Property Management Cost Calculator
What a year of care actually costs.
Every rate below is published, and shown both before and including GST.
Most property management in Kochi is priced on enquiry. Cocoon publishes its rates, which means the arithmetic is something you can do yourself before you speak to anyone. This page does it for you.
Choose the cadence your home needs and the size of the property, and the panel shows what the first year comes to and what it settles at afterwards. Plan rates are measured on a 3 BHK villa of 2,000 sq ft. Every figure it computes excludes GST and says so; the published rates it is built from carry both figures.

Every figure above excludes GST. GST at 18% is applied on your tax invoice, and the rates each line is built from are published with their GST-inclusive figures below.
The evaluation is free. The rate is agreed before we arrive.

What the fee is for
The plan fee buys attention, not materials.
The rate covers the visit, the inspection, the report and the coordination around them. Anything bought or replaced on your behalf is a third-party cost, billed at actuals, and never incurred without your written approval. Every expense approved by you before it is incurred.
Inside the plan fee
A manager attends on the plan cadence — Vacant Home visited monthly, Visited Home visited fortnightly, Active Home visited weekly.
Minimum 12 timestamped photographs, every visit.
Delivered within 24 hours of every visit.
Protective action within 24–48 hours.
Vendor charges, repair materials, replacement parts, utility bills, statutory taxes and arrears are billed separately at actuals. Cleaning consumables are supplied by you, in the brands and formulation you choose, and are procured by Cocoon only on request, at actuals, against your written approval. What is never inside a plan is listed in full under excluded services and responsibilities.
The three figures that are not the plan rate
Three separate charges, three separate reasons.
They are deliberately different amounts. None is a variant of another, and none of them is “the visit fee”.
Onboarding
Charged once, before the first visit, on every new property. It covers the initial documentation, the baseline photography and the system setup — the record every later report is compared against.
Plan billing starts in Month 2.
Onboarding₹5,000 one-time₹5,900 including 18% GST
Additional bedroom
Plan rates are measured on a 3 BHK villa of 2,000 sq ft. A larger house takes longer to walk, photograph and report on, so beyond the third bedroom the rate carries an addition on each visit. Nothing else about the plan changes.
Additional bedroom₹899 per bedroom beyond the third, per visit₹1,061 including 18% GST
Ad Hoc Site Visit Fee
A visit outside the plan cadence. Off-cycle visits only. A request that folds into the next scheduled plan visit carries no fee. For an owner not yet on a plan, it applies from the second visit onward — the first property evaluation is free.
Credited in full against the next invoice — for prospects who subscribe to any plan within 30 days, and for existing clients on every occurrence.
Ad Hoc Site Visit Fee₹799 per visit₹943 including 18% GST
Choosing the cadence
Choose by how often the house needs to be seen.
The per-visit rate falls as the cadence rises, and that is not a saving to chase. Four visits a month cost more in a month than one does. What changes between the three plans is how long the house is left unwatched.
Which plan suits which house
The full inclusions for each plan, side by side, are on the property management plans page. If the property is let rather than kept for your own use, the cost sits differently — see long-term rental management or short-term rental management.
The steps between the three published rates are ₹400 and then ₹600. They are not equal. The ladder is a choice of care intensity, and a higher cadence costs more in a month, not less.
Questions owners ask
The calculator, answered plainly.
How much does property management cost in Kochi?
Cocoon publishes three per-visit rates. Vacant Home is ₹6,999 per visit before GST (₹8,259 including 18% GST), Visited Home ₹6,599 (₹7,787) and Active Home ₹5,999 (₹7,079). What a property actually costs in a year depends on which cadence it needs and how many bedrooms it has, which is what this calculator works out.
Why does the calculator show eleven months of plan fees in the first year?
Because Month 1 is the onboarding month and plan billing begins in Month 2. Onboarding is ₹5,000 before GST (₹5,900 including 18% GST), charged once, and it covers the initial documentation, the baseline photography and the system setup. A first year computed on twelve months of plan fees would overstate what you are invoiced.
Why does Active Home have the lowest rate per visit?
Because the rate follows the intensity of care rather than the number of visits bought. A home in weekly use genuinely needs more attention than one standing empty, so Active Home costs more in a month than Vacant Home does — four visits at ₹5,999 against one at ₹6,999. The steps between the three rates are ₹400 and then ₹600, and they are not equal.
Does the calculator include GST?
No. Every computed figure on this page is exclusive of GST, and says so. GST at 18% is applied on your tax invoice. Each published rate the calculation is built from is shown on the site with both figures — the rate before GST, and the figure including it — so nothing is left to discover later.
What is an ad hoc site visit, and when is it charged?
It is a visit outside your plan cadence, at ₹799 before GST (₹943 including 18% GST). For an existing client it applies to off-cycle visits only — a request that folds into the next scheduled visit carries no fee. For someone not yet on a plan it applies from the second visit onward, because the first property evaluation is free. It is credited in full against the next invoice.
Do the plan fees cover repairs, materials or garden work?
No. The plan fee covers inspection, reporting and coordination. Third-party costs — vendor charges, repair materials, replacement parts, utility bills — are billed at actuals, and no unplanned expenditure is incurred without your prior written approval. Garden maintenance is not part of any plan and is quoted on assessment, by area and by the work required.
Is the figure this calculator gives me a quote?
No. It is arithmetic on published rates, and it assumes the property is what you have told it. The applicable rate is confirmed with you in writing before a visit is scheduled, after we have seen the property information — photographs, the exact location, the amenities. The evaluation is free. The rate is agreed before we arrive.
