Mador
Castle Services is a property services and management Company
that offers individual tailor-made packages to suit owners
of homes on the Costa Blanca, Spain.
Director
Matthew Rudge explains,” M.C.S. has been a registered
S.L. (Limited) company for over 6 years now, initially starting
off as an in-house services company for one of Moraira’s
most established villa rental agencies. It was this time
last year that we acquired an office of our own in Teulada
and entered into the public domain, now supplying services
to three villa rental companies and many individual and
private owners, plus cleaning services for a bank, offices,
shops and the local petrol station.
When people buy a home in Spain it usually represents the
second biggest investment that people make and it never
ceases to amaze me that, after a short time of being here,
owners are handing over the keys to their property to neighbors
or somebody they have just met at a friend’s BBQ!
At MCS, we pride ourselves on being a registered business
with a reputation for caring about your property and understanding
your needs - and above all, giving a professional service
with the ability to offer an individual services package
to suit all”
Matthew details some of the more popular and most common
of the services that they offer.
“One of our most basic services is the control and
administration of the property’s keys in accordance
with the owners instructions. Then there are the owners
that use the property solely for themselves with occasional
occupancy so require periodic security and ventilation checks
- in these cases we always follow up the inspection with
a telephone call or e.mail to the owners informing them
of the visits and any relevant matters arising. These owners
would normally require the villas prepared and cleaned for
their arrival, with the laundry collected and returned after
their stay.
However, the majority of our owners do tend to rent their
properties themselves from back in Britain and require a
variety of relevant services to ensure that their clients
have a pleasant and carefree holiday. These services may
include our ‘meet and greet’ service, where
we would meet the clients at our office - conveniently situated
on the main Avenida in Teulada as they come off the motorway
- and then escort them to the villa, settle them in and
point out any relevant information. Then there is the main
part of our business, which is the cleaning and preparation
of the villas in readiness for the clients’ arrival.
Some owners prefer their own linen to be used, whilst others
opt to use our linen – we have high quality bed linen,
towels and duvet sets. As people will appreciate, one of
the major factors for clients when arriving at their holiday
home is for it to be spotlessly clean and well presented.
M.C.S. takes great pride in it’s history and reputation
with regard to the very high standard of cleaning. In order
that those standards are maintained, we have a housekeeper
who periodically checks the cleaning and general readiness
of the property for the incoming clients. Also, when we
take on a new property, we think it is important and reassuring
for the lady of the house to be able to meet our housekeeper
and together discuss any particular requirements with regard
to the villa’s housekeeping.
Other services that owners renting themselves may call upon
are those of equipment hire, such as beds, folding beds,
cots, high chairs & fans - we can also supply food or
welcome packs to be left in the villa ready for the client’s
arrival.
We
also offer full emergency and maintenance services. It is
a sad fact of life that all properties need maintenance
and occasionally need urgent attention - the technicians
we use have all been with us for several years and are honest,
reliable and above all, react on our behalf very quickly,
hence blocked loos, burst water tanks, electrical problems,
etc., are dealt with both quickly and efficiently. All owners’
clients are given a mobile telephone number should there
be an emergency outside of our office hours. In addition
to these client services, should our owners wish, we can
recommend conscientious and reliable contractors for pools,
gardens, painting, heating/air conditioning and even construction
work - once again, these people have registered businesses
and have proven their reliability and high standards over
many years of working with us and in the area”.
