Property Management in Graz
Property Management in Graz
A written schedule of services, the same registered team, and the price in writing after a free site visit.
02. What Property Management at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Graz at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
One invoice per building and cost centre
Separated into the regular cycle and additional services, with the building number and the period. The documents are set out so that they go into the statement without being re-sorted.
Void flats and handovers
Cleaning between two tenancies, photographic documentation of the condition, and a report of defects that have to be put right before the flat is let again.
A schedule of services for each building
Areas, frequencies, additional services and exclusions are set down in writing building by building. That is the only basis on which it can later be checked whether the work was delivered, and the only basis on which tenders are comparable.
A building supervisor as a fixed contact
One responsible person per building with a named deputy on file, reachable for the managing agent and not through a central number. Someone who knows the building settles half the complaints on the spot.
Defect and damage reports with a photograph
Traces of water, defective lighting, open cellar windows, blocked escape routes, vandalism. The report reaches your file with a picture and a date, not as a phone call that leaves no trace.
Records for the service charge statement
A record of attendance for each building with the date and the work performed, together with the winter service logs. If a tenant examines the statement, the supporting documents are all in one place.
Two things shape the management business in Graz: the old-town conservation area with its expert commission, with which every visible change to a building has to be cleared, and the student market, with handovers coming in blocks at the start and end of the semester. For buildings on a slope the winter service is the most expensive item and the one where the documentation counts.
03. Property Management: Bling Bling vs. the competition
A managing agent does not need a cleaner, it needs availability and records that will stand up to examination: with the service charge statement the work has to be traceable, with a complaint someone has to be in the building within days, and if someone falls on the pavement it is the log that decides. The effort does not lie in the single building but in uniformity across twenty. We therefore work with a schedule of services for each building, fixed supervisors with named deputies, photographic reports into your file and one invoice per building and cost centre. Additional services run as a separate order, so that the division for the statement is correct. In Graz, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

06. 10 reasons for Property Management from Bling Bling
What a cleaning company has to be measured against — and which of it can be verified.
1In business since 2014
A family firm, not a franchise and not a broker — whoever quotes also carries out the work.
2Registered core team
Permanently employed and properly registered. No chain of subcontractors where nobody is liable at the end.
3The same people every time
The team knows the building, the access and the routines. Cover is arranged and named in advance.
4€3m public liability
Personal injury, property and financial loss covered; the certificate is attached to the quotation.
5RKI/VAH-listed agents, HACCP
Listed agents, trained staff, a cleaning and disinfection plan for each building.
6Multilingual
German, English and five further languages — the briefing gets through.
7No price without a site visit
A flat price over the phone rarely holds. After the visit the framework is set out in writing. A monthly flat rate applies to weekly recurring cleaning; one-off and deep cleans by effort - hourly, per square metre or flat - travel included.
8Dated proof
Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9The same contact for all of your buildings
You hold one conversation for twenty buildings, not twenty conversations with changing area managers.
10Takeover from the first of the month, with a record
The change is completed with a key list and the settlement of remaining work, so that no gap arises.
07. Property Management in 4 more cities
Bling Bling works in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Klosterneuburg — with its own staff on site, not with subcontractors hired in.
08. Property Management for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
After the completion of a refurbishment
After work to the façade, the roof or the riser pipes, a deep clean is due once and after that a new cycle, because the areas and the pattern of use have changed.
Handover of a building after new construction
On takeover into management the builders' final clean is often incomplete and the pattern of use is not yet settled. We set an initial cycle and then switch to regular operation.
Void flats between tenancies
Only a few days lie between the return of the keys and the new letting. Cleaning, photographic documentation and the defect report run in one visit.
A cluster of complaints in one building
When several letters come out of the same building, the cycle is usually cut wrong rather than the work being poor. We approach that with an inspection and a new schedule of services.
Examination of the service charge statement
When tenants examine the statement, the supporting documents are called for. We make the records of attendance and the logs for the accounting period available as a complete set.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Property Management
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
Measuring quality means a matrix, not a gut feeling
What has proved itself is the sampling inspection with weighted items: hand-contact areas, handrails, corners and edge zones, glass in the entrance, the inside of the lift, sanitary areas. The point of dispute is almost always the same — areas that are walked rarely and therefore cleaned rarely, but which stand out as soon as anyone looks. Anyone who carries those items in the schedule of services with a frequency of their own does not have that discussion.
Control of keys is the single largest risk in the contract
If a master key to a central locking system is lost, what is at stake is not the replacement of one key but the recoding of the system for the whole building. Those costs are often restricted or excluded in public liability policies. The contract therefore has to contain: numbered issue, allocation to a named person, return when staff change, and express evidence of cover.
Service charges have to stand up to examination, not merely be paid
Under the Austrian MRG, building services and cleaning count as service charges, while maintenance and improvement do not. The boundary does not run along the wording of the invoice but along the work itself: replacing a lamp is a service, renewing the stairwell lighting is not. That is why we separate the regular cycle and additional services in both the order and the invoice — so that an examination of the statement does not fail on the question of allocation.

●. Frequently asked questions about Property Management in Graz
What does Property Management cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
