Trusted Property Management in Punta del Este and Surrounding Areas
Whether you own a modern apartment in the city centre, a beach house, or a rural estate, our tailored property management services are designed to give you complete peace of mind. We support homeowners who live abroad, visit seasonally, or require full-time local oversight of their Uruguayan property.
We manage properties located across Punta del Este, Punta Ballena, José Ignacio, and Laguna Garzón. With over two decades of experience in property supervision, guest rentals, and facilities management, our bilingual team offers practical solutions backed by professionalism and attention to detail.
Our Property Management Services
We offer a full-service approach to managing residential, coastal, and rural properties. Our services are designed to preserve the condition and value of your investment while keeping you fully informed, regardless of your location.
We carry out routine inspections twice per week for each managed property. These inspections are documented through written and photographic reports, allowing us to detect potential issues early. Our team checks for signs of water damage, structural wear, electrical issues, or security breaches, and we share all findings with you promptly.
Maintenance coordination is an essential part of our service. We obtain detailed estimates for any required work and oversee repairs using qualified, reliable local contractors. You are informed of every stage and retain full control over final approvals. In urgent situations, we act quickly to protect the property while keeping you informed of progress and outcomes.
We also take a proactive approach to utility management. Each month, we analyse your electricity and water bills and highlight any unusual activity that may indicate leaks, excess consumption, or technical problems. This has helped many clients avoid costly repairs or billing surprises.
Your home is kept in a state of readiness at all times. Our team ensures that the property is regularly aired and cleaned so it is welcoming upon your arrival or when being shown to prospective tenants. Should your property include gardens or a swimming pool, we will coordinate appropriate services with trusted local gardeners and maintenance providers.
We liaise directly with 24-hour alarm monitoring services, ensuring year-round security oversight. During storm season or periods of extreme weather, we carry out preventative checks and ensure the premises remain secure.
Every month, you will receive a detailed financial statement outlining all payments made on your behalf. This includes service fees, utilities, maintenance costs, and any additional charges. All statements are presented clearly and can be issued in Spanish, English, or Portuguese.
Priority Summer Rental Programme
Properties managed by us are given priority in our seasonal rental listings. We market these homes through our website in three languages and promote them to both local and international audiences. Our network includes visitors from neighbouring South American countries as well as regular clients from Europe and North America.
We take care of guest arrivals and departures, manage housekeeping before and after each stay, and remain on call throughout the rental period to resolve any maintenance issues that may arise. This ensures your guests receive a positive and professional experience while your property remains protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if there is an emergency while I am abroad?
If an emergency occurs, such as a burst pipe, break-in, or weather-related damage, our team responds immediately. We assess the situation and take appropriate steps to contain any further risk to your property. You are notified right away with photos and a written summary. We provide repair estimates from vetted contractors and seek your approval before proceeding with any major work. In urgent cases, we carry out the minimum necessary actions to safeguard the home, then follow up with a full report and options for further repair.
How will I know what has been spent and why?
You will receive a detailed monthly financial statement listing all expenses incurred on your behalf. This includes itemised utility bills, contractor invoices, service charges, and any additional spending. Each statement is carefully reviewed to highlight anomalies or unexpected charges. We include explanatory notes to help you understand where and why funds were used. You can request statements in the language and currency of your choice, and our team is always available to clarify details or provide supporting documentation.
Can you manage more than one property for me?
Yes, we routinely manage multiple properties for clients who own homes in different locations across the region. Whether you have two beach villas or a mix of urban and rural estates, we can consolidate management and provide a customised service plan that suits your portfolio. Each property is assigned a dedicated maintenance schedule and oversight protocol, but all financials and reports can be combined for your convenience.
