Your house, looked after all year.
Your house looked after as though you were there. You have one contact, and nobody invoices you for a job we have not checked first.
Your year
A house lives twelve months. Here is what happens to it in the months you are not there.
- January · February
The house is on its own.
Tramontane, rain, damp. We open up, we air it, we write down what we find, we shut it again. After a gale, we come back. You get the photographs from every visit.
- March · April
We reopen.
The pool starts up again, one visit a week until 30 September. The garden picks up. The winter's work is handed over before the season.
- May · June
The due dates, then your arrival.
The modelo 210 and the IBI fall due: we put the file together and we hand it to your gestor. And we get the house ready for the date you give us.
- July · August
You are here.
The house is open, the pool running, the shopping done to your instructions. One number for everything. The rest of the time, we do not disturb you.
- September · October
We close up.
You leave and the house goes back to standing empty: water off, valves closed, laundry gone. The pool drops to two visits a month.
- November · December
The calendar runs on without you.
Insurance, the refuse tax, meter readings. The post is collected, opened and sorted. And someone comes by, at the rhythm agreed with you.
The rhythm of the visits is settled with you, after the survey. It is not published on a page: a house in the pines and a flat in the town centre do not ask for the same thing.
How it begins.
The survey
We visit your house, with you or with your keys. We note the state of it, the ways in, the equipment, and what could go wrong before winter. The survey is free, and it commits you to nothing.
The written proposal
A level, a scope, a price. Nothing is priced without having seen the house.
The contract
Two months' notice, on both sides. No minimum term that locks you in: if we hold your house badly, you must be able to leave.
The keys
Handed over against a receipt, and entered in the numbered register the same day. You know how many keys we have, and which ones.
The first record
The first visit takes place. Its record lands in your account: what was seen, by whom, with the photographs.
We never begin without a signed contract.
Preparing the house before selling it.
A house you no longer see sells badly.
You come for a week or two a year. A shutter no longer closes, the terrace has shifted, the pool has aged. The keys go to an agency that discovers the property on the day of the photo shoot, publishes it as it stands, and leaves the buyer to price everything that was never done. That calculation is always paid for by the seller.
The condition report
We walk the house room by room, with what we already know about it: what has been maintained, what has been postponed year after year, what a buyer will notice in the first thirty seconds. You receive a written report, with nothing softened.
The work that counts
Not everything deserves to be redone before a sale. We separate what changes the way a buyer sees the house from what costs money and changes nothing. Then we brief the trades, we open the door, we follow the site and we report back to you.
The property file
Invoices, warranties, past interventions, pool and heating servicing, plans, community charges: we gather what exists and put it in order. What is documented is argued over less.
Being here
Opening for viewings, meeting a surveyor, turning the water back on before an appointment, locking up behind everyone: all of it needs someone on site. That has been our trade from the first day.
We are not an estate agency.
And we make no attempt to look like one. The sale mandate, the official valuation and the marketing of the property belong to registered estate agents. We work with the ones whose standards we know, we introduce you, we stay beside you through the exchanges. We do not replace them.
Our part lies elsewhere: the house itself. Preparing it, coordinating what has to be done, keeping the file, opening the door, holding the schedule. On the day you sell, you sell a property that somebody has been looking after. It shows.
We have had your keys for months
An agency walks into your house for the first time on the day the mandate is signed. When a house is in our care, we know its recent history: what was repaired, when, and by whom. A question gets an answer, not a guess.
Starting early
A house that has been prepared is shown at its best, not in the state winter left it in. Beginning the work before the property goes on the market changes the first impression, and the first impression is what stays.
You stay at home
You stay at home. We open up, we accompany viewings, we receive the trades, we report back. You decide from a distance, with the full picture.
We do not sell one-off visits: without a management contract, we do not come.
Hand us the key.
What we look after
The whole house.
The house, all year.
The work, followed on site.
The house ready when you arrive.
The paperwork, done while you are away.
Where we work
From Sant Feliu de Guíxols to Begur.
We do not cover the Costa Brava. We know streets, coves and urbanisations, and which plumber comes on a Sunday.
What we never do
- Let an owner discover a problem on their own.
- Invoice an extra charge that was not announced.
- Let someone we do not know into a house.
- Invent a review, a figure or a reference.
