Services

Everything your home or second property quietly needs.

Pick what you need, leave the rest. Most clients combine a regular walk-round with the occasional overnight stay and a fortnightly drive to keep the car battery healthy. Bespoke arrangements are welcome.

Property walk-round

A walk round the inside and outside of your property to check windows and doors are secured, and that everything is as it should be. Visits weekly, fortnightly or monthly — your call.

  • Internal & external check
  • Windows and doors secured
  • Photo report after every visit
  • Quiet, respectful presence

Mail collection

Removal of mail from behind your door so the hall stays clear and your property doesn't look obviously unoccupied to passers-by.

  • Mail gathered & set aside
  • Stacked neatly indoors
  • Flagged if anything looks urgent
  • No build-up at the door

Overnight stays

Should you wish your property to be occupied by only myself while you're away, I can stay over so the house genuinely looks lived in — lights on in the evening, curtains opened in the morning.

  • Only myself in the property
  • Lights, curtains, kettle on
  • Quiet and respectful — no guests
  • Reasonable nightly rate

Cat sitting

Drop-in visits for feeding times, fresh water and cleaning the litter tray. I'm happy to spend time with your cat if they enjoy company, and longer visits can be arranged to suit your routine. If you prefer, I can stay in your property so your cat remains in familiar surroundings with no need for boarding.

  • Feeding & fresh water at each visit
  • Litter tray cleaned
  • Quality time with your cat on request
  • Longer visits or overnight stays available

Garage bookings on your behalf

I can arrange for your vehicle to be taken to a local garage for its MOT and service, or for a simple levels and tyre pressure check if you've been away for a period of time and need it in good working order. Around 4 weeks notice is usually required for local garages to facilitate a booking.

Pricing

This is a personal property management service — every property is different, so I prefer to quote after a quick chat and a look at what you need. Other property management services are available by request, with full quotes provided. Honest, local pricing — no subscriptions, no hidden extras.
