Property management in Hamburg: No one dreams of their property manager. Until they get a bad one.

We manage Hamburg apartment buildings for private owners, communities of heirs and foundations. Many of them we have looked after for more than 25 years.

Our promise

Why owners stay with us.

Your building lives through the people who live in it. We choose tenants with sensitivity and stay in conversation with every side, before a question turns into a conflict.

That is why, in over 25 years, we have had hardly any legal disputes. Our tenancies run for years. For owners, that is the most economical form of management there is.

Why owners call us

The most common reasons to call us

  1. You have inherited a building, along with a folder full of contracts you never signed yourself.

  2. You manage the property yourself and the paperwork is growing faster than you would like.

  3. You need to prepare the service charge statement and are not sure what can be passed on to tenants and what cannot?

  4. Your building needs renovating. Quotes, deadlines and possible funding: you do not know where to start.

  5. You do not live in Hamburg. Your building does.

One call is all it takes. We handle the rest.

How we manage

Finance and profitability

For us, accounting and finance are the foundation of good management. Income and expenditure accounts, service charge statements, arrears management and continuous financial monitoring. Clear for you, your tenants, your tax adviser and your bank.

Tenants and letting

People who feel at home in their flat stay. Tenants who are valued, and who value their home in return, treat it with respect and are content tenants in your property. They are also a good barometer of a responsible community of tenants across the whole building.

Renovation and development

Building fabric does not look after itself. We steer and coordinate renovations from the facade to the loft conversion, drawing on relationships with craftspeople and architects built up over decades.

For demanding properties and discerning owners

We manage apartment buildings and demanding residential properties, as well as properties held by communities of heirs and by owners who lack the time in everyday life to look after them fully.

In doing so, we balance differing interests, keep the financial and technical requirements in view, and personally take care of every task around your property.

Private owners

Owning a building is a pleasure. Managing it is work. We take the work off your hands and leave you the pleasure.

Communities of heirs

Several owners, different ideas. We coordinate, communicate and advise in everyone’s interest, and keep the building running in the meantime.

Foundations

A foundation’s building serves a purpose that outlasts any term of office. We manage it with the same composure: preserving value, securing income, and documenting every step so that your board understands it without having to ask.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked

How much does property management cost in Hamburg?
Property management is usually charged per unit per month; the amount depends on the size, condition and scope of services for the property. We give you our price after an inspection, because a quote made without looking inside the building is a number without substance.
What does apartment building management involve?
Apartment building management runs your multi-family house commercially and technically: tenant selection, legally sound service charge statements, maintenance, coordinating tradespeople and seeing renovations through. We choose tenants the way we would choose business partners. That is why our tenancies last.
How do I change my property manager?
To switch, you give notice on the existing management agreement within the agreed period; the new manager organises the handover of documents, accounts and ongoing matters. We take care of this transition completely, and all your tenants notice is a new point of contact.
Why do owners stay with van de Loo for so long?
Some owners have entrusted their buildings to our management for around 20 years. When you know your building is in good hands, you don't look for new ones. That length of stay is our most important proof, and we work every month to keep it that way.
Does van de Loo also work for communities of heirs and foundations?
Yes, we also manage apartment buildings for communities of heirs and have experience in managing foundations. Especially when several owners are involved, you need someone who listens, balances interests and still makes decisions.
Does van de Loo also manage owners' associations (WEG)?
No, conventional owners' association management (WEG) is not part of what we offer. We manage entire apartment buildings, because good work needs the whole building: from cellar to roof, from tenancy agreement to renovation.
