In today’s fast-paced property development landscape, time and talent are two of your most
valuable assets. Yet many developers find themselves stretched thin, juggling planning,
admin, finance, and project delivery—with no time left to focus on business growth. That’s
where hiring a virtual assistant, or what we at Cosy Hauz call a virtual expert, can be a
game-changer.
Let’s explore why hiring a virtual assistant could be the smartest move you make for your
business.
The Real Cost of Doing It All Yourself
When you’re wearing too many hats, the quality of your work suffers. From site sourcing,
planning, and contractor coordination to handling tenants, legal paperwork, and admin
tasks—doing it all yourself can overwhelm your workload. This takes time away from what
really matters: developing and scaling your business.
The opportunity cost of not delegating these tasks is significant. Many business owners in
property development hit a ceiling not because they lack ideas or opportunities, but because
they’re overwhelmed.
What a Virtual Assistant Can Actually Do for You
A Virtual Assistant (VA) supports business functions remotely, commonly in administrative
tasks. But in the property development sector, the right VA can go beyond admin support
and contribute to core business operations.
VAs can support you across functions such as:
- Property management
- Bookkeeping and accounting
- Marketing
- Property conveyancing
- Planning research and council communications
- Architectural design
- Project management support
- Quantity surveying
Cost-Effectiveness Without Compromising Quality
Hiring locally for administrative or specialised roles in the UK can be costly, factoring in
expenses like salaries, pensions, and other overheads.
In contrast, hiring virtual assistants from countries like the Philippines can cost as little as
20–30% of local hiring costs, without compromising on quality. You get to save on office
space and equipment, payroll taxes, pension contributions, and other related expenses.
Why Virtual Assistants from the Philippines Stand Out
The Philippines is a global hub for top-tier virtual talent. They are known for being:
- Highly educated and fluent in English
- Culturally aligned with global working standards, having work experience in countries like the US, Australia, and Middle East
- Loyal and having strong work ethic
Their adaptability and professionalism make them valuable long-term team members, not just temporary help.
Why We Call Them Virtual Experts at Cosy Hauz
Our virtual team members are more than assistants. They’re:

Academy and SAP-certification for energy calculations
