Our services

Key holding

We keep a set of keys to your house at our office in Sant Antoni de Calonge, so someone nearby can open the house when it is needed.

Key holding
What it covers

Your keys in safe hands

When you live abroad, the question is always the same: who can get into the house if something happens? A key under a flowerpot or with a neighbour is not a real solution, because nobody knows where it is when it is needed.

We keep your keys at our office. They are labelled with a code rather than your address, and we record every time they leave the office and come back.

With your keys at our office, we can let in a plumber or a delivery, welcome your guests, and go and look if the alarm company or a neighbour contacts us.

What's included

What key holding includes

Secure storage

Your keys are kept at our office in Sant Antoni de Calonge, labelled with a code, never with your address.

A record of every use

Every time your keys leave the office, we note who took them, when and why.

Access for trades

We let in plumbers, electricians, technicians and deliveries, and lock up afterwards.

Welcoming guests

We meet your guests or family, hand over the keys and make sure they can get in.

When something happens

If the alarm company or a neighbour contacts us, we go and look, make the house safe and call you with what we found.

Combined with inspections

Key holding is often combined with regular inspections of the house, as part of our property management.

How it works

How we start

  1. Get in touch

    Tell us where the house is and what you need, by phone, e-mail or WhatsApp.

  2. Hand over the keys

    You bring a complete set of keys to the office. We register it under a code.

  3. Agree who may enter

    You tell us who may receive the keys or be let in, and how you want to be informed.

  4. Your contact nearby

    From then on, you can call or message us whenever someone needs to get into the house.

Good to know

Alarm
If the house has an alarm, register us with the alarm company as a contact person. They can then call us directly.
A complete set
Leave us a complete, labelled set: front door, gate, garage and any padlocks, and the remote controls if the gate or garage door is electric.
Insurance
Some home insurance policies set conditions for houses that are empty for long periods. Check your policy. Regular inspections can be part of our property management.

Questions about key holding

Is it safe to leave my keys with you?
Your keys are kept at the office, labelled with a code rather than your address, and every time they are used is recorded.
Can you let in someone I have arranged myself?
Yes. Tell us who is coming and when, and we will let them in and lock up afterwards.
What happens in an emergency?
We go to the house, make it safe and call you with what we found and what is needed to fix it. Where necessary, we stop the damage first and inform you straight away.
Can I get my keys back?
Of course. You can collect them at the office, or we hand them to someone you name.
Do you also check the house?
Key holding is about access. Regular inspections are part of our property management, and the two are easy to combine.
In which area do you hold keys?
Mainly around our office: Calonge, Sant Antoni de Calonge, Platja d'Aro, Castell d'Aro, S'Agaró and Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Is your house somewhere else? Just ask us.
