Your house in Zimbabwe, looked after like you're still there.
We check on your property, handle what breaks, and show you the proof, photos, invoices, and reports, wherever in the world you are.
Welcome to Millicent Homes
Millicent Homes started with a simple observation: Zimbabweans abroad aren't short of love for the homes they've left behind, they're short of a reliable way to look after them.
Family members and Contractors are hard to monitor from another country. Money sent doesn't always end up being spent on repairs. We built Millicent Homes as the trusted proffesional company you need on the ground, so you're never left guessing what's happening to your property.
Our Work
Real properties, real results. Every job is documented with before-and-after proof, not just told to you, shown to you.
Our services are supported by an experienced team of technicians with a combined work experience of 120 years in the following fields:

What homeowners are saying
A few words from our diasporan clients.
"I live in London and haven't set foot in my house in two years. The monthly reports mean I know exactly what's happening, down to the photos. It's the first time I've felt properly connected to it."
— R.Maphosa., Bulawayo, London"What sold me was that nothing gets fixed without my say-so first. No surprise invoices, no guessing where the money went. Just a quote, my approval, then proof it was done."
— T.Chitima., Texas, Harare"My family used to be the ones checking on the house, and it wore them out. Handing that over to Millicent Homes was a relief for all of us, not just me."
