THE SERVICE

Three things, done in person.

We hold your key, visit the property with a dated photo report and prepare it for the day you arrive. Here is each one in detail.

01

Key holding

Your key stays with us while you are away, and is used only for what you have authorised.

Coded
Your key is stored under a code, without your name or address.
It leaves for two reasons only
A scheduled visit or the tradesperson you authorise.
Tradespeople, during working hours
We hand the key to the plumber, the alarm engineer or whoever you tell us.
Also without visits
If you only need key holding, the Key plan costs 120 € a year.
02

Visits with a photo report

One or two visits a month, in person. After each one you receive a report with the verdict, the checks and the photographs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What owners ask us before handing over the key.

What exactly is key holding?

We keep a copy of the key to your property while you are away, use it only for the agreed visits and hand it only to those you authorise. It is not an alarm or security service.

What happens if you find an issue?

If it is minor, we resolve it during the visit at no cost. If not, we write to you with what has happened, where, what we propose, the estimated cost and how urgent it is. If it is serious, we telephone you.

Do you check the house after a storm or a DANA?

Yes. On the Villa plan, the check after a storm is included.

Do you work with holiday lets or with owners of several properties?

Yes. We have a special service for holiday lets and multi-property owners, with a tailored proposal. Write to us and we will send it to you.

Which languages do you work in?

Spanish and English.

Tell us where your home is.

We will reply with availability in your area and the name of the person who would visit it.
