Keyholding · Property checks

Someone you trust with the keys

A trusted local contact in Estepona who holds your keys securely, checks the property on an agreed rhythm, and is there when a plumber, a guest or a storm needs someone present.

How it works

Simple, documented and on your schedule.

  • ·Keys stored securely and never labelled with your address
  • ·Visits weekly, fortnightly or monthly — whatever suits the property
  • ·Photo report after each visit, sent to you on WhatsApp or email
  • ·Extra checks after heavy rain, storms or calima
  • ·Access for tradespeople, cleaners, inspections and community works
  • ·Arrival preparation before you or your guests land
What it prevents

An empty home that does not look empty.

Mail cleared, blinds moved, lights varied, terraces used — a monitored property is a far less attractive target for illegal occupancy, and early detection matters enormously in Andalucía. Documented visits also help when an insurer asks for evidence of care.

The full picture is in our property care guide, and keyholding pairs naturally with full property management in Estepona.

Renting out

Keys for guests, without the stress.

If you rent, key handover is where stays go right or wrong. We handle access, arrival and the turnover in between — see holiday rental management.

FAQ

Keyholding in Estepona: your questions.

How are my keys kept secure?
Keys are stored securely and never labelled with your address or the property name, so a lost or stolen key cannot be matched to a home.
What does a property check include?
Water, electricity and appliances, signs of damp or leaks, window and terrace-door seals, terrace drains, post, and the general condition of the home inside and out. Each visit ends with a photo report.
What do you check after a storm?
After heavy rain or a gota fría we look at terrace drains, roof terraces, window and door seals, shutters and any sign of water ingress — the problems that turn into expensive damage when nobody opens the door for weeks.
Can you let in a plumber, cleaner or community workers while I am away?
Yes. Access for tradespeople, inspections and community works is a normal part of keyholding, and you receive confirmation and photos afterwards.
Does keyholding help against illegal occupancy?
It helps significantly. A property that is visited regularly does not look empty — post is cleared, blinds and lights vary, terraces are used — and early detection matters enormously in Andalucía. Documented visits also help when an insurer asks for evidence of care.
