Owners living abroad · Chennai
A local team for your Chennai property while you live abroad
If you own a home in Chennai and live abroad, RelyBricks can be the team on the ground. The company was started by homeowners who moved overseas and needed someone they could trust with tenants, repairs and vacant-property care. You get inspections with photos and videos, a single point of contact, and digital reports so you can see what is happening without relying on busy friends or elderly parents. Whether the home is tenanted or empty, the Chennai team can visit, coordinate work and keep you informed. Most issues are acknowledged in under 24 hours. Annual plans start from ₹16,000/year. The service is delivered by RelyBricks' Chennai team, giving overseas owners one clear local point of accountability for the property.

What you get when you cannot be in Chennai
One local point of contact
Tenant, vacancy, vendor and bill follow-up through the Chennai team.
Inspections with photos and video
Visits and condition updates you can review from anywhere.
Digital reports
Structured reporting instead of informal threads from relatives.
Tenanted-home support
Communication, rent follow-up, maintenance, inspections, renewals and bills.
Vacant-home oversight
Visits, cleaning, maintenance and preparation to the agreed scope.
Repairs and emergencies
Coordination with verified vendors; you are kept informed.
If the property is tenanted
When someone is living in the home, RelyBricks can handle tenant communication, rent collection and follow-up, maintenance, inspections, renewals, bills and payments, and reporting back to you. You approve decisions that need the owner. Day-to-day tenant calls sit with the Chennai team. More detail on sourcing and the tenancy sequence is on the tenant management page.
If the property is vacant
An empty flat, villa or bungalow still needs local eyes. RelyBricks can visit the property, identify maintenance issues, coordinate repairs, arrange cleaning, keep the home maintained, send photos and reports, and prepare it for a future tenancy or another requirement you set.
How often someone visits, and what work is done, follows the agreed management scope — not a single published timetable for every vacant home. Land and plot care is a separate service if you also own vacant land.
What happens if something goes wrong while you are abroad
The tenant or a neighbour should not have to find your parents. They reach RelyBricks. The local team coordinates the vendor, keeps a record, and updates you with photos where a visit is made. You approve work that needs your say.
For urgent issues, RelyBricks coordinates the appropriate local vendor and keeps you informed. Repair timelines depend on the issue, vendor availability and any approvals required from the owner. Most issues are acknowledged within 24 hours — that is acknowledgement, not a guaranteed repair time.
