From the very beginning of our existence, we stay very conscious and apprehensive of our
habitat. When it comes to migration, we become a little more nostalgic and homesick. Even if
we go out of town for a few days only, we keep thinking about our possessions. How about
leaving your place permanently and settling down to a far place from where the maintenance
of the property is next to impossible? Have you ever experienced heebie-jeebies regarding
the property left vacant after moving abroad? Probably yes. It’s quite obvious for property
owners to be worried about the care and maintenance of their possessions. This is exactly
what Mr Binu Prakash had gone through while staying abroad.
Obviously, the problem was not only limited to him. He found that there were many
Bangaloreans NRI dying to get a robust and perpetual solution. His long stay in the overseas
came handy and that’s how he decided to foray into the Property Management domain. SANGAU
was founded in the year of 2007. It takes care of all your complications related to the
property. Although the concept was not much in trend, his earlier meetings and interactions
with many Property Management experts in foreign countries helped him gain the insight and
knack required.
Slowly and steadily, SANGAU started tasting success by becoming the primary spot for property
owners in Bangalore. Not only for rental properties, but it also chalked out the solution
for owners who were not willing to rent out their homes by providing effective caretaker
services.
At present, the company provides two types of property management services. The first service
which it provides acts as a bridge between tenants and owners. The second service is more of
a custodian that includes providing regular property inspections, preventive maintenance and
statutory payments just to name a few.
Differentiating Factors
Over a period of time, numerous “fly by night” Property Management operators have emerged in
the market. However, when taken into consideration the extent and pliability of quality
deliverables, these operators become clueless. One of the main reasons is why such operators
who claim to have exposure to property management back out in the testing times. SANGAU’s
approach is driven by yielding personalized services to clients – owners or tenants. Apart
from this, what makes SANGAU different from its peers are its customized packages of
services named BASIC and PREMIUM.
Striking a chord between owners and tenants
The company acts as a bridge between the owners and tenants. It makes sure that every rent
agreement signed by SANGAU is precisely between the owner and tenant. SANGAU does not
sub-let an owners property and we do not manage service apartments/villas. Moving ahead if
we talk about its premium package, as the name suggests, it provides more services when
compared to the Basic package. Premium package includes Rent management apart from the Basic
package. The Rent management includes advertising property for rental, finding a suitable
tenant, maintenance services during a tenancy, vacancy inspection and settlement of security
deposit payment.
The most striking feature of the company is its policy of no property viewing charges for
tenants when they visit properties. Moreover, it does not charge broker fees and there are
no hidden costs when tenants occupy the property. Not only this, all the documentation work
is done free of cost. SANGAU’s services are not limited to providing property to tenants. It
yields fruitful services to the tenants even after that. During tenancy, the tenant has
access to a dedicated SANGAU staff who resolves their maintenance issues.
The outstanding services provided by SANGAU have given it many repeat customers. Many of
these customers include people who once took services pertaining to tenancy. They remembered
SANGAU for its excellent services and returned for property management services while moving
out of Bangalore after becoming a property owner.
The company strives towards maximum occupancy. It has had a terrific occupancy rate
maintained over 94%. The company persuades property owners so that they could reap the
benefits of their unused properties.
Milestones and Achievements
The company featured in one of the business magazines in a coveted list of “10 Most Promising
Property Management Companies in India – 2017” It completed 10 years of its operations last
year.
It got felicitation from yet another business magazine. The article was titled “Delivering
Commitment and Trust in the arena of Property Management & Rent Management: SANGAU’s decade
journey”
Future Plans
It strives to search the commodious home for tenants of their choice. It aims to leave no
stone unturned to ensure a pleasant stay for them. Moreover, SANGAU is looking forward to
serving more clients in Bengaluru and an expansion plan is also doing the rounds to operate
in several Tier 1 & Tier 2 cities. Maximum property occupancy and Maintenance operational
efficiency will continue to be the core areas of its focus to enable it to retain and
improve a high level of satisfied customers. The company is en route to be the Biggest
Residential Property Management Company in India.
