Owning a second home hundreds of miles away brings worry: an undetected leak, a shutter broken after a storm, or a pool left unattended for months. Our maintenance service gives you the peace of mind that someone you trust is watching over your home all year round.
We work on an annual contract with scheduled visits. On each check we inspect the general condition, services, damp and openings, then email you a report with photos. You decide from your own country, with all the information in front of you.
We also coordinate the trades and suppliers — pool maintenance, gardening, cleaning and small repairs — through a single point of contact. And when you plan to visit, we get the home ready: aired, water and power checked, so there are no surprises when you open the door.

The full scope of Property Maintenance works
Every job we take on within this service, with the detail of how we carry it out. The price is always fixed after the survey.
Checks and key-holding
Scheduled periodic check
- What we do
- A full walk-round of the property on the agreed schedule.
- How we do it
- We work through a fixed list — water, power, damp, windows and doors, shutters, appliances and outside — and photograph the same points every time. Comparing photos between visits catches the stain that is spreading or the crack that is moving before it becomes building work.
Key-holding
- What we do
- We hold your keys so we can get in for any check or incident.
- How we do it
- They are stored by code rather than by address, in a locked cabinet, and every collection and return is logged with a date. There is always a record of who entered your home and when.
Photo report by email
- What we do
- A report with photos of the property after every visit.
- How we do it
- We send the photos and anything we have found along with our recommendation, in English. If a decision is needed we put it to you with options and a price — you decide from home with the information in front of you.
Post and official notices
- What we do
- Clearing the postbox and flagging anything important.
- How we do it
- We empty the box each visit and photograph anything that looks to matter — community, utilities, town hall — so you do not miss a deadline while you are away. An overflowing postbox also advertises to the street that the house is empty.
Utility monitoring
- What we do
- Keeping an eye on water and power consumption in an empty house.
- How we do it
- We record the meter reading at every visit. Water use in an empty house is the earliest sign of a leak, and more often than not we catch it before a stain ever appears on the wall.
A house closed up for months
Airing and humidity control
- What we do
- Keeping mould and that shut-up smell out during long absences.
- How we do it
- We air the property each visit and leave wardrobes ajar. In homes prone to it we fit permanent low-energy ventilation: on this coast a house closed from June to September builds up enough humidity to ruin mattresses and clothing.
Traps and drain smells
- What we do
- Preventing the sewer smell that greets you after months away.
- How we do it
- We refill the traps on showers, utility sinks and gullies that see little use. In the heat they evaporate, and a dry trap lets the smell from the stack straight into the living room.
Salt-air protection
- What we do
- Looking after joinery, ironmongery and metalwork in front-line properties.
- How we do it
- We check and grease tracks, hinges and catches, and tell you when the railing or awning starts to pit. Sea air attacks anything metal continuously, and acting early saves replacing the whole item.
Limescale in taps and appliances
- What we do
- Managing what hard water does to a system left standing.
- How we do it
- We run water through every outlet and drain the hot water tank when due. The hard water here drops scale in a system left standing, and a tank unused for months is the classic first-day-of-the-holiday breakdown.
The pool out of season
- What we do
- Coordinating pool care when nobody is there.
- How we do it
- We coordinate treatment and filtration with the pool contractor and confirm on our visits that the water, level and pump are as they should be. Rescuing a neglected pool costs far more than keeping a dormant one right.
Storms, emergencies and security
Check after a storm or gota fría
- What we do
- Inspecting the property after heavy rain or strong winds.
- How we do it
- After a weather warning we go without waiting to be asked: we check terrace gullies, the roof, shutters, awnings and for any water ingress. A blocked gully turns a terrace into a pond and the water ends up inside the living room.
Containing the damage
- What we do
- Immediate action to stop damage spreading while you are away.
- How we do it
- We shut off the mains or the affected section, pump out, protect whatever could get wet and send you photos with a quote. We contain first and repair afterwards with your approval — we never carry out significant work without your go-ahead.
Small repairs
- What we do
- Sorting minor faults before they turn into something bigger.
- How we do it
- We replace a shutter strap, a cistern mechanism, a socket or a lock within the same visit where the job is small and you approve it by email — with no separate call-out to pay.
Break-in response
- What we do
- Attending a forced door, broken glass or a triggered alarm.
- How we do it
- We attend, document it with photos for the report and secure the property the same day with boarding or a temporary cylinder change. We send you the report you need for the insurer and the police statement.
Dealing with the community
- What we do
- Being your practical point of contact with the owners’ association.
- How we do it
- We take in notices about works, the ITE building inspection or special levies and tell you what affects you and by when. If the administrator needs access to your flat for a communal fault, we open up with your authorisation.
Your arrival and managing it remotely
Getting the house ready before you arrive
- What we do
- The home ready for the day you land.
- How we do it
- We air it, check water, power, hot water and air conditioning, start the pool and schedule the cleaner for the days before. So when you open the door everything works and you do not lose the first day of your holiday phoning an engineer.
Closing the house up when you leave
- What we do
- Leaving the property set up for the months it will stand empty.
- How we do it
- We shut the mains and the sectional valves, close the shutters, protect outdoor furniture and disconnect anything that should not stay live. Most floods in empty houses start with a mains valve nobody turned off.
Meeting deliveries and trades
- What we do
- Letting suppliers, engineers and couriers in while you are abroad.
- How we do it
- We stay with the engineer for the whole visit — we never leave anyone alone in your home — and send you photos of the work done. One point of contact for every trade, dealing with them in Spanish, with you in your own country.
Overseeing a renovation in your absence
- What we do
- Keeping track of major works while you are not in Spain.
- How we do it
- We act as your eyes on site: progress visits, photos at each stage and a call when something drifts from what was agreed. We coordinate by email and video call in your time zone.
Adjusting the annual contract
- What we do
- Changing the frequency and services included as your plans change.
- How we do it
- We revisit the contract when you go from two weeks a year to letting the house out or moving over permanently. Different use needs a different plan, and there is no sense paying for monthly visits to a house that is now lived in.

Property Maintenance: frequently asked questions in Alicante
How much does annual property maintenance cost?
It depends on the visit frequency, the size of the home and whether it includes pool, garden or cleaning. An apartment on a quarterly check is not the same as a villa with a pool and monthly visits. We tailor the contract to your needs. Request a free, no-obligation personalised quote.
How do you keep me informed if I live abroad?
After each visit we email you a report with photos of the home and any issue. We coordinate by email and video call, and in an emergency we contact you immediately with options and a quote before doing anything. Remote owners are exactly who this service is built for.
Can you prepare the house before we arrive?
Yes. Before you travel we air the property, check water, power and appliances, start up the pool if there is one and leave the home clean and ready. So when you open the door everything works and you enjoy it from day one.
What do you do if there is a storm or a fault while I am away?
We act quickly. With your keys in our care we go to the home, contain the damage — a leak, a shutter or a broken pane — and send you photos with a repair quote. We never carry out major work without your approval.
Are the repairs you make covered?
Yes. The small repairs and works we carry out under the contract come with a 2-year guarantee on our workmanship. Materials also keep their manufacturers’ warranties.
