General Overview

About Home in Sri Lanka — Property Care

Basic questions about the purpose of the platform and who it is built for.

Home in Sri Lanka — Property Care is an Ensolanka service platform created for owners who need structured support to care for property located in Sri Lanka. It helps owners register properties, select care services, review provisional estimates, receive final staff-reviewed care plans, handle related payments, and later monitor reports and service activity.

The platform is mainly for property owners who live overseas, travel frequently, live away from their Sri Lankan property, or need reliable support to keep a home, land, estate, villa, or other property monitored and maintained.

Depending on platform settings and staff review, owners may add property types such as:

  • Houses
  • Villas
  • Apartments
  • Buildings
  • Estates
  • Vacant land
  • Other property categories accepted by Ensolanka

No. Property Care is a structured monitoring, maintenance coordination, and service-support platform. It is not insurance, a legal guardianship arrangement, or a guarantee that theft, weather damage, deterioration, or other risks will never occur.

Care services improve visibility and coordination, but they do not replace insurance, legal advice, structural certification, or security guarantees.
Account Access

Profiles, Login, and Connected Ensolanka Accounts

Questions about creating a Property Care profile, managing your account, and activating related services.

Yes. Public visitors may read service information, FAQ content, and other public pages, but adding properties, selecting services, reviewing estimates, receiving final plans, and managing payments require a Property Care owner profile.

The profile may include your full name, email, phone number, WhatsApp number, client type, residency status, current country and city, emergency contact details, profile image, and a short note about your property care expectations.

Yes. Your profile page allows you to update owner details, upload or change your profile image, change your username, and change your password.

Yes. The platform is designed to support one user account with multiple related profiles. From Property Care, Rental Owner, or Affiliate dashboards, you may be able to activate another profile without creating a separate login.

The same user account remains in use, but each activated service profile has its own business purpose, dashboard, and related terms.

No. Activating another profile simply creates access to that related service area. Any app-specific review, listing approval, service eligibility, or policy requirement still applies.

Property Registration

Adding Properties, Images, and Documents

Questions about creating a managed property record and submitting information for review.

You may be asked to provide property identity, location, land details, building details, condition information, utility status, access details, and optional owner notes.

  • Property name and category
  • City, district, address, and map link
  • Land size, number of buildings, and floor area
  • Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms
  • Property age and current condition
  • Boundary wall, gate, garden, and grass-cutting needs
  • Electricity, water, and internet status
  • Key-holding and emergency-access requirements

Yes. The platform supports property image uploads so staff can better understand the property condition and owners can maintain a visual record of the property details submitted.

Yes. Where relevant, you may upload supporting property documents such as land plans, building plans, utility records, or other information that helps Ensolanka understand the property and plan appropriate service support.

The property moves into the review workflow. Staff may review the details, images, documents, and overall suitability before approving it or requesting corrections.

Typical statuses may include:

  • Draft — Not Submitted
  • Submitted for Review
  • Approved
  • Rejected — Needs Correction

Yes. You can edit property information where permitted by the workflow. If a property has been rejected for correction or is still in draft stage, updates are especially important before resubmission or further review.

Services & Plans

Service Selection, Estimates, and Final Care Plans

Questions about how care services are chosen and how pricing becomes finalized.

The initial Property Care service catalogue includes:

  1. Inspection Visits
  2. Interior Cleaning
  3. Exterior Cleaning
  4. Garden & Grass Cutting
  5. Vacant Land Care
  6. Utility Bill Handling
  7. Security / Vacancy Checks
  8. Emergency Response Support
  9. Arrival Preparation

No. Service selection represents your requested support preferences. The final approved service package may depend on staff review, property suitability, operational feasibility, and final pricing confirmation.

The estimate calculator produces a provisional monthly maintenance estimate based on the registered property details and selected services.

The calculator result is not a final quotation. It is an initial planning estimate before staff review and final care-plan confirmation.

A staff-reviewed final care plan may include:

  • Approved monthly care-plan title
  • Final monthly fee
  • Included services
  • Exclusions
  • Service start date
  • Operational notes
  • Staff review remarks

A care plan may become active after staff finalization, owner review or acceptance where required, and completion of the relevant payment step or other activation requirement.

Payments

Payment Center, Monthly Plan Fees, and Recurring Charges

Questions about when amounts become payable and how recurring care-plan payments work.

Payment becomes relevant after a care plan or payable service charge is finalized and appears in your Property Care Payment Center as a due payable item.

The Payment Center may show:

  • Due payable items
  • Upcoming payable items
  • Paid items
  • Monthly Property Care plan fees
  • Other approved Property Care charges where applicable

Yes, where a finalized monthly care plan is active, the system may create recurring monthly payable items. After one monthly plan fee is marked paid, the next billing-cycle payable item may be generated.

Depending on the final payment setup, the platform may support:

  • Card payments through a supported checkout flow
  • PayPal where enabled
  • Wallet balance or internal credit where available
  • Other methods introduced later

Refunds, cancellations, credits, billing adjustments, and disputes should be explained in the dedicated Refund & Payment Policy page for the Property Care platform.

Access & Emergency Support

Property Access, Key Holding, and Urgent Response

Questions about how the team accesses a property and what emergency response means.

Some services may require access to the property. Access requirements depend on the selected services, the final care plan, and the approved operational arrangement.

If you require key-holding or controlled access support, that need can be indicated in your property details. Ensolanka may apply separate procedures, authorizations, and operational conditions before accepting that responsibility.

Emergency response support refers to help with urgent property concerns, such as arranging a quick inspection, coordinating initial response steps, or checking a property when an urgent issue is reported.

Emergency response support does not guarantee prevention of loss, instant resolution, or automatic contractor repair work.

No. Emergency access permission should be used only within the approved service framework and when there is a reasonable need for urgent property inspection, risk prevention, or immediate response coordination.

Reports & Service Tracking

Visits, Photos, Inspection Reports, and Work Orders

Questions about the long-term visibility and reporting value of the Property Care app.

Yes, the owner-facing report center is intended to present maintenance activity such as scheduled and completed visits, visit purpose, staff updates, and other service-related details as the reporting module is connected.

Yes. The system supports visit photo records such as before photos, after photos, issue evidence, general property views, and completion proof. Photos can be marked owner-visible where appropriate.

An inspection report is a formal service record created from a property visit. It may summarize visible property condition, garden condition, utility status, structural concerns, security observations, and recommended follow-up actions.

A repair work order may be created if an issue is found. A work order can track urgency, quotation need, owner approval, estimated cost, progress, final cost, and completion status.

No. Reports are service records and property-care transparency tools. They are not automatically engineering certifications, legal inspection reports, property valuations, or insurance assessment documents unless a separate professional service is specifically arranged.

Connected Opportunities

Rental Owner and Affiliate Profile Activation

Questions about extending the same user account into other Ensolanka service areas.

Yes. Where enabled, a Property Care owner can activate Rental Owner access using the same user account. Basic information may be reused to create the profile, after which the owner can enter the Rental Dashboard.

Yes, this can be supported where implemented. A Property Care property may serve as a starting point for creating a rental listing, but the owner must review rental-specific information before any listing is considered ready.

Creating a rental listing does not automatically make it public, approved, featured, or guaranteed to attract tenants.

Yes. Where enabled, a Property Care owner can activate Affiliate access using the same Ensolanka login and then open the Affiliate Dashboard.

Yes. When you activate another service profile, the policies and Terms & Conditions of that specific app or service area also apply in addition to your Property Care access.
