Home care and keyholding in Fuengirola
We look after your home while you're away, with regular visits and the in-house team of a renovation company for when something breaks. A tailored proposal with services, frequency and terms in writing.
In short
We look after your home while you're away: one visit a month or one a week, depending on the plan, with photos and video of each visit, keyholding and checks on locks and utilities. 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. Fuengirola packs 85,211 inhabitants into 10.36 km², with three commuter stops inside the municipality: reaching any incident is quick.
How we start
- 01We visit the home, look at its condition, access and installations, and agree what to check on each visit.
- 02We send you a tailored proposal with services, frequency and terms in writing; the contract is signed digitally.
- 03We collect the keys and, if you wish, install the smart lock and sensors. From then on, every visit is documented in your owner area.
What we do while you're away
- 01
1. Visits with a report and photos
One visit a month or one a week, depending on the plan. On each visit we check locks and access points, signs of occupation, water and possible leaks, power and general condition, and document it with photos and video in your owner area.
- 02
2. Keyholding
We hold your keys under control, with a limited number of authorised people, and let in tradespeople, deliveries or you on arrival.
- 03
3. Technology, if you want it
A camera you can access, a front-door opening sensor with alerts, motion and noise sensors, and smart-home access control. Most useful when the home is empty.
- 04
4. Repairs by our own team
Plumbing, electrics, air conditioning and building work are done by our own people. That's the difference from a keys-only company: there's no one to go looking for.
- 05
5. Signs of occupation
We check locks and access points on every visit and tell you if we see anything, within the timescales agreed in writing. What we don't do, because it is a matter for the police or the courts, is take part in an eviction.
- 06
6. Extras, depending on your home
Pool and garden, mail and parcels, meeting tradespeople or having the home cleaned before you arrive. They go in the proposal, not in a fixed package.

Local rules in Fuengirola
In Fuengirola, the municipal grant that refunds the equivalent of 30% of the IBI, vehicle tax and waste bills only reaches residents on the municipal register. If you keep a second home here and are not registered, you pay the full bill: this is what surprises foreign owners most. And since 2026 the rules also expressly exclude properties used as tourist dwellings, in case you ever decide to let it.

municipal grant, registered residents only
The town hall refunds the equivalent of 30% of the IBI, vehicle and waste bills to those on the municipal register. A non-resident's second home pays the full bill.

About 8,225 inhabitants per km², more than twice Torremolinos. A compact town: journeys between visits are short.

Fuengirola is the end of the line; Los Boliches and Torreblanca complete the municipal stops. Note: the «Carvajal» station is within Fuengirola, but Carvajal as a population centre belongs to Benalmádena.

Registered with the Andalusian registry as of 22-09-2026, in a municipality of 10.36 km². If your home stands empty much of the year, it helps to know how much turnover there is around it.

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.
- Plumbing
- Electrical work
- Air conditioning
- Painting and building work
- Carpentry
- Maintenance
- 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.”
