The best property management in Vietnam: our comparison

What's the best property management company in Vietnam for a foreign owner in Hanoi?

There's no single best choice — it depends on your building. International groups such as Savills and CBRE suit large mixed-use developments; Vinhomes Management is the default inside Vinhomes townships; independents such as PMC Vietnam can cost less for a single unit.

✓ Who needs a dedicated property manager — and who doesn't

✓Owners based outside Vietnam who need a single accountable contact for tenants, rent collection and maintenance.
✓Investors comparing several managers before requesting quotes, or deciding between a Vinhomes in-house desk and an independent alternative.
✓Owners with more than one unit, potentially across different developments, who need a manager able to operate city-wide.

⚠Owner-occupiers who live in the property themselves — a manager adds a recurring cost with nothing to administer.
⚠Owners who visit Hanoi often enough, and are comfortable enough locally, to handle tenants and repairs in person.
⚠Owners planning only very short-term or holiday lets, who are usually better served by a serviced-apartment operator than a traditional buy-to-let manager.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an international property manager and a local independent one in Hanoi?

International groups such as Savills Property Management and CBRE Property Management apply standardised, English-language reporting across large portfolios. Independent local operators are typically smaller and more price-competitive, but scale and reporting standards are harder to verify from abroad — always request references and a sample monthly report before signing.

Should I use Vinhomes Management if my unit is inside a Vinhomes township?

It's usually the default option and already knows the building, board and maintenance contractors, but it remains a developer-affiliated desk. It's worth comparing its fee and reporting against an independent manager the same way you'd vet any provider — see our due-diligence guide for the checklist.

How much does property management cost in Hanoi?

Most managers charge a percentage of collected rent rather than a flat fee, and the exact rate is set independently by each company. See the full fee breakdown in our property management guide, and always request the current published rate card before comparing offers.

Does a property manager file my rental tax for me?

Full-service managers typically withhold and file the combined 5% VAT and 5% PIT due on gross rental income on your behalf, but this isn't universal across every company — confirm it explicitly in the management agreement before you sign.

Do I need a property manager if I only own one unit?

Not necessarily. Owners who live in Hanoi, or visit often enough to handle tenants and repairs themselves, can self-manage. A manager becomes valuable once you're based abroad and need one accountable contact for service charges, maintenance and the building's owners' general assembly.

Can a property manager represent me at the building's management board?

Yes — this is a standard part of full-service management. The manager attends service-charge and sinking-fund meetings and votes on routine matters on your behalf, under a mandate you set out in the management agreement.

Are SSG Property or Colliers Vietnam available for a property in Hanoi?

Both operate in Vietnam, but confirm current Hanoi coverage directly before shortlisting: SSG Property's portfolio is concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City, while Colliers Vietnam maintains a smaller residential footprint in Hanoi than Savills or CBRE.
