Property Maintenance in San Juan de Alicante

Finding someone you can trust to manage your property in San Juan de Alicante while you are back in the UK is the single biggest hurdle you will face as an owner. I have seen the horror stories on expat forums about "friends" who lose keys or handymen who overcharge for sub-par work. Since I moved to the Costa Blanca in 2018 and began managing properties, I have learnt that "good enough" is never actually enough when your investment is at stake. San Juan de Alicante is a unique market with a population of 25,000 and a high concentration of British and French owners who need more than just a gardener. Whether you own a modern apartment near San Juan Beach or a sprawling villa in the Golf area, your property requires a level of oversight that prevents small leaks from becoming five-figure repair bills. The 10% international community here deserves professional standards, not amateur promises.

Trust starts with transparency about what you will actually pay for professional oversight. I do not hide behind "bespoke quotes" or vague estimates. For holiday rental management, you should expect to pay between 15% and 25% of the rental income, depending on the volume of bookings and the level of hands-on care required. If you prefer the stability of long-term tenancies, our management fee typically ranges from 8% to 12% of the monthly rent. For those who do not rent their property out but want peace of mind, our keyholding service is priced between EUR 150 and EUR 300 per year. This includes monthly inspections and being the first point of contact for your alarm company. Dedicated maintenance coordination—where we source, vet, and supervise tradesmen—is typically billed at EUR 50 to EUR 200 per month. It is important to be clear that these fees cover the coordination and professional reporting; they do not include the cost of materials or the specialist labour of a licensed electrician or plumber. We do not take kickbacks from tradespeople, which means you get the best price they offer, every time.

The property market in San Juan de Alicante offers a different dynamic compared to neighbouring Alicante city or El Campello. With average property values around EUR 280,000, your asset sits in a high-demand bracket for both summer tourists and long-term professionals. In the height of summer, a well-maintained villa near Cabo de las Huertas can command between EUR 800 and EUR 1,800 per week. However, achieving those figures requires a property that is in pristine condition. The upcoming 2026 Valencia tourist licence regulations mean that compliance and maintenance are no longer optional extras; they are legal necessities. We keep your property ahead of these regulatory shifts so you never face a surprise fine. Because San Juan de Alicante is a year-round town rather than a seasonal resort, we maintain high occupancy rates even in the "off-season" by targeting the long-term professional market, where rents currently sit between EUR 600 and EUR 1,200 per month.

I know that trusting someone with your keys and your bank details feels risky. I have managed over 150 properties across the Costa Blanca, and my business is built entirely on the fact that I treat your home as if I owned it myself. We provide transparent, digital reporting after every visit, so you see exactly what we see, through high-resolution photos and detailed logs. Our bilingual team removes the language barrier that often leads to "lost in translation" maintenance errors. We are fully insured and operate with total fiscal transparency. There are no hidden fees or "administration surcharges" tacked onto your invoices at the end of the month. If you want to stop worrying about your Spanish home and start treating it like the high-performing asset it should be, let’s talk.
