Scheduled visits to your property at regular intervals will make sure that everything is working efficiently. We check for the usual signs of wear and tear that may lead to greater expense or inconvenient disruption in the future.

Inclement weather checks

It is not uncommon for our clients to keep an eye on the weather in the valley in hope of spotting a window of opportunity for an impromptu visit. Naturally this may lead to some concern if the conditions are particularly extreme, so we are here to let you know that everything is under control.
Emergency response management
Having a secured property is crucial. We can be on-call for security calls from your house alarms to help coordinate security visits or emergency service response. We find this is an essential backup for owners who are often in a different country and therefore not able to respond in person.
Punctual property checks
Regular property checks are essential, both from a practical and insurance perspective. Most insurance policies stipulate that properties must not remain unoccupied for extended periods of time. We will ensure regular visits are made to your property, checking all is in order and providing you with complete peace of mind.
