Property Inspections in Ibiza
Regular visual checks and clear updates for your Ibiza property while you are away. We inspect agreed areas of your home, document relevant findings and help coordinate the next step if something requires attention.
Who checks your Ibiza home when you are not there?
Many Ibiza properties remain unoccupied for several weeks or months each year.
During that time, things can change. A small leak may appear. Humidity may develop. A storm may affect an exterior area. A shutter may stop working. A pool or garden issue may become visible. An appliance or air-conditioning unit may show signs of a problem.
When nobody is regularly at the property, these issues can remain unnoticed. Property inspections provide owners with a local set of eyes while they are away.
Hoy Hoy Ibiza can visit the property according to the agreed arrangement, check the agreed areas and report relevant findings to the owner. If something requires attention, our Maintenance Coordination service can help coordinate the appropriate next step.
What a Property Inspection is not
A Hoy Hoy Ibiza Property Inspection is not a professional structural or technical survey. We do not replace architects, engineers, surveyors, electricians, plumbers, pool technicians, air-conditioning specialists or other regulated or specialist professionals.
If a visual inspection identifies something that requires technical diagnosis, we can help coordinate the appropriate professional through our Maintenance Coordination service. For larger works or improvements involving several professionals, our Project Coordination service may be more appropriate.
What we can check at an unoccupied property
The exact inspection depends on the home. A modern apartment has different requirements from a large villa with gardens, a swimming pool and multiple installations. An agreed inspection checklist can therefore be created around the individual property. Areas that may be checked include:
-
Interior condition
A general visual check can help identify obvious changes inside the property.
This may include visible signs of water, humidity, damage, unusual deterioration, problems around doors or windows and other visible changes.
-
Water and humidity
Water-related issues can become more serious if they remain unnoticed.
Where visible, we can look for signs such as water leakage, damp areas, moisture, unusual staining and humidity-related changes.
A visual observation does not determine the technical cause. Where diagnosis is required, the appropriate professional should investigate.
-
Doors, windows and shutters
Where included in the agreed inspection, visible condition or basic operation can be checked.
Any repair or specialist adjustment can then be coordinated separately where required.
-
Pool and garden areas
For villas with exterior areas, the general visible condition of the pool and garden can form part of the agreed inspection.
This does not replace the specialist maintenance carried out by pool technicians or garden professionals.
-
Property installations
Where agreed and appropriate, observations can also be made around installations such as air-conditioning or other property systems.
This is a visual property-management check only.
Technical testing and diagnosis remain with the relevant professional.
What happens if we identify a problem?
Finding a problem is only the first step. We document the relevant observation and inform the owner. Where necessary, the appropriate professional can be coordinated through our Maintenance Coordination service, and if authorised access is required this can be arranged through Key Holding where included in the agreement of the owner. For larger works involving several professionals or more extensive planning, Project Coordination may be appropriate.

Property inspections as part of Holiday Home Management
Property inspections are especially useful when they form part of a wider management arrangement. A property is inspected while the owner is abroad. An issue is identified. The owner receives an update. Maintenance Coordination is used to arrange the appropriate professional. Key Holding allows authorised access.
If work creates dust or disruption, Villa Cleaning Services can be coordinated before the return of the owner, and other practical preparations can be handled through Owner Assistance. These services can work together within a broader Holiday Home Management arrangement.
Knowing the property over time
A useful inspection is not only about looking for something obviously wrong. Regular visits can also help build familiarity with the property. When the same home is seen over time, changes may become easier to notice. A mark that was not previously there. A new sign of humidity. A change in an exterior area. Something around the pool or garden that looks different from the previous visit.
This continuity is one of the reasons why property inspections work well as part of ongoing property management. The goal is not to make technical conclusions. It is to know the home well enough to recognise when something deserves attention.
A Personal Note from Varinia
A good inspection is about noticing what has changed
"When I check a home, I do not only look for something that is obviously broken. I think it is just as important to know what is normal for that particular property.
When you see the same home regularly, you start to notice small changes. Maybe there is a new mark, an area feels more humid than before or something outside simply looks different from the previous visit. That does not always mean there is a serious problem, but it tells us that something may deserve attention.
For me, a good inspection is about observing carefully, documenting what we see and keeping the owner informed. When you are in another country, you should not have to wonder what is happening at your home in Ibiza."
