01 / Investment Essentials06 QUESTIONS

The art of investing

01What types of properties can I invest in with Odiliya Premier?

Odiliya Premier focuses on selected luxury residential properties, apartments and ICON villa investment opportunities. The available ownership model, features and terms differ by development.

02What makes Odiliya Premier different from a traditional property purchase?

Alongside lifestyle-focused residences, selected ICON developments offer an investment-oriented approach with managed hospitality operations. Every project should be evaluated on its own ownership documents and commercial terms.

03Can I purchase a property for investment rather than personal use?

Yes. Depending on the project, buyers may explore long-term ownership, leasing or participation in a managed villa model. Ask the team which options are available for your preferred property.

04Are the properties suitable for overseas investors?

Overseas buyers can enquire about opportunities, but eligibility, permitted ownership structures, taxes and documentation depend on nationality and current Sri Lankan law. Obtain independent legal advice before committing.

05How do I compare two investment opportunities?

Consider location, purchase price, project status, ownership terms, recurring costs, rental assumptions, resale options and the quality of property management. Request project-specific documents before comparing potential returns.

06How can I receive details about a specific project?

Contact Odiliya Premier and request the current brochure, pricing, availability, floor plans and relevant investment documents for the development you are considering.

02 / ICON Villa Investments08 QUESTIONS

Ownership with possibility

01What is the ICON investment concept?

ICON brings together premium villa ownership and hospitality-focused property management in selected coastal destinations. Specific services and commercial arrangements are confirmed in each project agreement.

02Where are ICON developments located?

The referenced ICON portfolio includes Galle, Mirissa and Talpe, with availability varying by development. Contact the team for the latest project status.

03How does the ICON profit-sharing model work?

The published ICON concept describes a 70% share of net profit for the villa owner and 30% for the management company, after operating expenses. Confirm whether this applies to your selected project and review the full definition of net profit in its agreement.

04Is the advertised 30–40% ROI guaranteed?

No. Any quoted return should be treated as a projection or marketing estimate, not a guaranteed result. Actual performance may vary with occupancy, rates, expenses, market conditions and the contractual structure.

05Can I use my ICON villa for personal stays?

Owner-stay privileges may depend on the project and management agreement. Ask about permitted nights, advance booking requirements and whether personal use changes income distribution.

06Who handles guest bookings and day-to-day operations?

Under the described managed ICON model, Odiliya handles functions such as guest reservations, marketing, housekeeping and property operations. Confirm the precise scope, fees and service standards for your development.

07Will I receive reports about my villa’s performance?

Ask the management team about owner statements, reporting frequency, occupancy data, expense breakdowns and payment schedules. These requirements should be documented in the contract.

08What expenses are deducted before profit is shared?

This depends on the agreement and may involve staffing, utilities, maintenance, marketing, platform charges and other operating costs. Request an itemised explanation and worked example before investing.

03 / Apartments & Residencies08 QUESTIONS

Spaces to call your own

01What residential properties does Odiliya Premier offer?

The Odiliya portfolio includes luxury apartments and residential developments in selected Sri Lankan locations. Available unit types and specifications vary by project.

02How can I check which apartments are available?

Request an updated unit availability list from the sales team. Project pages and brochures provide an overview, but reservations and sales can change.

03Can I choose between different floor plans?

Where multiple unit layouts are offered, you can compare floor area, room configuration, views and orientation. Availability of a specific layout is subject to the current inventory.

04Are Odiliya Premier apartments suitable for long-term living?

Many residential properties are designed around everyday comfort and convenient access to local amenities. Review the particular development’s location, specifications and facilities to ensure it suits your needs.

05What should I ask before purchasing an apartment?

Request the approved plans, exact unit area, title and ownership information, expected completion or handover status, payment schedule, common-area arrangements and any recurring charges.

06Do apartments come furnished?

Furnishing packages and included fixtures vary by project. Always check the written specification or sale agreement rather than assuming the marketing images represent the included fit-out.

07Are parking spaces included?

Parking arrangements differ by property and unit. Verify the number of spaces, whether they are allocated or owned and any separate fees.

08Can I view a property before making a decision?

Speak with the sales team about site visits, show units, project walkthroughs or virtual presentations where these are available.

04 / Rental Income & Returns07 QUESTIONS

Understanding the numbers

01Can a luxury apartment generate rental income?

Potentially. Rental demand depends on location, layout, market conditions, property condition and the rental strategy. Income is not guaranteed.

02What affects the rental potential of a villa?

Occupancy, room rates, destination appeal, seasonal demand, guest reviews, ongoing maintenance and management costs can all influence financial performance.

03How are rental income and investment profit different?

Rental income is the revenue received from letting a property. Profit is what remains after relevant operating costs and contractual deductions. A profit-share percentage should not be confused with a percentage of gross bookings.

04How should I evaluate an ROI estimate?

Ask for the assumptions behind the forecast, including acquisition cost, expected occupancy, room rates, annual expenses, fees, taxes and sensitivity to weaker performance.

05Will property values always appreciate?

No. Property values can rise or fall depending on economic conditions, supply and demand, location and property condition. Any appreciation should be viewed as uncertain.

06Are there recurring expenses after purchase?

There may be insurance, service charges, utilities, repairs, taxes and property-management costs. The actual obligations depend on whether you own an apartment, private residence or managed villa.

07Can returns vary from year to year?

Yes. Rental income and net profit can fluctuate with tourism, tenant demand, operating expenses and changing market conditions.

05 / Property Management06 QUESTIONS

Considered care, every day

01What does professional property management involve?

Services can include tenant or guest coordination, marketing, housekeeping, routine upkeep, maintenance oversight and reporting. The scope varies by project and contract.

02Does Odiliya manage every property it sells?

Do not assume so. Selected ICON offerings describe a managed model, while other residential properties may follow different arrangements. Confirm management availability for the exact property.

03Can I appoint my own property manager?

Your ability to use a third-party manager depends on the project’s ownership rules and any exclusive management clauses. Review these terms before purchasing.

04Who is responsible for repairs and maintenance?

Responsibility is determined by the ownership documents, building rules and management agreement. Ask which repairs are covered, how costs are approved and who pays for major replacements.

05How are guests or tenants selected?

For a managed property, the operating team may handle reservations and screening according to its policies. Request information about booking standards, house rules and damage procedures.

06What happens if a managed property is temporarily vacant?

Vacancy may reduce or eliminate rental revenue during that period, while some fixed costs may continue. Ask how costs and reporting are handled when there are no bookings.

06 / Buying & Ownership07 QUESTIONS

From interest to ownership

01How do I begin the purchase process?

Start by selecting a development and asking for current availability, pricing and documentation. You can then review the terms, arrange a viewing and discuss reservation steps with the sales team.

02Is a reservation payment required?

Reservation policies differ by development. Ask for the exact amount, due date, refund terms and whether it forms part of the purchase price before making a payment.

03Are instalment payment plans available?

Payment schedules and any staged-payment options are project-specific. The sales team can provide the current terms in writing.

04What documents should I review before signing?

Review the sale agreement, title and legal documents, approved plans, specification, completion milestones, fee schedule and—where relevant—the management and profit-sharing agreement with an independent adviser.

05Are there additional taxes or legal fees?

There may be government charges, taxes, professional fees and other transaction costs. Their treatment depends on the property and buyer circumstances; request an itemised estimate.

06When will I receive possession of my property?

Handover timing depends on whether a development is completed or under construction. Refer to the contractual completion and handover provisions rather than promotional timelines.

07Can I resell my property later?

Resale is generally a key consideration, but any restrictions, consents and transfer costs depend on the property title and contract. Seek legal advice on the relevant terms.

07 / Locations & Developments06 QUESTIONS

A sense of place

01Which locations feature in the Odiliya residential portfolio?

The referenced portfolio includes destinations such as Negombo, Wattala, Panadura, Kadawatha and Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Project availability changes.

02What is Platinum 10 Negombo?

Platinum 10 is presented as an exclusive collection of ten luxury villas in Negombo, with private amenities and a gated residential setting. Request the latest price and remaining availability directly.

03What lifestyle features are highlighted at Platinum 10?

Its brochure describes four bedrooms, private swimming pool, private gym, landscaped garden, furnished living spaces and dedicated parking. Confirm the specification of your chosen villa.

04What is ICON V Talpe?

ICON V Talpe is positioned as a premium coastal villa investment development within the wider Galle region. Ask the team for the latest project details, unit availability and ownership structure.

05How important is location when buying for investment?

Transport access, neighbourhood quality, proximity to employment or tourism demand and future local development can affect both liveability and potential rental appeal.

06How do I choose between a city apartment and a coastal villa?

Begin with your primary goal: personal living, long-term rental, occasional stays or hospitality-oriented investment. Then compare costs, management requirements, expected usage and risk.

08 / Support & Next Steps05 QUESTIONS

A conversation worth having

01Can the team help me compare developments?

You can request a consultation to discuss project differences, pricing, ownership and lifestyle needs. Consider getting independent legal and financial advice before committing.

02Can I request floor plans and a project brochure?

Yes. Ask the sales team for the latest available brochures, layouts, specifications and relevant project documents.

03How do I arrange a site visit or consultation?

Contact Odiliya Premier through the website or the published sales phone numbers to request an appointment.

04Can I ask questions if I live outside Sri Lanka?

Yes. Overseas enquiries can begin remotely. Ask what documents can be provided digitally and whether video presentations are offered.

05Where can I clarify legal and investment terms?

Ask the sales team for written project documents and review them with an independent lawyer and qualified financial professional familiar with Sri Lankan property transactions.
