Owning a property in Croatia can be rewarding, but managing it from another city or country is not always easy.
Tenants need assistance, maintenance issues need to be addressed, bills need to be organised and everyday communication needs to be handled. For owners who live abroad or have limited time to manage their property themselves, having a reliable local contact can make a significant difference.
Our property management support helps owners keep their properties organised, maintained and properly looked after — without having to be physically present in Croatia.
From communicating with tenants and suppliers to coordinating repairs and keeping track of property-related expenses, we provide practical local support tailored to each owner’s needs.
Property management services
Every property is different, which is why our property management services can be adapted to the way you use and manage your property.
We can provide ongoing or occasional support with the practical and administrative aspects of owning a property in Croatia.
Our services may include:
- Communication with tenants, guests and suppliers
- Maintenance and repair coordination
- Organisation of property-related documents
- Tracking of property expenses
- Arranging inspections and service visits
- Coordination of cleaning and other property services
- Assistance with everyday property-related administration
- Communication with local contractors and service providers
- Regular updates for owners who are not based in Croatia
Our role is to make property ownership easier to manage while keeping the owner informed about important developments.
Communication with tenants, guests and suppliers
Good communication is one of the most important parts of managing a property.
We can act as a local point of contact for owners who are not available to respond to everyday requests themselves.
Depending on the agreed scope of service, this can include communication with:
- Residential tenants
- Short-term guests
- Cleaning companies
- Maintenance contractors
- Utility and service providers
- Building representatives or managers
- Other professionals involved with the property
We can help coordinate appointments, communicate practical information and pass important issues or decisions back to the owner.
For residential rentals, the relationship between landlord and tenant is governed by the applicable tenancy agreement and Croatian regulations. A written tenancy agreement should define matters such as rent, rights and obligations and notice periods.
Maintenance and repair coordination
A property requires regular attention, even when nothing appears to be wrong.
When a maintenance issue occurs, being physically present in Croatia is not always possible. We can help coordinate the practical response by contacting appropriate service providers, arranging access to the property and keeping the owner informed about the work required.
Our support may include coordination of:
- Plumbing and electrical repairs
- Air-conditioning servicing
- Heating and cooling systems
- Appliance repairs
- General maintenance
- Cleaning and property preparation
- Garden and outdoor maintenance
- Urgent repairs
- Routine inspections
Where specialist work is required, we coordinate with qualified contractors or professionals rather than performing regulated technical work ourselves.
Property owners remain responsible for ensuring that their buildings are properly maintained, while specialist maintenance work must be entrusted to persons who meet the applicable requirements.
Expense tracking and property costs
Keeping track of property-related expenses is particularly important for owners who manage their property remotely.
We can help organise and monitor costs associated with the property, such as:
- Maintenance and repair invoices
- Cleaning services
- Utilities
- Building-related costs
- Service contracts
- Contractor invoices
- Property-related administrative expenses
Expenses can be organised and reported to the owner so that they have a clearer overview of what is being spent on the property.
Where accounting, tax or financial reporting is required, we can coordinate with the owner’s accountant or tax adviser. Our property management service does not replace professional accounting or tax advice.
Administrative support for property owners
Property ownership often comes with a range of small administrative tasks that can become time-consuming when handled remotely.
We can assist with practical property-related administration, including:
- Organising property documentation
- Communicating with service providers
- Collecting invoices and receipts
- Coordinating appointments
- Arranging access to the property
- Following up on maintenance requests
- Communicating with building management
- Keeping owners informed about important property matters
Our goal is to take care of the routine coordination so that owners do not have to spend their time dealing with every small administrative detail.
Property management for owners living abroad
Managing a Croatian property from another country can be challenging.
A small leak, a broken air conditioner, a tenant’s request or an urgent repair can require someone to be physically present and able to respond quickly.
For owners living abroad, we provide a local point of contact who can coordinate practical matters on their behalf.
We can help with:
Regular communication
Keeping you informed about important developments concerning your property.
Local coordination
Communicating with tenants, contractors and service providers in Croatia.
Property visits
Arranging agreed inspections or visits when a physical presence is required.
Maintenance coordination
Organising appropriate contractors when repairs or servicing are needed.
Administrative follow-up
Helping ensure that routine property-related matters do not get overlooked.
This gives owners greater peace of mind while allowing them to remain in control of important decisions.
Short-Term rental and guest support
If your property is used for short-term tourist accommodation, management can involve additional operational and administrative responsibilities.
We can provide practical support with guest communication, cleaning coordination, property preparation, maintenance and other agreed activities.
Owners and accommodation providers should ensure that the property has the required approvals and operates in accordance with Croatian tourism and accommodation regulations.
For example, persons providing accommodation services are required to register and deregister guests through the eVisitor system within the prescribed deadlines.
Croatia is also introducing additional rules concerning short-term rental listings and registration numbers. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has announced that the registration-number obligation for certain properties advertised through online short-term rental platforms is expected to apply from the beginning of 2027, following the adoption of the relevant legislation.
Where such obligations apply, we can help owners understand the administrative requirements and coordinate with the appropriate professionals or authorities.
Long-Term Rental property support
For owners who rent their property on a long-term basis, we can provide ongoing practical support throughout the tenancy.
This can include communication with tenants, coordination of repairs, arranging property access and following up on maintenance issues.
We can also help organise documentation and communicate relevant information to the owner.
Landlords in Croatia have obligations concerning the condition and maintenance of rented residential property, including timely necessary repairs in accordance with applicable rules and the tenancy agreement.
Our role is to support the owner with the practical coordination of these matters while keeping the owner informed and involved in decisions that require their approval.
Coordinating all property-related activities
Managing a property often means dealing with several different people and companies at the same time.
Instead of the owner having to coordinate every individual task, we can help bring the different activities together.
This may involve coordinating between:
Owner → Property manager → Tenant / Guest → Contractor → Cleaner → Service provider
We keep communication organised, follow up on agreed tasks and provide the owner with relevant updates.
The exact scope of our involvement is defined according to the property and the management arrangement agreed with the owner.
Please note: The scope of property management services depends on the property, the owner’s requirements and the services agreed between the parties. Property management support does not replace legal, tax, accounting, technical or other regulated professional services. Where specialist advice or regulated work is required, we can coordinate with the appropriate qualified professionals.
