Real Estate Management

Exclusive holiday villas, like many other ambitious things in the life, are nearly always very emotional affairs. They’re not for business or investment in the classical sense, but often the personal fulfilment of a life dream. In order to effectively relieve the real estate owner of the administration of his or her real estate, the holiday villa is professionally and systematically managed by LCI - Property management. Unexpected incidents are thereby avoided.

LCI supports real estate owners by reducing the continual administrative expenses through the leasing of the real estate as holiday houses or holiday apartments via its international partners from the travel branch (see our partners and tour operators).

Central to the leasing partnership concept, between LCI and the real estate owners, is careful handling and professional administration, as well as real estate care. This means that the choice of the administrative body, from the customer’s point of view, represents one of the most important decisions.

This is, on the one hand, decisive for the efficient lease of the real estate and guarantees, on the other hand, the preservation of the value of the real estate. Amongst other things, LCI also looks after the real estate of customers living in Europe who only use their house or apartments a few weeks a year. Long distances mean, from the customer’s point of view, that there is always a fundamental risk of insufficient control over the foreign real estate.

LCI offers direct control through qualified local partners, paid from our own specialized administrative account, who regularly carry out relevant checks. For example, on the service of craftsmen, pool service, gardeners, etc. as well as running costs, such as, electricity, water/channel, telephone, etc.

This means that assignment of the administration, to a qualified company, which is not only responsible for the administration of the real estate but also supervises the leasing is highly recommended.
