Property Management and Key holding

We offer a key holding Service up to full property management and full holiday rental Services. We are fully scaleable. Please come and discuss this with us and we are happy to offer you the best package to suit your needs.

It can be worrying to have a property that you only visit occasionally and not knowing what you will find on arrival. Because of this many people prefer the comfort of knowing that their holiday home is being regularly checked to ensure that any problems that do arise do not become massive ones. At the very least you should have someone local to ventilate your property on a regular basis to help prevent humidity related damage, and flush the toilets and run the taps to stop the build-up of unpleasant smells.

Many people prefer the security of a more formal arrangement through a Property Management agreement. As requirements differ according to usage, we have these options from which to choose, all of which can be tailored to your specific requirements: -

Option 1 - Standard Service (from 480€ per year)

• Monthly inspection visit with additional visits after storms as necessary

Option 3 - Home-Care service (for those taking just a few weeks/months away)
