Owning a holiday home on the Costa Blanca is a dream for many. But if you don’t live in Spain full time, one question arises quickly: Who takes care of my property when I’m away? A professional property management service is the solution – but how do you find the right one? Here’s what to look for:

1. Experience and local expertise

Choose a provider who knows the Costa Blanca well, including the legal framework, weather conditions, and local professionals. Ideally, they should operate in the area where your property is located (e.g., Marina Alta, Marina Baja, or La Safor).

2. Trust and clear communication

Especially for non-residents, a dedicated and reliable point of contact is essential. Ask how communication works – via email, WhatsApp, or a client portal? Regular updates and transparent feedback build confidence.

3. Flexible service packages

Every home is different. Choose a management company that offers modular, flexible services – like cleaning, maintenance, key holding, repairs, gardening, or rental support. You only pay for what you really need.

4. Transparent pricing and clear contracts

Serious providers offer understandable contracts and clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. A free initial consultation is often a good sign.

5. Additional support through local networks

Some situations need more than maintenance – such as renovations, tourist license issues, or communication with lawyers or authorities. A well-connected provider can help with all of that.

Conclusion:
The right property management will protect your investment, provide peace of mind, and ensure legal compliance – even when you’re not in Spain.
