Owning a second home in the Region of Murcia or Costa Blanca is a dream come true for many. However, leaving that property empty for months at a time can quickly turn into a source of anxiety. From severe weather events to the growing concern over squatters, an unattended property is a vulnerable asset.
Many foreign owners rely on a well-meaning neighbor to "keep an eye on things." But when a real crisis hits, relying on a favor is not enough. At SERVINMOSOL.COM, our professional Keyholding and Property Management services provide the local, authoritative presence your property needs.
The Threat of "Okupas" (Squatters)
It is a topic frequently discussed in expat forums, and the Spanish legal system can make it notoriously difficult to evict squatters once they have settled. The crucial window of action is within the first 48 hours.
If your alarm goes off in the middle of the night and you are 2,000 kilometers away, what happens next? As your official keyholders, we are on the ground. We can attend the property, verify the situation, and act as the local liaison with the Guardia Civil or local police immediately, preventing an intrusion from becoming a long-term legal nightmare.
Gota Fría and Storm Damage
The Mediterranean climate is beautiful, but late summer and autumn can bring torrential rains known locally as the "Gota Fría" (DANA). These sudden storms can cause localized flooding, broken windows, or severe roof leaks.
- Post-Storm Checks: We conduct immediate inspections of your property after severe weather warnings.
- Rapid Repairs: If damage has occurred, our in-house maintenance and construction teams can secure the property and begin repairs before mold sets in or further damage occurs.
Preventative Maintenance: Keeping the House "Alive"
Houses are meant to be lived in. When plumbing isn't used for months, seals dry out, causing leaks the moment the water is turned back on. Unventilated rooms gather musty odors and dampness.
Our regular inspection visits go beyond just looking through the window. We flush all toilets, run the taps to prevent bad smells from the drains, air out the property, and check the electrical panel for any tripped breakers that might have shut off your fridge or alarm system.
