Property sales
We sell homes at the top of their market range — with preparation, professional marketing, and negotiation where the price is defended by data rather than emotion.

Property letting
We find a tenant who pays on time and stays longer. Screening, the agreement and a handover record — so letting is income rather than a worry.

The problem
Letting looks simple until something goes wrong
Letting a flat in Vilnius is not hard — letting it well is. Owners usually take the first person who accepts the rent and says they can move in next week. Six months on it turns out the rent arrives a week late every month, three people are living there instead of one, and the furniture has aged five years.
The second common mistake is setting the rent from the first page of a listings portal. In Vilnius the advertised rent and the rent actually agreed often differ by €30–70 — and a flat standing empty for two months wipes out every bit of the theoretical gain from asking more.
The third sore point is the paperwork. A tenancy agreement downloaded off the internet usually says nothing about what matters most: who pays for minor repairs, how the deposit is returned, how the condition of the property is recorded, how the agreement ends early. When a dispute comes, the owner has nothing to point to.
Where the money usually goes
- The tenant is chosen in a hurry, with no income or history check
- Rent set from listings rather than from tenancies actually signed
- The flat sits empty between tenants and generates nothing but costs
- The contract omits the deposit, minor repairs and termination terms
- The condition was never recorded — a dispute over damage cannot be settled
- The owner deals with household problems personally, at any hour
The solution
How we work
We set the rent from tenancies actually signed in the same district on property in similar condition, not from advertised asking prices. We also work out what one week of an empty flat costs — which usually changes an owner's view of the last fifty euros in a negotiation.
We screen tenants methodically: employment and the stability of their income, their history of previous tenancies and, where it helps, a word with the previous landlord. Only those who meet the agreed criteria are invited to view, so the owner does not lose evenings to people who were never serious.
We close with paperwork that still works two years later: a clear tenancy agreement, a detailed handover record with photographs and meter readings, and an agreed procedure for returning the deposit. Where you want it, we take on the ongoing management as well.

The process
The letting process
At every stage you know what is happening, who is responsible and when to expect a result.
- 01
Inspecting the property and setting the price
We view the home, assess its condition, fittings and location, and compare it against tenancies actually agreed in the district. You get a rent range, and an estimate of how long finding a tenant would take at each end of it.
- 02
Preparation and presentation
We advise on what is worth changing before letting — usually lighting, soft furnishings and small defects. Once the property is ready we photograph it so the pictures show the real space rather than a wide-angle lens.
- 03
Listing and the flow of applicants
We list the property on the portals and our own site, and send it to our tenant database. Every applicant goes onto one list and is filtered against criteria agreed in advance.
- 04
Tenant screening and viewings
We run the viewings ourselves, having already checked income, employment and rental history. The owner gets a short write-up of the best few applicants, with the case for and against each.
- 05
Contract and handover
We draw up the tenancy agreement and settle the terms for the deposit, utilities and minor repairs. On handover day we record everything with photographs, meter readings and a list of keys.
- 06
Support during the tenancy
Where you want it, we take on the management: reminders about lease dates and indexation, dealing with day-to-day problems, coordinating repairs, and overseeing the return of the deposit when the tenancy ends.
Result
What you get
A well-chosen tenant is the single most important measure in letting. Across the properties we manage the average tenancy runs beyond twenty months, which means fewer voids, fewer refits between tenants, and far less time spent looking for new people.
What the owner is left with is income and clean paperwork. The agreement is drafted so it would stand up in a dispute; the condition of the property is on record; the deposit is settled in advance. Letting becomes a predictable line of cash flow rather than a source of surprises.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear at almost every first meeting. If yours is not here, write to us and we will answer it personally.
The standard fee for finding a tenant is one month's rent. It covers the rent analysis, photography, listings, advertising, screening candidates, viewings, drawing up the agreement and the inventory at handover. If we go on to manage the tenancy, a separate monthly fee applies, agreed in advance.
We ask for employment and the source of income, review the tenancy history and, where we can, speak to the previous landlord. We also look at how many people will be living there, whether there are pets, and how long they intend to stay. We never decide alone — the owner gets a comparison of the candidates and our recommendation.
One month's rent is the norm in the Lithuanian market; two months on more expensive or fully furnished property. More important than the amount is that the tenancy sets out clearly how it is returned: within how many days, what may be deducted, and how fair wear and tear is judged.
Yes, rental income is taxable. Individuals usually choose between personal income tax on the rent received and a business certificate, whose cost depends on the municipality and the property. Which works out better depends on the rent and on your other income — we can help you compare the two.
Yes, though most mortgage agreements require you to tell the bank the property is being let, or to obtain its consent. In practice banks almost never object as long as the payments are being made on time. We recommend reviewing the terms of your loan agreement before signing a tenancy.
Normally the tenant pays for what they use and for the running charges, while the owner covers the building reserve contributions, property tax and major repairs. Minor repairs are usually split at an agreed threshold — up to €100 the tenant decides, anything dearer is agreed with the owner. All of it goes into the agreement.
