IMPORTANT – Notes for execution –
* Please fill in the full name/s of the property owner/s, including any middle names, exactly as per your passport/s
* Please fill in your complete home country addresses, including states/prefectures/postcode and country
* Please sign at the bottom of the first two pages of the contract, above “Client 1″/”Client 2” (in case of joint ownership)
* The date of expiry on the POA is entirely up to you, but we’ll always need a valid document to manage your properties – if you’d like to avoid having to re-execute when expired, feel free to leave the date field blank – this will mean you’ll need to notify us via email if and when you’ll want to terminate our authority.
* Both documents need to be witnessed by a Notary public, with their certificate or stamp/seal attached. In Australia & New-Zealand a Justice of the Peace will suffice. Japanese residents can stamp the documents with their official registered seal/ stamp, and enclose an original seal certificate document (“inkan shiome”).
Once the form has been submitted and all documents uploaded, we will review your submission, and then contact you to finalize the onboarding process directly.
Please be aware that we will not be able to begin management of your property before this procedure has been completed correctly, hard copies of our executed POA and contract of services received, and sufficient funds for the first year of management – particularly in the case of tenanted investment properties, it is extremely important to finalize the handover procedure as soon as possible, to avoid disruption to tenants.
