Phuket home care services
Rental properties are big business in Phuket, and the market has been booming in recent years for home care services on Phuket. Many people who purchase homes in Phuket do not live on the island year round and prefer to rent out their property while they are away, or in the least have someone maintain it with adequeate home care services. One option is to hire a live-in maid to stay on the property and take care of it while you are away; another option is to rent it out or hire a property management company to look after it.
Rental
You will get the most from your home if you rent it out while you away. Phuket home care services can provide this. Not only will you be making money from the tenant, but having someone live in your house will deter burglars. A good tenant can be a dream-come-true; however, a bad tenant can ruin your home and create a lot of hassle for you.
If you don’t know the person who will be renting your home, it’s wise to use an agency that will check the background of potential renters and follow up on the state of your home while they occupy it. There are endless numbers of real estate agents on Phuket that can assist you with finding a tenant or provide home care services.

Such agencies will send someone to check on your home regularly to ensure there is no damage; arrange for a gardener to take care of the lawn; clean the pool; open the windows to air out the building; dust and clean; conduct emergency repairs, etc. They may also pay the bills on the house if you wish to keep the water and electricity on.
Siam Home Care and Phuket Home Care are services on Phuket offering property management for those who do not spend the whole year on the island.

Security
Although Phuket is a relatively safe place to live, burgularies occur most frequently at unoccupied residences. If you do not rent out your property and won’t be away long enough to require a property management agency, or just want some extra peace of mind, a good security system can ensure your home and belongings are protected while you are away.

A company such as Guardian Alarms can assist you with selecting the best security system to suit your needs and install it. A basic security system can start at around 40,000 baht for a one-story home but it’s best to have an estimate made based upon your requirements and the size of your home.
