Where we work

Based in Estepona, thirty minutes either way.

Close enough that a storm-day check or a locked-out guest is never more than half an hour off.

Owners' questions

The things people ask before they sign.

Who actually has my keys?

Two people: the owner of Pinar and one named inspector. Keys are tagged with a code, not your address, and kept in a safe at our Estepona office. We never hand keys to a tradesperson unsupervised.

What happens if something goes wrong between visits?

Neighbours, the community administrator and your alarm company all have our number. We attend within 24 hours, usually the same day, and you get a call before we do anything that costs money.

Do I need a tourist licence to let my property?

Yes. Andalucía requires a VUT registration for holiday lets, and the rules on community-of-owners approval tightened in 2024. We handle the application, the registration of guests with the police, and keep the paperwork current.

Are you insured?

Public liability and professional indemnity, certificates available on request. Every tradesperson we send is insured in their own right.

Can I cancel?

Yes, with a month's notice, any time. We'll hand back keys, documents and the tenant or guest relationship cleanly.
