For those who, do not live in their property in Portugal full-time, our advice is to appoint a property management company to look after the villa or apartment.

We have a sister company called Black Cove – Silver Coast Property Services Ltd., that will take care of all or some of the following on behalf of the owners:

• Payment of bills on time (electricity, water, telephone, rates, etc);
• Regular visits to the property to air it and to keep it clean;
• Undertaking any necessary minor maintenance work (plumbing, electricity, etc);
• Taking care of the garden;
• Regular cleaning of the swimming pool;
• Preparing the house for arrivals (fresh flowers, food in the refrigerator, etc);
• Advising on any repair works;
• Renting out your villa.
