We moved to Spain buying an apartment on Arenal Golf, Benalmadena Costa del Sol. We started a propertry management company offering all the usually services. Meeting clients on Arenal and discussing our services, we felt duty bound to point out the lack of security on many blocks on many phases. We point out that entry to the garages is easy, once in, access to the apartments is there for all. Adding to this, few apartments are occupied. Proof is, that dispite portal doors shut (if they lock properly) these can easily be opened. The amount of junk mail found in the apartments indicates the ease of entry We have become vigilant in our own block, but cannot challange everybody.
We have now added our 'empty care' service, to our list of services, visiting their properties on a regulary basis during vacant periods. We report our findings to them via e-mail. They have pointed out the obvious advantage for them is that we are 'resident' in their neighbourhood
