The house closed nine months: what to look at, and with what proof
An October leak is found in June. You do not need electronic surveillance: you need someone to open the door and look, and a record of it.
It is yours.

What you get
- Scheduled visits with dated photos of every room, the fuse box and the facade.
- Water and electricity meter readings, so a leak shows before the bill does.
- Your post collected, opened and scanned, with a same-day alert if anything has a deadline.
- An immediate alert with photos if something is not as it should be, before it becomes building work.
- Coordination of a plumber or an electrician, and opening the house for them if needed.
Why this matters now
On this coast, keyholding with one or two visits a month currently costs between 250 € and 375 € a year. The difference between one formula and another is not the price: it is the time that passes between two looks. A house closed for nine months with a visit every two months has been alone for sixty days at most; with nobody, it has been alone for two hundred and seventy.
What this service is NOT
We are not a security company and we do not watch anything continuously: no alarm, no cameras, no night patrol. Nor are we an insurer: if there is damage, your policy pays, and what we provide are the dated photos that get it paid. Repairs are done by a tradesman, who invoices you directly.
Questions about this service
What exactly is checked on each visit?
Always the same things in the same order, so that two visits can be compared: the door and lock, the letterbox, the water meter (if it has moved with the house empty, there is a leak), the fuse box, every room with ceiling and walls checked for stains or mould, under the sink and behind the toilet, the water heater, the fridge, the shutters, the terrace and its drains, the pool and garden if there are any, and the outside of the facade. All with dated photos, in a report you receive the same day.
Is there anything between those two?
Yes: 290 € a year, one visit a month with photos, meters, post and an anomaly alert. It is the one almost everybody chooses, because a month is still the window in which a leak is a bucket and not a renovation.
And a one-off visit, without a subscription?
49 € a visit, 59 € with a full photo report. Opening the house for a tradesman is 59 € and handing over keys 39 €. If you later take a subscription, we deduct the first visit.
Do you hold the keys yourselves?
Yes, with your written authorisation, identified by a code and never by your address. And we tell you in writing who has access to them. If you prefer a key safe on the door, we work that way too.
