Simple Process
A simple local setup for secure keys, regular checks and fast help when something needs attention.
1
We first understand your property, location, access, current condition and what level of support you need.
This can be done in person or by video if you are abroad.
2
We agree which keys are needed and how they will be stored and used.
We also record any important access instructions, alarm details, gate instructions, water stopcock location and contractor contacts where relevant.
3
We agree your package, inspection frequency, reporting method and any extra services needed.
Most owners prefer WhatsApp for quick updates and email for formal records.
4
We inspect the property as agreed and send clear updates.
If everything is fine, you get a simple confirmation.
If something needs attention, you get photos, details and practical options.
5
When access is needed, we coordinate it.
If a problem happens, we help you deal with it locally instead of leaving you trying to manage everything from another country.
When you are not in Spain, small problems can become expensive very quickly.
These are not dramatic problems at the beginning. They become serious when nobody checks the property.
That is where our keyholding service helps.
We act as your local contact in Axarquía. We keep secure access to your property, visit when agreed, check the main risk areas, report back clearly, and help arrange practical solutions when something needs attention.
No vague updates. No “we’ll let you know”.
You get clear communication, photos where needed, and practical action.

Keyholding Axarquía FAQs
Everything you need to know about our keyholdingservice in Axarquía.
Keyholding means we securely hold a copy of your property keys and can access your home when needed. This may be for inspections, emergencies, contractor visits, guest access, cleaning coordination or pre-arrival checks.
For owners who live abroad or only visit Spain part-time, keyholding gives you a local contact who can act when you are not in Axarquía.
Yes. We provide keyholding for rural fincas, country houses, village houses and coastal apartments across Axarquía.
Rural properties may need a tailored quote because access, drive time, gates, tracks, water systems, gardens and pools can make each property different.
Most empty homes should be checked at least once per month.
For rural homes, larger properties, older houses, properties with pools or homes left empty for long periods, fortnightly checks are usually better.
After storms, heavy rain or high winds, an extra check can be arranged.
A normal property inspection can include doors, windows, locks, visible leaks, damp, smells, pests, electricity, taps, toilets, post, terrace areas, garden condition, pool condition and visible storm damage.
The exact checklist depends on your property and the package you choose.
Yes. We can send photo updates after inspections.
For normal visits where everything is fine, the update may be short and simple. If there is a problem, we send clearer detail and photos so you can see what is happening.
Yes. We can provide access for approved tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners, gardeners, pool companies, internet installers or furniture deliveries.
If we need to stay on-site while work is carried out, waiting time is charged separately.
Yes. Post and parcel collection can be included or added as an extra service.
If important post arrives, we can notify you. We only open or photograph private documents with your permission.
Yes, by arrangement and subject to availability.
We can attend for urgent issues such as leaks, access problems, alarms, storm damage, lock problems or urgent contractor access.
We are not a police, fire, ambulance, security, plumbing or electrical emergency service. Our role is to attend, assess, provide access and coordinate the right next step.
Yes. We can help with guest key access, check-ins, check-outs, cleaner access and basic arrival or departure checks.
If you need full Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo management, including bookings, pricing, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance and owner statements, we also offer a full holiday rental management service.
Our keyholding starts from €50 per month for basic secure keyholding.
Standard property care starts from €85 per month and includes monthly property checks.
Premium empty-home care starts from €125 per month and includes fortnightly checks.
Final pricing depends on your property location, access, size and the service level needed.
Axarquía is beautiful, but it is not the same as owning a city apartment where everything is nearby and simple.
Many homes here are rural, seasonal, or exposed to heat, wind, dust, storms and long periods without ventilation.
A property in Cómpeta, Torrox campo, Sayalonga, Sedella or Canillas de Albaida may need a different level of local care than an apartment on the coast.
Access also matters.
Some rural homes need someone who understands tracks, gates, water systems, septic tanks, pool teams, local tradespeople and how properties behave when empty for weeks.
That is why our keyholding Axarquía service is local, practical and hands-on.
We are not trying to cover all of Spain.
We focus on Axarquía.
We cover the full Axarquía comarca, from the high Almijara mountains down to the coast, and all the white villages in between.
