Clés et accès
Nous gardons vos clés et faisons entrer artisans, livraisons et locataires. Vous savez toujours qui est venu.

Une maison ici a besoin de quelqu’un à proximité quand vous n’y êtes pas. Nous gardons les clés, passons la contrôler, l’entretenons et réglons ce qui se présente.

La plupart des propriétaires pour qui nous travaillons viennent quelques semaines par an. Le reste du temps, la maison demande quand même de l’attention : après une tempête, avant l’arrivée d’un locataire, quand un voisin signale une fuite.
Nous gardons un jeu de clés au bureau de Sant Antoni de Calonge, contrôlons le bien au rythme convenu et prenons en charge les réparations avec notre propre équipe, plutôt que de vous transmettre une liste de numéros.

What a house on this coast needs when you are not in it, and what it costs to keep somebody looking after it.
Voir toutes les questionsWe do, if you would like us to. We hold a set of keys at the office in Sant Antoni de Calonge, walk the house on a rhythm you set, and deal with what we find using our own team rather than sending you a list of numbers to ring from another country.
You are told what was done and what it cost, and anything beyond a small job is quoted and approved before it starts.
Très franchement
Plenty of owners rely on a neighbour, and for a fortnight that is fine. It stops working the day something happens that needs a decision, a tradesman and somebody to be there on a Tuesday. That is usually the phone call we get.
It goes green, and on the wooded plots here it fills with pine needles while it does. A pool left untreated from October does not need cleaning in May, it needs emptying and refilling, and that is a far larger bill than the winter treatment would have been.
Emptying a pool is also not risk free. In the wrong ground conditions an empty pool can lift. It is not a job to do casually.

This is the single most common expensive surprise we see on a second home here, and it is entirely avoidable for the price of a few visits over the winter.
From our office in Sant Antoni de Calonge, most of the houses we look after are within a short drive. Because we hold the keys ourselves and use our own people, a burst pipe on a Tuesday morning is dealt with that morning rather than after a day of arranging.
In an emergency we stop the damage first and reach you afterwards. Turning off the water and making a property secure does not wait for an email reply. Everything beyond making it safe does wait for your decision.
Yes. Two separate things, and owners are regularly surprised by the second one. The first is IBI, the local property tax, billed by the town hall. The second is non-resident income tax: Spain taxes a non-resident owner on an imputed income from a second home even when it earns nothing and stands empty all year.
Both are ordinary, both are manageable, and both need somebody to actually file them. The penalty for not knowing is the same as the penalty for not bothering.
Très franchement
The imputed income tax is the one nobody mentions during a viewing. It is not large for most houses, but it is annual, it is your responsibility to declare rather than something you get billed for, and it accumulates quietly if it is never filed. If you have owned here for years and have never heard of it, that is worth a conversation now rather than later.
