Homes and ownership patterns in Salema
Apartments near the village and elevated villas face different access, drainage and exterior responsibilities, particularly where pools or terraced gardens are present.
Seasonal use can leave homes quiet through unsettled winter periods, when remote owners benefit from dated photographs and clear issue priority.
Why local oversight matters here
Atlantic exposure, salt, wind-driven rain, exterior drainage and the practical distance from an owner abroad can make early reporting valuable.
A regular visit helps establish what is normal for the property, makes changes easier to notice and gives an overseas owner a dated visual record.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you hand over the keys.
If your property or arrangements are unusual, talk to us. The service is designed around the home.
Is Guardemar a property management company?+
Yes — for second homes you use yourself. We look after the house while you are away: scheduled inspections, key holding, a written photo report after every visit, and coordination of the pool, garden or cleaning companies you already use. Holiday lets are a different business, and we leave them to rental managers.
What is a home watch visit?+
It is the scheduled inspection at the heart of every plan: a walk-through of the property, photographs and a written status of good, attention or urgent for each area.
How often should my property be checked?+
It depends on the home, the season and how long it stands empty. Monthly, twice-monthly and weekly plans are available, and we recommend a frequency after seeing the property.
What happens if you find a leak?+
We photograph it, tell you straight away, take the reasonable first steps you have agreed to limit the damage and, with your approval, bring in a qualified plumber.
Can you arrange a plumber or electrician?+
Yes. We coordinate licensed, qualified tradespeople — or the ones you already trust — and send you their quote before any work starts. The technical work itself is always done by them.
Can you let contractors into my property?+
Yes, with your prior authorisation. We open up, record who attended and can check and photograph the property afterwards.
