Folio Estate

Your property, quietly handled.

The operations platform for property owners who aren't always on-site. Homes, holiday houses, luxury rentals, family estates. One dashboard for the properties you love.

Why Folio Estate exists.

Operations Blindness

You never see it until something breaks.

Whether it's your holiday house, your rental, or the family farm, you have no reliable way to know if the pool pump is working, the geyser is heating, or the generator has been serviced. The first sign is usually a guest complaint or a burst pipe. At 10pm.

Scattered Handovers

Everything important lives in someone's head.

Service dates in one WhatsApp thread. The electrician's number in a saved contact. Prepaid meter numbers in a note somewhere. When something breaks or someone leaves, the knowledge goes with them, and you're left rebuilding from scratch.

Built For Someone Else

Rental tools, home apps, or nothing at all.

Guesty and Hostfully are built for full-time rental operators. Home management apps assume you live there. Nothing handles the reality of most property owners: sometimes rented, sometimes lived in, sometimes empty, always something to keep track of.

What Folio Estate does.

01

Property Health.

A green, amber, and red traffic light across every system in your portfolio. Pool pump, geyser, generator, inverter, alarm, HVAC, deep-clean status. All visible at a glance, wherever you are.

02

Service schedules & maintenance.

Every service interval tracked automatically. Inverter batteries every six months. Pool pump annually. Chimney sweep before winter. Get notified before things become urgent, and keep a record of what was done, by whom, and what it cost.

03

Utilities, meters & consumption.

Prepaid electricity balances, water usage patterns, gas levels. Eskom Se Push integration for South African properties, smart meters for UK and European homes. Know what your property costs to run, before the bills arrive.

04

Team, contractors & guests.

Your cleaner, gardener, pool guy, security company, and electrician, all in one place. Assign tasks, track completion, keep contractor histories. Guest arrivals with a branded welcome portal, if you rent it out.

Built for owners, not operators.

Whether you rent it out, weekend there, or hold it for the family, Folio Estate handles the operational reality of owning property. Multi-currency portfolios, locale-aware date and number formatting, and region-specific utility integrations. Currently serving South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

The Luxury Rental Operator.

Managing a portfolio of short-stay properties across cities. Guest turnovers, crew coordination, revenue tracking.

The Second-Home Owner.

A holiday house you visit six weeks a year. You need to know it's ready when you arrive, and cared for when you're gone.

The Family Estate.

A farm, a wine estate, a generational home. Multiple systems, seasonal patterns, staff on the ground, and family who use it.

The Investor.

Buy-to-let, long-term rental, or held for capital growth. Visibility on maintenance, tenants, and returns without being on-site.

Cancel anytime. Export everything.

Your portfolio, your data. Take it with you whenever you go.

Billing, cancellation and pauses.

Cancel anytime. Your data stays yours.

When does billing start?+

Setup is billed once, upfront, before your kickoff call. Monthly or annual billing starts the day your account goes live and your handover session is complete. Not the day you sign up.

Can I cancel mid-month?+

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. Monthly plans are not pro-rated. Annual plans run to the end of the year you paid for.

What happens to my data if I cancel?+

You keep read-only access for 30 days after your billing period ends, with full export of properties, bookings, guest packs, tasks and crew profiles to CSV or PDF. After that the account is archived for 90 days in case you return. After 90 days it is permanently deleted.

What if I sell the portfolio?+

Get in touch. If you exit the business entirely mid-term, we will pro-rate the remainder of an annual plan as a gesture, not a policy.

Can I pause for the off-season?+

Yes. Pause for up to three months per year at 30 percent of your normal monthly rate. Your data stays live, calendars stay synced, support drops to essential only. Estate tier includes pauses at no charge.

What about the setup fee if I change my mind?+

Fully refundable before we begin work. Fifty percent refundable after deposit but before kickoff. Non-refundable once onboarding has started, because the work has been done.

Can I move between tiers?+

Anytime. Upgrades take effect immediately and are pro-rated. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
