Key holding on the Costa Blanca: when a key service makes sense
The most common reason for a key service is mundane: nobody is there when someone needs to get into the house. The technician is at the door, the cleaner arrives before the guests, the community needs access to a pipe — and you are 2,000 kilometres away.
When key holding really helps
Key holding is not only worthwhile for rentals. As soon as a house is regularly entered by third parties, one fixed local point of contact is simpler and safer than an informal chain of neighbours and spare keys.
- Tradespeople and maintenance appointments while you are away
- Handover to cleaners or the garden service
- Arrival of family or guests
- Access after an alarm, storm or water damage
- Checks by the owners' community
- Deliveries and installation appointments
What makes a good key service
What matters is not the key but how it is handled: stored without an obvious link to the address, with clear rules on who gets access and when, and a record of when the house was opened and locked again.
With us, every handover stays tied to your approval. You learn who had access and why — with photos of the work carried out if you wish.
Key holding or a full home care service?
Many owners start with key holding alone and later add regular property checks, because they notice that a look inside between appointments is missing. Both can be booked separately and combined at any time.
Prices and packages are on the homepage; they serve as guidance and are matched to your property.
