Property care that keeps you close, even from abroad.
CasaMinder supports owners who need home watch Lisbon services, keyholding Lisbon support, housekeeping Setúbal coordination and practical absent owner property services without full rental management.
Property Check Visits
Clear checks, photos and practical notes after every visit.
We check the things absent owners worry about: doors, windows, signs of leaks or damp, post, utilities, airing and visible condition changes. If something needs attention, you receive a calm update and agreed next steps.
Regular inspections with photos, condition notes and issue reporting.
Keyholding & Access
Secure local access, handled carefully and clearly.
We provide secure keyholding and controlled access for owners, approved family, cleaners and contractors. It is a simple way to avoid last-minute stress when you are away and need someone local to open up, check in or coordinate a visit.
Secure keyholding and controlled access for cleaners, contractors or family.
Housekeeping
Fresh, calm arrival preparation for owners and guests.
We can arrange cleaning, airing, linen changes and pre-arrival preparation so the property feels cared for and ready when you arrive. It is practical support for second homes, holiday homes and occasional-use properties.
Cleaning, airing, linen change and pre-arrival preparation.
Maintenance Coordination
Trusted supplier coordination without the chasing from abroad.
When something needs attention, we help coordinate trusted local suppliers, provide updates and keep you informed from first visit to follow-up. It is practical owner support designed to reduce delays, confusion and avoidable stress.
Trusted local supplier coordination with owner updates before spend is committed.
Mail & Utility Checks
Small checks that catch practical issues early.
We collect agreed post, check visible utility points, note meter readings where arranged and look for basic water or electricity concerns during visits. These details help owners keep an empty home moving without needing a separate trip.
Mail collection, meter readings, water and electricity checks and basic monitoring.
Rental Readiness
Practical readiness support before guests or longer stays.
For owners preparing a property for approved guests, family, short stays or longer rental use, we help with readiness checks, access coordination and issue reporting. It is support for getting the home presentable and functional, not a replacement for legal or licensing advice.
Optional support for owners preparing for short, mid or long-term rental.
