About: building manager
A building manager or property management firm looks after a building's shared parts: cleaning the entrance, the lift, roof, facade, lighting, insurance, collecting maintenance contributions and calling in repairers when something breaks. It is especially useful in newer coastal buildings where many owners live abroad or rent their flats to tourists. How a manager is appointed and what owners' rights and duties are is set by regulations, so confirm the details with the municipality or a legal adviser.
Frequently asked questions
What does a building manager actually do?
Usually organises routine maintenance and repairs of common areas, keeps track of costs and communicates with owners. The exact scope should be written into the contract.
I live abroad. How do I stay informed?
Ask for regular reports by email and a group chat or portal for owners. A good manager can also coordinate access for repairs while you are away.
What affects the cost?
The building size, number of units, lift, garage, pool or gardens and how often cleaning and inspections happen. Ask for a quote with a clear list of services.
Who handles emergencies like leaks or a stuck lift?
A good manager has repairers on call and an emergency contact. Ask how out-of-hours issues are handled.
How is the manager chosen?
Usually by the owners at a joint meeting, following the rules for residential buildings. Check the procedure and required majority with the municipality.
