Frequently Asked Questions
What does Vlorë Property Management actually do? We are a full-service property management company based in Vlorë, Albania. We handle everything from cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication to utility bills, tax compliance, and staff recruitment — so you can own property in Albania without the stress.
Do I need to be in Albania to manage my property? No. Our entire service is designed for international owners who live abroad. We act as your local partner on the ground, handling everything on your behalf year-round.
What rental yield can I expect from my Vlorë apartment? Based on current market data, a well-located apartment in Vlorë typically yields between 6% and 8% annually. Premium properties on the Lungomare or with sea views can reach 8% to 11% when managed professionally. Actual returns depend on property type, location, and management quality.
How does short-term rental management work? We list and manage your property on Airbnb, Booking.com, and other platforms. This includes dynamic pricing, professional photography, guest communication, cleaning, and check-ins — fully handled by our local team.
What taxes do I pay as a foreign property owner in Albania? The main obligations are an annual property tax, a 15% flat tax on rental income, and a small local tourist tax per guest per night. We help manage and file all of these on your behalf.
What happens to my property in winter when it is not rented out? Our Winter / Absence Care package ensures your property is regularly inspected, aired, and maintained during the off-season — protecting it from damage and keeping it ready for the next season.
Do you also help with hotels and commercial properties? Yes. With 20 years of international hospitality experience — from Marriott International to Danish luxury boutique hotels — we offer full hotel management services including staff recruitment, housekeeping, on-call personnel, and day-to-day operations.
Why should I use a property management company instead of my real estate agent? Real estate agents are focused on sales, not ongoing care. A dedicated property management company has one priority: protecting and optimizing your asset. We do not sell properties — our entire business depends on the long-term performance of yours.
How will the new Vlorë International Airport affect my investment? The new airport will significantly reduce travel time to Vlorë for international tourists, extend the tourist season into shoulder months, and is historically linked to 15–25% property value increases in surrounding areas.
Can I view a property in Vlorë without travelling to Albania?
Yes. Our Remote Property Viewing service lets you see the property live via WhatsApp video call while our team is physically present — giving you an honest, real-time impression before making a decision.
What languages do you work in? We communicate in Danish, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, and Albanian — ensuring smooth communication with both owners and guests across all major markets.
