Talk Quesada forum

Hi, does anyone know of a key holding / pickup / drop off service. We are in the UK and the opposite end of the country to friends/family wanting to use our apartment. I don't want to post keys out. Is there somewhere local in Quesada which could hold keys? I was considering a combination key lock box which I could hide somewhere out of sight, but the apartment is on a gated community so would need a key for the outside gate in the first instance.

Thanks for any advice.

Ring Judith at Quesada Housesitters on +34 633 595 508. They are registered key holders so your house insurance won't be jeopardised. They have very cheap prices compared to most other key holders/property management companies. This is now our second year of using them.

How much do key holders charge ?

When I first employed Judith she charged €20 per month that the property isn't occupied, nothing for any months it is occupied. I don't think it's changed.

I paid 60 euros to SGM Abogados for a year to hold a spare set of keys - and a couple of times have had people pick up the keys from them when I wanted stuff done in the house. Indeed one year when I was worried I might have a leak ( looking online at a rather large waterbill) they even sent the junior lawyer up to my house to check it out and never charged me a cent for that... Also wanted a spare set held locally in case I locked myself out/lost my keys etc. They take identity etc of anyone collecting the keys. The main drawback is obviously this is only during normal Spanish office hours so fine as a basic safeguard but not for holiday arrivals etc when people might be coming late at night/out of hours etc - in that situation Judith from Quesada House sitters would definitely be your best bet. Judith has done major house cleans for me in the past and is very good....

I pay Judith 20€ per month whether the property is occupied or not and nothing has been mentioned otherwise

Maybe things have changed since I first engaged her services 3 years ago. My apartment is occupied more or less every month of the year as I live here for 5 months in the winter and it is rented out from May to October. Check with her.

Just wondering, would people still recommend Judith?

At 60€ a year SGM sounds like a bargain. I'll probably use them to hold a spare set of my keys now. Thanks Shiva

Yes,use Judith for key Holding & cleaning, very
good
