Maintenance
All owners of apartments at St. Ivan Rilski contribute to the overall maintenance of the holiday complex by paying an annual fee. The amount to be paid depends on the size of the properties owned. The amount of the maintenance fee, scope of the maintenance and the basic rules of using apartments at St. Ivan Rilski are part of the maintenance contract, which is obligatory for all owners at St. Ivan Rilski. The essence of this contract is to make sure that the complex will remain a comfortable place to live in and will keep its current aesthetic design.
The maintenance of the complex covers its communal parts: both the communal parts of the buildings and the communal parts of the holiday complex (gardens, spa centers, playing room, ski storage, etc.). The services rendered with regard to the maintenance include:
- 24-hour year-round security and surveillance for the holiday complex
- gardening
- keeping gardens and communal areas clean
- maintenance of the communal parts of the buildings (gardens, spa centres, playing room, ski storage, etc.)
- overall management of the complex
- transfer to the Gondola lift and backwards during the winter season
- on-site manage
- receptionist
It is important to know that the fee for the first year is payable on the day of transfer of property rights or before that. Then, the annual fee is payable not later than the end of February of the current year. The amount to be paid by owners may change in accordance with the inflation in Bulgaria (change of consumer prices in the country) – these figures are officially published each year by the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria.
The maintenance of the complex does not cover overhauls inside the apartments, renovations of the supply systems in the villas, taxes and other costs of ownership for the apartments, etc. According to Bulgarian law, these costs are borne by owners. St. Ivan Rilski may only pay them on behalf of owners, if they wish to.
Rental Management
Some of the St. Ivan Rilski clients take advantage of the rental management service and rent their apartment out when they do not use it. The renting out of apartments is part of a separate contract between the property management company FPPM and the owner of the property. Owners may specify two weeks of the high tourist season, in which they will use the apartment themselves so that the property is rented out in the remaining period. As owner, you need to specify this in advance so that we know when to rent the apartment out. The marketing, advertising and promoting of your apartment to tourists is the first obligation of the property manager as per the rental contract. With regard to this, the property management company signs contracts with tour operators and other organizations to provide for a maximum occupancy of apartments rented out at St. Ivan Rilski.
To rent the apartment at St. Ivan Rilski out, you need to make sure that it is furnished according to 4-star hotel standards (all our furniture packs comply with these standards), to provide your apartment with the specific additional equipment (TV set, towels, bed linen, toaster, plates, cutlery, etc.; all of them part of the Additional Equipment Pack); make sure that bills for the apartment are paid on time (assistance can be provided) and cover the costs for keeping the apartment clean.
The rental management of the apartment is divided into activities undertaken during the period of renting out of apartments and activities undertaken in the apartment when it is not occupied by tenants.
Outside of the high tourist season, incl. in the summer period, the property management company continues to take care of the property by paying bills, for instance. The property manager keeps the apartment clean and maintains it in a state to be successfully rented out to tenants.
During the periods when the apartment is rented out, the property manager keeps the apartment ready to be accommodated (i.e. clean, equipped with needed items such as towels, various consumables, etc.).
The costs for utilities such as electric supply, water supply, cable TV, etc. are included in the rental price. The everyday cleaning, as well as the change of bed linen are also among the services rendered to tenants. The property manager keeps you informed about the periods in which your apartment is rented out, about incomes, costs to be covered out of the tourist season, etc.
For the marketing and management of your apartment, there is a percentage and/or fee of the income yielded which is due to the managing company. The rest of the income is paid to you each year.
The payment is made to the bank account of yours that you specify in the contract. Therefore, if you change your bank account, address or e-mail, you need to inform your property manager so that they transfer the amount into the right account.
