Property care in Split
Split is the largest city in Dalmatia and the whole old town is built inside and around the walls of Diocletian's palace, still lived in seventeen hundred years later. It's the main ferry hub for the central Dalmatian islands and the busiest place on this coast in every season. Ownership here means city apartments, short-term rentals and a lot of turnover.
In season
Short-term renting in Split means tight changeovers and strict reporting duties. We handle check-in, changeover cleaning and the eVisitor registration. In the old town, noise rules and friction with the owners’ association come on top as a subject of their own. The buildings themselves bring two things that catch owners out. Most old-town flats have no central heating and rely on split air-conditioning units for warmth, which means a flat left cold in January is not merely cold: nothing in it is drying. And the pipework in the old quarter is old, so pressure drops and joints weep, and the first sign is usually a stain on somebody else’s ceiling. We run the units through over winter and check the risers where they can be reached.
Out of season
A working city that does not empty in winter, which means a flat standing closed is surrounded by occupied ones. Leaks show up through a neighbour rather than through you, and that is usually how we hear about them. Flats inside the palace walls have another quiet problem: limited daylight and no through-ventilation. Damp in them clears slowly even with the heating on, so airing on every visit does more than turning the thermostat up. Anything structural needs heritage approval before it starts, and approval takes months, so winter is when the applications go in.
