NRI property management

Your Chennai property. Managed from anywhere.

You may live thousands of kilometres away in the USA, UK, UAE or Singapore. Your property doesn't have to feel that way.

In short

NRI property management means a local team looks after your Chennai property while you live abroad. Flourrish finds and verifies tenants, collects rent into your Indian account, handles repairs only after you approve them, pays property tax and bills, and sends a monthly report with photos and video. The fee is 12% of the annual rent.

The problems every overseas owner knows

Distance turns small tasks into stress.

These are the worries we hear most from NRI owners, and how we take them off your plate.

  • I can't visit the property.

    We inspect it and send photos and video every month.

  • I don't know who is living there.

    Every tenant is background-checked and police-verified.

  • Rent arrives late, or not at all.

    We track due dates, follow up and report rent status monthly.

  • Repairs cost whatever someone says.

    You see photos and an estimate, and approve before work starts.

  • Bills and property tax slip through.

    We pay them on your authorisation and keep every receipt.

  • Tax, FEMA and repatriation feel complex.

    We coordinate with qualified CA partners for you.

Does one of these sound familiar?

Your parents used to handle it

They're older now, or it's become too much. We take over the day-to-day and keep them informed too, if you'd like.

You've inherited a property

It may be empty, rented informally or waiting for a family decision. We secure it, sort the paperwork trail and help you decide what's next.

You plan to come back one day

We keep it rented and in good repair until you need it, then hand it back in good condition.

You bought it as an investment

A new flat earning nothing is a loss. We get it ready, find a verified tenant and keep the rent coming in.

Legal, tax and banking

We coordinate with the right professionals.

Flourrish can coordinate with qualified legal, tax and banking professionals where required. Professional advice should be obtained from the appropriate licensed advisor.

Power of Attorney

Coordinated with lawyers for property documentation.

TDS on rent

Coordinated with a Chartered Accountant.

FEMA & repatriation

Coordinated with CA and banking professionals.

GST and filings

Coordinated with a Chartered Accountant.

Do you provide video reports?

Yes. Periodic video walkthroughs show the condition of your property, any maintenance issues and relevant updates, so you can see it for yourself wherever you are.

Can you manage my property if I live abroad?

Yes — NRI owners are a core focus. We communicate on WhatsApp and email at times that suit your time zone, and we can coordinate with qualified CA, legal and banking professionals for NRI-specific matters.

Can I approve major repairs?

Always. Major repairs, large expenses, new tenants, rent changes, lease renewals and renovations all require your approval. We handle the routine work; you keep control of the decisions that matter.

Do you help with property tax?

We can handle authorized property tax payments on your behalf and keep the receipts in your documents. Government charges are passed through at cost.

Do you help with utility bills?

Yes. Electricity, water, gas and apartment association dues can be paid on your authorization and reported each month, so nothing lapses while you are away.

Can you coordinate POA documentation?

We can coordinate with lawyers on Power of Attorney and other property-related documentation. Flourrish does not provide legal advice; the documentation itself is prepared and advised on by a qualified legal professional.

Do you provide tax advice?

No. Flourrish coordinates with an empanelled Chartered Accountant for matters such as TDS on rent paid to NRIs, GST, FEMA and repatriation. Professional advice should be obtained from the appropriate licensed advisor.

What is NRI property management?

NRI property management is a service where a local team looks after a property in India on behalf of an owner who lives abroad. In Chennai, Flourrish finds and verifies tenants, collects rent, inspects the property, arranges repairs with the owner's approval, pays property tax and bills, and sends a monthly report with photos and video.

Can an NRI rent out a property in India?

Yes. NRIs can rent out property they own in India. The rent is usually paid into the owner's NRO account, the tenant is generally required to deduct tax at source (TDS), and the rental income is taxable in India. A Chartered Accountant can confirm what applies to you.

How often will I get updates about my property?

You get a monthly report covering rent, tenant, bills and the property's condition, with photos and video walkthroughs. Anything urgent, such as a leak or a repair that needs your approval, is sent to you on WhatsApp as it happens.

Is it safe to rent out my Chennai flat while I live abroad?

It can be, if the basics are done properly: a verified tenant, a written and registered rent agreement, a move-in inventory with photos, regular inspections and someone local who follows up on rent and repairs. Most problems owners face from abroad come from skipping one of these steps.
