Home Watch PLUS

Another service we offer is Home Watch PLUS. This is short-term property management for
clients who are away from their homes for extended periods but don’t necessarily want to rent them out. Our reliable and capable home checks give property owners peace of mind. We travel to the property once a week, at different times, to look after your property, plus, we can schedule and manage repairs and upgrades in your absence, communicating back in the way that works for each client.
