PROPERTY MAINTENANCE IN MALLORCA
Key holding, weekly checks and clear reports while you are away
A home in Mallorca needs attention even when you are not on the island. Regular care helps you keep track of the property's condition and arrange maintenance around your visits. This guide explains how key holding, weekly visual checks and separately agreed services fit together through our property management service.
Essential Care: a weekly check while you are away
Essential Care combines key holding with a weekly visual property check, checking the mailbox and collecting post during the visit, and a brief photo report. During the agreed visit, we look for visible signs of leaks, damp, damage or unauthorised access. Your quotation confirms the scope and visit duration.
A visual check is not a technical building survey or a guarantee that every fault will be detected. For a fuller explanation, read our property checks and reporting guide.
Key Holding or Essential Care?
Key Holding provides secure key custody and authorised property access. It does not include scheduled inspections or call-outs. Essential Care includes key holding and the weekly check and report, with no separate annual key-holding fee.
Looking after an unoccupied home in Mallorca
Owners may be concerned about break-ins or squatting while their property is empty. Weekly visits can reveal visible signs of damage or unauthorised access at the time of the visit, and mailbox collection avoids a build-up of post. If something looks wrong, we inform the owner and help coordinate the appropriate next steps within the agreed service.
Weekly visits are not continuous monitoring and cannot guarantee prevention or detection between visits. The service does not include security guarding, alarm monitoring or eviction. It complements, rather than replaces, appropriate security arrangements. For general precautions, see official home security guidance from Spain's Ministry of the Interior.
Seasonal maintenance, planned around your home
Before arrival, you may wish to arrange household cleaning, linen changes, laundry or household supplies. Pool and garden care, repairs and seasonal preparation can be arranged separately according to the property's needs.
Where specialist work is needed, we can help arrange quotations and coordinate the agreed next steps. Supplier availability, scope and costs are confirmed for each request. Regular visual checks can help identify visible issues early, but maintenance costs depend on the property and the work required.
