“Very happy with the service. They advised us from the design stage through to choosing the materials. The team is approachable and proactive, and the final finish exceeded our expectations.”

Home care
Home care and keyholding for non-resident owners
We look after your home while you're away, with regular visits, technology in the home and the in-house team of a renovation company for when something breaks.
In short
We look after your Costa del Sol home while you're away, with one visit a month or one a week, depending on the plan, with photos and video of the visits and keyholding. If you wish, we install a camera you can access, a door-opening sensor and smart-home control. If something breaks, our own team fixes it. Every owner receives a tailored proposal with services, frequency and terms in writing.
Frequency and proposal
One visit a month or one a week, depending on the property and what you need. A tailored proposal with services, frequency and terms in writing.
On the visits
- We check locks, access points and any sign of occupation
- We check utilities: water, power and possible leaks
- We take photos and video of the state of the home
- We leave it in your online area and tell you about incidents, as agreed in writing
Technology in the home
- Camera with owner access; in villas, more than one depending on size
- Door-opening sensor with alerts: openings are logged
- Motion and noise sensors, useful when the home is empty
- Smart-home access control: we know who enters and when
If you need it, also
- Pool and garden maintenance
- Mail and parcel handling
- Meeting tradespeople on your behalf
- Cleaning before you arrive
If something breaks
Our own plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning and building team fixes it. That's the difference from a keys-only company: there's no one to go looking for.
Signs of occupation
On the visits we check locks and access points and tell you if we see any sign of occupation, within the timescales agreed in writing. A home with regular presence and no mail piling up is a far less attractive target than one nobody has entered for months. What we don't do, because it is a matter for the police or the courts, is take part in an eviction.

How it works
Your home looked after and under control, even from thousands of kilometres away
We are your eyes on the Costa del Sol. And when something happens, we are also the team that can fix it.
- 01
Detection
Sensors never forget to look. A water leak, a door opening, damp or a temperature spike raises an alert there and then, not at next month's visit.
- 02
Alert
The alert reaches our team and is logged in your owner's area. You can see it whenever you want, wherever you are.
- 03
Check
Someone goes to your home and looks. With photos, and with video when it matters. A sensor says something is happening; a person says what it is.
- 04
Action
We shut off whatever needs shutting off — water, power — and make the property safe. That first move is what stops a small problem from swallowing a whole flat.
- 05
Repair, if you approve it
We send you what happened and what it costs to fix. If you say yes, our own team does the work. We are not hunting for a trade or waiting for someone to turn up: they are our people. Repairs and materials are always quoted separately.
- 06
Report
It is written down: what happened, who went in, what was done and what it cost. And it stays in your owner's area for whenever you need it.
Behind Property Care is Costa del Sol Reformas
Property Care is the management arm of a renovation company with its own team, trading since 2010 and offering a five-year guarantee on the work it carries out. That is why step 5 is not subcontracted: we coordinate and resolve with our own trades.

- Electrical work
- Air conditioning
- Painting and building work

- Smart-home systems
The camera is only installed where it is legal and technically appropriate, and never inside a home let to guests.

“They renovated my business premises and everything went smoothly. They met the deadlines, which was vital for me to open on time. The plasterboard partitioning turned out impeccable. You can tell they have a lot of experience with commercial premises.”
