Caretaker Service

Most second homes owners do not live locally and are dependent upon finding a reliable local to keep an eye on the property whilst they are away. The Caretaker is often also the person responsible for cleaning the property on changeover day. The quality of the job done by the caretaker is probably the single most important factor when it comes to creating a good first impression. Your guests will be arriving, probably after a long and tiring journey to find their holiday property. They will want to find a warm welcome.

It is important that you and your caretaker have a very clear understanding about what is required of him/her, and an agreement that covers his duties, and the standard to which the work will be done.

Caretaker Chores Checklist

Through experience and feedback we have compiled a checklist that should be second nature for the caretaker. We also recommend that landlords elicit feedback from their guests after every visit.

If you would like a copy of our checklists please use the form below to request the documents you would like.

Recruitment and Administration

It can be a real chore to recruit a caretaker, especially given the distances usually seperating the second home from the landlord. We offer landlords three options

• Advertise for a Caretaker
• Follow up Caretaker references
• Interview applicants
• Contracts of employment drafted

• Liase with Caretaker to ensure the property is always cared for
• Payroll service

• Full agency service where the Caretaker is our employee
• Gardening Services
  

Our team of local employees will present your property to the highest standard, and make sure your guests have an excellent holiday.
