Professional local property oversight
Peace of mind for your empty Spanish home
Your home. Our care.
Discreet, dependable local care while you are away.
We provide secure keyholding, scheduled property inspections and clear updates for owners of apartments and villas in Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena and Fuengirola.
Prevention begins with visibility
Locking the door and setting the alarm are important, but they cannot reveal a developing leak, accumulated post or another problem inside the property. Regular checks help identify concerns before they become significantly more difficult or expensive to resolve.
Regular visits help identify signs of forced entry or unauthorised occupation quickly. There is no simple statutory 48-hour rule, but early discovery helps preserve evidence and allows the owner and police to be notified without unnecessary delay.

Heavy rain can expose terrace, roof or window leaks, while prolonged coastal humidity may encourage damp and mould. Calima dust can also collect around exterior areas and drainage points. Visual inspections help identify warning signs while action can still be taken early.
When taps, showers and toilets remain unused, water seals in plumbing traps can evaporate and allow unpleasant odours into the home. Running the water and checking visible pipework also provides an opportunity to identify drips, corrosion or moisture.
An overflowing mailbox advertises that a property may be unoccupied and important correspondence can easily be missed. Depending on your package, we can collect, sort and scan post, while Gold Compliance Care also includes Digital Certificate monitoring for Spanish administrative alerts.
Regular checks cannot prevent every incident. They provide something equally important: a reliable local presence capable of identifying, documenting and reporting concerns while you are away.
Compare Care PlansA consistent inspection routine
Scheduled inspections follow an agreed routine appropriate to your property and care plan. We look for visible changes, carry out practical preventative checks and keep you informed about the condition of your home.
Clear checks. Clear communication. No unnecessary work.
We air the property during scheduled visits where weather and security conditions allow.
Taps and showers are run and toilets flushed to replenish water traps and reveal visible plumbing concerns.
We check for obvious electrical trips and inspect agreed appliances or equipment left operating while you are away.
Visible ceilings, windowsills, floors and accessible pipework are checked for signs of water ingress, leaks or developing damp.
Accessible doors, windows, shutters and grilles are checked for visible damage, interference or security concerns.
Silver and Gold plans include collecting, sorting and digitally scanning relevant post so important correspondence is not overlooked.
Gold Compliance Care includes a named local keyholder contact for your alarm company, subject to provider requirements.
Before leaving, we confirm that agreed access points are secured and that the property has been left as instructed.
Inspection activities depend on your selected care plan, property access and the routine agreed with you. We will not commission non-emergency work without your approval.

A client’s experience
Excellent property care and key holding service from Del and the team. They took great care of my property while I was away and looked after every detail, giving me complete peace of mind. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly recommended!
We can start your Spanish-registered vehicle, run the air conditioning, check tyre pressures and monitor the battery. ITV attendance may also be arranged where appropriate.
Additional attendance may be arranged for an alarm activation, suspected break-in, fire, water incident or another urgent property concern, subject to availability and agreed call-out terms.
Before your return, we can air the property, restore agreed utilities, prepare the climate controls and arrange a basic grocery shop so your home is ready when you arrive.
We can provide authorised access, coordinate a contractor’s attendance, keep you informed and ensure the property is secured again when the agreed visit is complete.
If an issue requires somebody to attend during office hours, we can visit the property, document the situation and report back to you.
Tell us what needs to be handled and we will confirm whether it falls within our service area and availability.

These are the questions owners most frequently ask about our non-rental property-care service, inspection updates, key security and additional support.
No. We specialise in caring for private, non-rental properties. We do not manage guest changeovers, holiday lets or Airbnb check-ins. This allows our attention to remain on the condition, security and privacy of your home.
Following a scheduled inspection, we send the appropriate photo or WhatsApp video update for your care plan. This provides a clear record that the property has been visited and allows us to show you any concern we have identified.
We document the situation and contact you as soon as possible. Where safe and within the agreed service scope, we may take an immediate protective step such as isolating an accessible water supply.
Further work, contractor attendance or insurance coordination is discussed with you unless urgent action is required under an arrangement agreed in advance.
A helpful neighbour can be valuable, but they may travel, have other commitments or feel uncomfortable taking responsibility for regular inspections and contractor access.
A professional service provides an agreed routine, documented communication, secure key handling and a clear point of responsibility while you are away.
Gold Compliance Care includes support relating to your annual Modelo 210 non-resident property tax obligation. Our accountancy team can also prepare and file the return for an additional fee.
