Services
The operational support behind successful property management.
CBS gives property businesses across South Africa the compliance, tools, systems and back office of an established group. Our model separates the back-office workload from the local, relationship-driven work of managing properties and serving clients. Because the back office is central, it works wherever your business is, from a small town to a major metro.

Done locally by you
- Client and trustee relationships
- Viewings and inspections
- Maintenance
- Local knowledge
Rentals
Rental book administration
You've built the relationships with landlords and tenants. We take the administrative workload off your hands, with the systems and experience behind more than 1,200 long-term rentals the group already manages.
- Rental administration and account processing
- Rent collection monitoring and arrears administration
- Deposit and lease administration
- Tenant and landlord records
- Monthly owner statements and financial reporting
- Lease renewals and related administration
- Administrative support for inspections and property records
The benefit: more time to grow your rental portfolio and look after your clients, without building your own administration department.
Schemes
Sectional title and scheme management support
Running a scheme takes consistent administration, accurate financial records and reliable communication. The group already does this for 73 sectional title schemes with more than 3,000 units.
CBS can provide central administrative, financial and secretarial support, including:
- Levy administration and account management
- Levy collection monitoring and arrears follow-up
- Budgets and financial reporting
- Creditor and payment administration, on the scheme's instructions
- Meeting preparation, notices and minutes
- Trustee and owner correspondence
- Scheme records and administrative compliance support
Local scheme managers and service providers stay responsible for on-site relationships, inspections, maintenance and the practical management of the properties. Who is responsible for what is set out clearly in each agreement.
The benefit: a professional administrative operation behind the people who manage the schemes locally.
Short-term rentals
Short-term rental management
Holiday and short-stay properties earn well when guests are looked after and owners can see exactly what they've earned. The group already runs a dedicated short-term rental management business, with 115 holiday and short-stay properties under management.
- Listings and booking management across the major platforms
- Guest communication before, during and after each stay
- Coordination of cleaning, changeovers and maintenance through local teams
- Owner statements and income reporting
The benefit: owners and local operators get a professionally run short-term rental operation without building one themselves.
Flexible support
Not every business needs the same level of support.
We start by understanding your structure, portfolio and requirements, then propose an arrangement that fits. That might be a few selected functions, or a complete back office.
Our aim is to make your operation more efficient, never to replace the relationships and local knowledge that make your business valuable.
