A contract signed in Hebrew between the investor and the company is short and to the point. The main points in it, are the obligation of the company to do everything which was pre-agreed including the renovation, management and handling of all the matters pertaining to the property. The investor on his part empowers the company to carry out actions for him in Romania such as transfer in the Land Registry, tax payment in Romania and the rest of the issues pertaining to the property. The process is accompanied by a notary in Israel and in Romania.
The property renovation takes up to six months and is executed by the team of workers of the company. The renovation is meticulous and comprehensive and ensures we do not rely on external contractors. The process includes disconnecting from the old building infrastructures and changing them with new modern ones. This includes the upgrade of the electric systems, plumbing and air-conditioning as well as changing all the windows, flooring and doors on the property. We pride ourselves in carpentry personally customized to the furniture in the apartment, and we provide the general equipment necessary including the electrical appliances. Mainly, the tenant enters the apartment with his personal belongings alone. As part of the transaction, we offer full guarantee for the renovation works during the first two years. Thus we promise that any problem or concerns related to the renovation of the property that may arise during this period will be dealt with and solved immediately at our expense.
At the end of the renovations we rent the properties to tenants with long term contracts. Due to their central location and their high level, the apartments are naturally rented to economically stable tenants. Every tenant gives a security deposit for two months and signs a contract through which he is responsible for any damages caused to the apartment or the furniture in it. The law in Romania allows evacuation within 30 days for tenants who do not pay their rent, which offers security to the investor.
As part of the transaction we offer the first two years of property management free of charge. The management includes finding tenants, ongoing operation, collection of payment, handling of malfunctions and taxation in Romania. The expected return from rent ranges between 7%-8% not including a potential increase in the value of the property. After two years you will be able to choose to continue with our management for 12% of the rent. In return we undertake through a contract to continue to offer management services for you for an additional 10 years.
