HouseWatchers.es is not a locksmith service. We attend with the spare keys previously left with us by the owner. We do not force doors or manipulate locks. If the lock is broken or the key does not work, a locksmith will be required and that cost is charged separately.

Repairs and renovations: we can coordinate those too.

We can find providers, compare quotes and coordinate the work. Our management fee is quoted according to scope; the repair or renovation itself is paid separately according to the provider quote you approve. If you want us to attend the property during the work, supervision visits are charged separately at €70 per visit.
