Costa Brava · Alt Empordà
We look after your second home in Roses.
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
Hillside estates — Santa Margarida, Puig Rom, Mas Fumats — with many French owners. Idle pools, retaining walls and water tanks are what matters, and vehicle access to the upper plots gets awkward in heavy rain.
What fails first in Roses
Your house is yours, but the surroundings belong to everyone. These are the features of Roses 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.
Scattered estate
With no permanent neighbour nearby, there is nobody to raise the alarm. The scheduled round is literally the only way anything gets noticed.
Sloping plot
Retaining walls, outside steps and drainage. A crack in a wall is either caught in time or paid for in full.
French owners
Much of the property here is managed from France. We work in French and the report is delivered in the owner's language.
Pool
Level, filtration, cover and winterising. A pool left standing for six months is the most expensive and most avoidable fault a second home has.

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.

- Kept forever in your client area
- Anything wrong is flagged with a photo and a recommendation
- Downloadable as PDF, which is what your insurer will ask for

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 Roses
- How much does it cost to look after a house in Roses?
- 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 Roses?
- 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.
