You will have a dedicated property manager looking after your property. When the property is not occupied by guests, we carry out inspections every two weeks to ensure that everything is in good condition. We check the inside and outside of the property, including security, for signs of damage, damp or pests, and ensure that the main equipment and services are functioning properly.

We keep owners updated on everything happening at the property. Monthly reports clearly present information on expenses, bookings and the status of the accounts so you can easily follow your property's activity.

We monitor regular property-related payments and can help set up direct debits for fixed expenses. Invoices are checked before payment, and if anything unusual is identified, the owner is informed in advance. We can also take monthly meter readings whenever necessary.

Keeping the property in good condition is an important part of our management service. We work with local service providers to coordinate maintenance in different areas, including the swimming pool and garden, as well as any other work that may be required at the property.

At the end of each season, we conduct a thorough review of the property to ensure it is ready for the next season. We check all the main elements of the property, from the inventory to the essential services and equipment, and identify any necessary maintenance. The owner receives a detailed report with recommendations for the following season.

Our property management team in the Algarve helps owners enhance the value and visibility of their properties while also protecting their investment.

When a guest makes a booking through one of the platforms, they pay the rental amount plus a cleaning fee. The total amount is transferred to The Magnolia Properties. We then deduct the agreed commission from this amount. For full management, we also reconcile the cleaning fee, which is subsequently paid to our suppliers and cleaning teams. Although there is a charge for each clean, this cost is covered by the guest. Payment to the property owner is made on the 15th of each month, after the guest’s departure.

Our support team processes dozens of bookings every day and has been trained to recognise warning signs. The safety of your property is always our top priority. We will never put your property at risk, even if that means declining certain bookings. All guests must have a verified profile and provide details of their intended stay before their reservation is confirmed.

We carefully select the platforms that best match your property and target audience. We work with leading international booking portals such as Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO/HomeAway, Expedia and TripAdvisor to maximise visibility and returns. However, if you would prefer your property not to be listed on a particular platform, we can customise the management according to your preferences.

We have a rigorous guest screening process in place to ensure maximum security for your property. However, we recommend that you do not leave any valuables in the property while it is being rented out short term. Should damage or theft occur, our team will handle the entire process, liaising with the booking platform and the guest to recover the relevant sums. We use security deposits via credit/debit card pre-authorisation, which can be activated as required, and we handle any disputes that arise.

We work in partnership with a number of specialist service providers. The cost varies depending on the nature of the work. While we can arrange minor repairs without prior consultation, it is essential to set a maximum authorised expenditure limit. Rest assured that we will always seek your approval before proceeding with any work that exceeds this limit.

Yes, we contact guests after each stay to encourage them to leave a review, answer any questions they may have and collect further feedback.
