Property management services
Body corporate and HOA management in Cape Town.
PropAI is a Cape Town-based managing agent coordinating finance, governance, communication, maintenance and meetings for bodies corporate, homeowners’ associations, property owners’ associations and residential estates. The scope and authority are agreed with each scheme, so trustees and directors know what is happening, what requires their decision and what happens next.
Who we work with
Management aligned with the way your scheme is governed.
Different schemes bring different rules, responsibilities and priorities. Trustees and directors still need the same fundamentals from their managing agent: clear information, visible progress and reliable follow-through on agreed actions. PropAI structures the service around each scheme while keeping those fundamentals consistent.

Based in Cape Town, PropAI welcomes management enquiries from community schemes across South Africa.
Bodies corporate, HOAs and residential schemes are our main focus. Commercial and industrial property management is also available within an agreed scope. We do not currently offer property sales, letting or rental management.

Choosing a managing agent
Questions from trustees and HOA directors.
- What does PropAI manage in Cape Town?
- Our main focus is bodies corporate, homeowners’ associations and residential schemes. We coordinate financial administration, governance records, communication, maintenance and meetings within the scope agreed with each scheme. Based in Cape Town, we also welcome community-scheme management enquiries from across South Africa.
- What should trustees or HOA directors compare before appointing a managing agent?
- Compare the services included, fees and exclusions, reporting, responsibility for open matters, meeting support and the proposed handover. Ask to see a sample monthly report and how actions are tracked, and speak to a current trustee reference where an introduction is arranged.
- Can we speak to PropAI before deciding to change managing agents?
- Yes. Tell us how your scheme is currently managed and what needs to improve. We can discuss your requirements and prepare a management proposal for consideration. An enquiry does not notify your current managing agent or commit your scheme to a change.
- How are management fees and the handover agreed?
- Your proposal sets out the agreed service scope, fees, exclusions and any specialist requirements. Before a transition, we agree the records and active matters to transfer, who is responsible and the first priorities. Timing depends on the existing agreement, the scheme’s decisions and the information available.
