Why this exists

Empty homes don't stay safe on their own.

A property in Greece left unattended for weeks develops problems quietly. Slow leaks under the sink. Rising humidity in winter. Blocked balcony drains before the September storms. Most are cheap to catch early and expensive to discover during your next visit.

Some home-insurance policies restrict particular cover after a property has been unoccupied for a defined period. The period and conditions vary by insurer and policy. Documented visits can support your records but do not guarantee cover or claim acceptance.

We're the trusted local presence that catches issues early, creates a documented visit history, and quietly handles the practical administration so your home is ready when you return.

Founder-led care, across all of Greece.

Every property is overseen personally. No subcontractor chains. No "someone from the office" surprises. The kind of trust that lets you hand over a key — in a single person you can phone.

  • Documented visits for insurance
  • Real local presence on the ground
  • Issues spotted early and quietly
  • Founder-led, not founder-listed
  • Photo report after every visit
  • Civil-liability insured

How it works

Four steps. Nothing complicated.

Onboarding takes 30 minutes. After that, we just show up.

1. Set up your plan

A 30-minute call about your property, your travel pattern, and what to check first.

2. We show up

On schedule, by the same person every time, with the same comprehensive checklist.

3. You get a photo report

Within 24 hours of every visit — timestamped, honest, on WhatsApp or email.

4. We handle problems

With your written approval — we coordinate separately quoted repairs, contractors and administration within the scope you approve.

What we do

Eight service lines. One trusted operator.

Scheduled home checks come as part of every plan. The rest are member add-ons you call in only when you need them — quoted before we lift a finger.

Regular Home Checks

Scheduled visits to your property in Greece, the same checklist every time, with a timestamped photo report within 24 hours.

Maintenance & Oversight

Which kind of property support do you need?

Vacant or owner-used home: start with regular home checks. Recurring bills or building matters: add separately quoted property administration. Actively rented property: read our home watch vs property management comparison before choosing a provider.

Who we work with

Built for owners who can't always be there.

Three groups of people own most of the empty homes in Greece. We were built for them.

Greeks Abroad — your family's home in Greece, looked after by someone who gets why it matters.

You grew up in Melbourne, Toronto, Sydney, Chicago, Montreal or London. The apartment your parents or grandparents built is still in the family. You visit when you can. We're the trusted local presence in between.

  • An ageing relative who shouldn't be climbing stairs to check on it
  • A kind neighbour who can't actually fix anything
  • Or no one at all — and you hope for the best

International Owners — you bought a place in Greece. Now you need somebody on the ground.

Your holiday apartment or retirement villa sits empty most of the year. Between visits, it's exposed to humidity, plumbing risk, and Greek bureaucracy you weren't expecting.

  • No local you trust enough for property oversight
  • Greek-language utilities, bills, building meetings
  • English-speaking team handling all of it for you

Real Estate Investors — your Greek property is part of a portfolio. Audit it like one.

You hold one or several units across Greece — short-let, long-let, or held for appreciation. Vacancy gaps, slipping cleaning standards, the slow decay nobody flags — all of it eats your asset value quietly. You need independent eyes that report to you, not to the property manager.

  • Damage between tenancies that nobody flags
  • Vacancy clauses that quietly invalidate your cover
  • Independent oversight working only for the owner
Independent owner-side audits
⚠️ Worth knowing

Do you know what your policy says about an unoccupied home?

Greek policies typically restrict cover once a property has been unattended for 30+ days. Without documented visits, claims get reduced or refused. Documentation isn't a nice-to-have — it's the thing that lets your policy do its job.
