Property management in Lombok: Why the right partner matters

Whether yo have invested in a villa in Kuta, a beachfront home in Selong Belanak or a land for development, one thing is sure: property management in Lombok requires local expertise, cultural understanding and in-depth knowledge of regulations. Whether it is maintenance, handling staff, monthly reports or bookings, managing your property from distance or without assistance can quickly become stressful and time consuming.

Buying property is just the beginning, choosing the right property management company in Lombok will be key to your success. Let’s explore why.

• An Island in development

As you know, Lombok is still a developing island. Compared to Bali, where services are centralized and infrastructure well established, you will be facing various difficulties. On the island, water and power cuts can be unpredictable, good workers can be limited in remote areas, and reliable contractors or maintenance staff are often found by word-of-mouth, which does not make the task easy.

• Language and cultural barriers

For the majority of foreign owners, communicating with staff, suppliers, and local authorities can be a real challenge. The majority of locals do not speak English at all but Bahasa. Navigating local customs and administrative systems takes time. This is why having a local, bilingual team can make all the difference.

• Understanding Indonesian property laws

As a foreign investor in Indonesia, you are not expected and often not allowed to be directly involved in operational tasks. The government actively encourages local employment, which means it’s essential to rely on trusted Indonesian staff.

That’s why working with a professional property management company is not only convenient, it’s also the most reliable way to ensure that your property is well maintained, complies with the law and generates a regular income.

Trying to manage everything yourself can quickly become overwhelming, especially abroad. A good property management team takes care of day-to-day operations, customer communication, staff coordination, permits, maintenance and financial reporting. So you can enjoy the benefits of your investment without the stress.

In Lombok, a quality property management company must offer more than just basic maintenance. Here are the different qualities a good team should have:

• Fluid communication: English and Bahasa to ensure coordination with local staff and foreign owners.
• Villa and customer management: Management of bookings, guest communications, arrivals and departures, and problem solver.
• Maintenance coordination: With trusted plumbers, electricians, air-conditioning technicians, gardeners, etc.
• Transparent reporting: Regular updates and a monthly report.
• Marketing support: optimized listings on Airbnb,  Booking.com, and Maju Properties’ own website to guarantee high occupancy.

You will need a team proactive and someone who identifies issues before they become problems. Someone that understands that your property is both a financial investment and a personal space.
