We look after your second home in La Selva de Mar.
Regular visits, a full protocol inspection and a report with dated photos after each one. From €69/month, no lock-in.
What we watch for here in particular
A stone village inland, full of restored houses with thick walls and services renewed in stages. Damp rises through the wall when a house is never aired, and none of that is visible from the street.
What fails first in La Selva de Mar
Your house is yours, but the surroundings belong to everyone. These are the features of La Selva de Mar that shape every visit.
Tramuntana wind
The north wind dismantles awnings, shutters and aerials. We check the fixings and stow everything before each serious episode.
Old town
Terraced houses, narrow streets and small roofs. A leak travels through two homes before anyone sees it.
Old services
Consumer unit, downpipes and roof with decades behind them. In a house opened twice a year, that kind of fault takes months to show.
Empty all winter
Months with the house shut and the blinds down. Dry traps, damp and stale air are the guaranteed result if nobody goes in to air it.
What we do on every visit
The same points, always in the same order.
It isn't «a walk round the house». It's a fixed protocol repeated identically every time, so that anything that has changed since the last visit stands out.

The north gutter is blocked with leaves, and humidity in the small bedroom is up four points since the last visit. I'd clear the gutter before the October rains. I've asked for a quote and will send it tomorrow.

Questions from owners in La Selva de Mar
- How much does it cost to look after a house in La Selva de Mar?
- The same as anywhere else we reach: from €69/month for one visit, €119 for two and €199 for four, with no lock-in. The only thing that changes the price is your house — size, pool, garden — not the town. The exact figure appears before you pay, not after.
- How often do you come out in La Selva de Mar?
- As often as you contract: one, two or four visits a month. After a storm, heavy rain or a serious weather warning we come anyway, and that is not charged separately.
- How do I know you have actually been?
- Because you can see it. Every visit leaves a report with date, time, the checklist of what was inspected and photos of the real state of the property. It is in your client area within 24 hours, and if something turns up that shouldn't, we call you the same day.
Nobody has looked at your house for weeks.
That's fixable today, and it costs less than the excess on a water claim.
