Private Home Care

Looked after, not just looked at.

Scheduled inspections, photographic reports, preventative maintenance coordination and ongoing oversight while you are away.

What’s included

For homes left empty for weeks or months at a time. Every plan is built around the property, not a generic checklist.

  • Scheduled inspections

    Visits on the days agreed, each recorded room by room with dated, time-stamped photographs.

  • Visible condition checks

    We look for leaks, damp indicators, pests and obvious damage, inside and out, and note anything that has changed since the last visit.

  • Security and access checks

    Alarm, gates, locks and lighting tested within the scope you set, and anything unusual reported straight away.

  • Garden, pool and maintenance coordination

    Your gardener, pool service and regular suppliers kept on schedule, and their work checked on your behalf.

  • Keyholding and contractor access

    Keys held under a documented control procedure. Contractors let in and seen out, parcels collected.

  • Monthly reports and maintenance planning

    A clear monthly summary and a forward plan, so small jobs are dealt with before they become large ones.

How inspections work

From the first walk-through to the follow-up, each step is written down, so you always know what happens next.

  1. Step 1: A first walk-through

    We meet you on site or by video call, walk the property together and record its condition, systems, contacts and access arrangements in a secure property file.

  2. Step 2: Your care plan, agreed in writing

    Visit frequency, the checklist for your home, spending limits and who to call in an emergency are set out before the first visit.

  3. Step 3: Scheduled visits

    Each visit follows your property’s own checklist: exterior, interior, systems, garden and security. Visits are grouped by suburb so they happen reliably on the day.

  4. Step 4: Your report

    Dated photographs, observations and a clear status for every area, sent on a predictable schedule. Anything urgent is escalated immediately.

  5. Step 5: Follow-up, with your approval

    Where something needs attention you’ll receive a recommendation and, if needed, quotes from vetted contractors. Nothing above your agreed limit goes ahead without your say-so.

The Coastal Home Protection Plan

A documented annual schedule for the things salt, wind and winter rain wear down first: corrosion, seals, drainage, gutters, damp and storm readiness.
