Hi all, ive just signed up, what a great site!

We have a villa in Denia where we holiday a few times a year and love it! 

But as our main residence is in England we always have concerns that everything is ok at the villa when we are not there. 

We also have some family members who also like to holiday at the Villa, but again there is always a worry that something might go wrong when family members are there and have no back up.

What we are looking for is someone who could periodically stop by at our Villa to check all is ok when we have not been there for a while and also some back up if there ever was a problem when our family are on holiday.

If anyone can recommend a very trustworthy handyman or company that can offer this we would like to meet him/her.

We would be greatful for any help

Many thanks.

Nick. (El Montgo)

Hi Nick,

My name is Kim. I am moving to the region of Denia (15 minutes away actually) in one month's time.   I have previous experience house minding and dealing with change over's etc in France and the UK, and I am aiming to develop my business in this area of Spain where I shall live permanently.   I can supply references of course.   I provide a range of service: cleaning, airport pick ups, change overs, welcome packs, pet minding, and in your case house watching, security.  

It is my first time on this forum. I read that one is not permitted to post personal details here.   So we can private message, if you so wish.

Your sincerely,

Kim Marr

Kim just be aware that unless you are registered as "autonomo" (self employed) it is not legal to provide these services. Also be aware that airport pick ups require the relevant business insurance. If you had a claim against you in the event of being uninsured it could be serious. 

Don't shoot the messenger! 

Steve

Hi Nick, 

We also own a property in the Montogo area where we recently moved from Canada. I happen to be a registered self-employed(autonomo) and would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss details. I took early retirement at 58 and, as you can appreciate, I have a lot of spare time at my disposal. I am in perfect physical health, very active and able to take care of our property by myself. So taking care of an additional property would be a pleasure for me.

I am a handy man and since we recently reformed our house I happen to know all the good and trustworthy companies in the area, in case of any emergencies(plumbing, electricity, etc). My services cover property maintenance(including garden and lawn), airport pickups, sitting your pets, etc. 

Should you be interested, you can call me at 652 618 760

Rosco Sirca.

Hi Rosco,

thank you for your response and interest in my previous post, albeit quite a while ago now!

We are still looking for someone to check on our Villa from time to time, we haven't followed up on making any arrangements with anyone due to generally being extremely busy with other things, but it was the storm in Denia last month that was plastered all over the news that brought back our concerns for our Villa and the importance of connecting with someone in the area at time like these. I hear there were huge winds and saw the devastation of the poor old Fernando Restaurante and the Sport Centre. 

I am flying out to Denia on Friday morning for a couple of days to check everything is ok with our Villa, (and a quiet beer or two without the kids)...

As its been a while i would like to ask if you are still interested in checking on things from time to time as well as any other potential maintenance as mentioned in my last post, and if so if you would like to meet up sometime for a chat, although i do appreciate this weekends visit would be really short notice.. 

Many thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick, 

Good to hear back from you. 

Indeed, the last storm did quite a bit of damage in the area and so did the strong wind last week. 

Friday morning I'm going in for a root canal so technically speaking I should be out of commission for the day. However Saturday I am available to meet for introductions and a pint anytime after 11 AM. Should you prefer to keep our messages private, please feel free to reply to my personal email address at [email protected]

I also use WhatsApp (652 618 760). 

Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday (or Sunday). 

Cheers. 

Rosco.
