Property Management in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry
An old house that earns its keep needs someone on the ground between every guest.
Scheduled visits, a full inspection each time, and a documented report within 24 hours of every one.
Where this sits
The oldest building stock in the radius, and the busiest visitor season.
Fort Kochi and Mattancherry sit inside the fifteen-kilometre radius of Tripunithura that Cocoon works within, and both are named in the service area the business publishes.
They are also the part of that radius where two things are true at once that are true nowhere else. The houses are genuinely old — timber, lime plaster and clay tile rather than concrete and vitrified floor — and a great many of them are let to visitors rather than lived in. An owner abroad is therefore running a small hospitality operation inside a building that needs conservation, and both halves fail quietly.
What the place asks of a manager
Old materials fail slowly. Guests arrive on a schedule.
Timber, Tile and Lime
Minimum 12 timestamped photographs, every visit
Timber moves with the humidity and takes water at the joint before it shows on the face. Clay tile displaces and the roof leaks somewhere other than where the tile moved. Damp rises in an old wall and the plaster tells you months later. Each is an inspection item, photographed where it is found, so the change between one report and the next is visible rather than described.
The issues we look for, room by room
The Turnaround Between Guests
In-person check-in and check-out
A short-let property is only as good as the state the next guest walks into. Every turnaround is cleaning to a published standard with plant-based products, linen, and an inspection against the condition the last guest received. Check-in and check-out are done in person, by someone who is there, rather than by a lockbox and a message.
How green cleaning works
A Peninsula in the Monsoon
Before and through the rains
Salt air on the exposed side, driving rain on an old roof, and a season when the bookings stop and the building is left to itself. Roof, drains, seepage points and damp are checked ahead of the monsoon and again through it — the months that do most of the damage to a property nobody opens.

If the house is let to guests
Your revenue reaches your account. Not ours.
Booking revenue is paid to you directly by the platforms and never passes through Cocoon. Cocoon runs the listing, answers the guests, and does every turnaround on the ground — then invoices for that separately.
Management commission20% of net revenueNet revenue is what the platforms pay you, after their own fees. Neither the Listing Management fee nor the check-in and check-out fee reduces it.
A six-month minimum. Listing Management and the in-person check-in and check-out are charged separately, and neither reduces the base the commission is worked out on. The full fee set is published on one page rather than restated here, so there is one place for it to be right.

What every visit covers
The same loop, every visit, in the same order.
Whether the house is let or standing between seasons, it is inspected under the same structured protocol as every other property Cocoon manages.
The exterior and roof, the interior room by room, the electrical and plumbing systems, and every appliance and asset in the house — run, observed and recorded rather than merely looked at. Utility bills are managed. Before you travel, the house is prepared for your arrival rather than after it.
Every visit produces minimum 12 timestamped photographs and a written report within 24 hours. An urgent issue is actioned within 24–48 hours. No unplanned expenditure is incurred without your prior written approval.

Questions owners ask
Property management in Fort Kochi, answered plainly.
Does Cocoon manage properties in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry?
Yes. Both sit inside the fifteen-kilometre radius of Tripunithura that Cocoon works within, and both are named in the service area the business publishes. The radius is a service promise rather than a marketing line — it is what lets a manager reach your property on the day it needs one.
Can Cocoon manage a Fort Kochi house that is let on Airbnb?
Yes, through short-term rental management. Cocoon prepares and runs the listing, handles guest communication, and manages every turnaround on the ground — cleaning, linen, and the check-in and check-out in person. Booking revenue is paid directly to you by the platforms and never passes through Cocoon. The management commission is 20% of net revenue.
What is different about an old house in Fort Kochi?
The materials. Timber, lime plaster and clay tile move with the humidity and fail slowly rather than suddenly, which is why an owner who visits once a year sees the result and not the cause. Roof and tile displacement, timber that has taken water, and damp rising in an old wall are inspection items on every visit, photographed where they are found so the change between reports is visible.
Who looks after the property between guests?
Cocoon does, in person. Every turnaround includes cleaning to a published standard with plant-based products, linen, and an inspection of the property against the condition the last guest received it in. Check-in and check-out are done in person rather than by lockbox, and that fee is charged per booking and payable in advance.
Will I be charged for a repair without being asked?
No. No unplanned expenditure is incurred without your prior written approval by WhatsApp or email, and vendor costs are passed through at actuals. The single exception is imminent damage to the property — Cocoon acts immediately to protect the house and notifies you within two hours for ratification.
