The heavy winter rains of past years exposed weaknesses in many properties, which if not discovered early enough can cause serious damage.

Costa del Sol Group Rentals provide a service which can save considerable expense in the longer term because regular weekly inspections discover problems before damage occurs. For example, it is a well know fact that ground floor apartments often suffer from leaking terraces, the responsibility of the owner above.

Discovery during a Spring visit, is often too late to stop serious damage to the property and contents which are frequently not insured. Time is then spent by owners refurbishing rather than enjoying their stay in the property.
