner on QdP who has made this decision previously - I'd be grateful for your input so we can weigh up the pros and cons.

Thanks

Louise

Hi Louise,
We bought on QDP nearly 7 years ago. We looked into the various management options available then and went with Kevin Owenson from Algarvillas who has been excellent. Would be happy to discuss the pros and cons if you want to contact me - 01844 292088.
regards

I can also recommend Kevin Owenson, who we used for a number of years. Always found him to be helpful, honest and reliable.
