HOME CARE · ALGARVE
Your home in the Algarve.
Cared for, even when you are away.
A trusted local team, six scheduled property checks a year and a clear report after every visit. We keep an eye on your second home while you are elsewhere.
Home Care also welcomes owners who only use their property themselves. You do not need to rent it through Nancy & the Algarve.

A REGULAR VISIT. A CLEAR OVERVIEW.
What do we check during a visit?
We follow an agreed checklist, looking for visible problems, changes and anything that needs your attention.
Leaks and damp
We look for visible leaks, damp patches and unusual moisture, including around basins and water appliances.
Water and sanitary fittings
As agreed, we briefly run taps, flush toilets and check sanitary fittings for visible problems.
Power and basic appliances
We look for visible signs of power failure and check the agreed basic appliance functions.
Airing, indoor conditions and air-conditioning filters
We air the home, check for unusual smells and damp, and visually inspect accessible air-conditioning filters for dirt. We tell you when cleaning is needed.
Garden, terrace and outdoor areas
We check plants and gardens for visible drying and overdue maintenance, and report anything needing attention. We also look for storm damage and other changes. For villas with a pool, an agreed visual pool check can be included.
Post and deliveries
We collect available post, leave it in the agreed place and highlight anything requiring your attention.
Leaving securely
Before leaving, we check windows and doors are closed, taps are off and the property is secured as agreed.
Our checks are visual and practical. Gardening, air-conditioning filter cleaning, pool maintenance, cleaning, repairs, technical inspections and extra visits are agreed separately.
PERSONAL FEEDBACK
You know what we find and what is needed.
We agree what to check, how to access the property and how you wish to receive updates. We schedule six checks a year: one every two months.
During each scheduled visit, we complete the checklist and photograph the property and any issues.
After each check, you receive a clear report with the checklist, photos and findings. If we find a problem, we explain it and agree any extra work with you first.
AN OVERVIEW FOR OWNERS
Six checks. Six clear property reports.
After each property check, you receive a report with the completed checklist, photos and any issues: six reports a year. When Home Care starts, we set up your personal owner area to keep reports and follow-up together.

GOOD TO KNOW
Home Care, tailored to your property.
Do I have to rent out my property?
No. Home Care also serves owners who use their home for holidays, family visits or longer stays.
Which properties and areas do you cover?
We welcome enquiries for apartments and villas in Albufeira and the surrounding area. Before starting, we confirm availability and suitable support for your address.
Can you arrange additional help?
Yes, such as an extra visit, preparing the home for your arrival or giving a tradesperson access. We agree the work and costs beforehand.
Is pool maintenance included?
An agreed visual pool check can form part of a villa visit. Water treatment, technical checks and ongoing pool maintenance are separate services.

Help with one phone call
When my roller shutter became blocked, I could call N&A straight away. They arranged help immediately. I was very glad I could call them to take care of it for me.
