Property Management
Comprehensive Facilities and Property Management in Lusaka
Facilities and property management involves overseeing all aspects of your rental property, including compliance, financial management, marketing, and general maintenance. BCA Properties offers tailored property management services designed to meet your specific needs and objectives as a property owner or investor throughout Zambia.
Whether you need “rental collection only” or “full service property management”, we’ve got you covered.
Why Property Owners Choose Professional Management
If you’ve owned rental property for a while, you’ll know that whilst financially rewarding, it can demand considerable time and effort. This may interfere with your core business or work commitments.
Whilst a DIY approach might work if you have unlimited time, for most property owners, professional management delivers optimised rental income.
Do You Need a Property Manager?
If your answer to any of the following is YES, then it’s time you considered engaging our property management team:
Do you find yourself:
- Lacking sufficient knowledge of the rental market and property regulations?
- Showing vacant properties to unqualified prospects or property “tourists”?
- Concerned about the time you’re spending managing, marketing and maintaining your rental property?
- Waiting for “No-Show” prospects at your property for viewing appointments?
- Having tenants call at the worst possible times?
- Living far away (abroad or in another town) from your rental property and unable to personally oversee it?
Let’s connect and discuss how our property management services can help.

Understanding what tenants look for in a rental property is crucial to successful lettings. We vet potential tenants through standard, non-discriminatory background checks to ensure you receive the best tenant pool possible. Specific screening requests from property owners are available upon consultation, including clearance with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) where needed. Suitable prospects are then presented for your selection before finalising any agreements.
Beyond preparing lease agreements and advising on key lease matters, we ensure your property remains compliant with all applicable requirements:
- Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) tax on rental income and rental tax obligations
- Lusaka City Council Property Rates
- Ministry of Lands Ground Rent
- Any applicable trading or operating licenses
- Property insurance, where applicable
- Other compliance matters as they arise
Our team stays current with local regulations to ensure your investment is properly protected and compliant.
Our property management includes comprehensive rent collection services: invoicing, collection, and receipt tracking. When tenants fall behind on rental payments, we follow systematic procedures to obtain rent from tenants in arrears, always working within the law to find amicable remedies for both parties.
Keeping your rental property in excellent condition is essential for maintaining maximum investment returns. We conduct regular property inspections at agreed-upon schedules with tenants to ensure everything runs smoothly and tenants remain satisfied.
We work with you to outline regular maintenance checklists as part of our property management services. For anything beyond routine maintenance, we discuss options beforehand and offer advice on contractors and suppliers with whom we’ve established reliable relationships. Smaller repair works within agreed amounts are handled without your involvement as part of our management fees, where applicable.
We provide advisory services on your property investment and recommend the best steps to maximise your returns in the local market. As one of the established real estate companies in Zambia, we understand the nuances of the local property market and regulatory environment.
