Key holding

Secure key holding for Algarve property owners.

Controlled key holding, authorised property access and visit records for second homes across the Western Algarve.

GUARDEMAR

Keys are coded and managed without attaching the complete property address.

Who it is for

A practical service for owners who are away.

For overseas owners who need a dependable local keyholder for scheduled inspections, approved contractors, deliveries or urgent authorised access.

Informal key circulation can make it difficult to know who entered a property and when. A controlled process creates accountability and makes practical local action possible when the owner is abroad.

What this looks like in practice.

A plumber needs access after moisture is found below a sink. Guardemar confirms the owner’s instruction, meets the contractor, records attendance and reports the visible condition afterwards.
