What property management costs on the Costa del Sol

Reviewed 26 October 2026. These are our prices, published. Other companies price differently and you should ask them for theirs.

“Property management” on this coast covers two services that have almost nothing in common except that somebody holds your keys.

They are not alternatives. If your property is empty most of the year and you do not want tenants or guests in it, the first one is the whole answer. If you want it to earn, the second includes the first.

Four things, in roughly this order of weight.

• The size and type of the property. A villa takes longer to check than an apartment, and most of the extra time is outside rather than inside.
• How often somebody goes. Once a month and twice a month are genuinely different services, not the same service at a different frequency. A problem that starts on the 3rd is found on the 30th or on the 15th.
• What there is outside. A private pool, irrigation, a garden and a terrace all add things that fail and things to look at.
• Whether anybody is living in it. An empty property needs more attention than an occupied one, not less, because nobody is there to notice the first sign of anything.

What does not change the monthly fee is how expensive your property was. Looking after a house is work, and the work does not scale with the purchase price.

Three plans, published. Every figure below is per month and plus IVA.

The difference between them, in one line each

The full table of what sits in each plan, line by line, is on our Services page.

This is the part that catches people out with any company, so here it is plainly.

Below the threshold we deal with it and tell you. Where there is an immediate risk to the property or to safety we act at once and tell you straight afterwards.

Then the shape changes. Instead of a monthly fee, our management is a share of what each stay earns, so what we are paid tracks what the property is paid. The percentage, the one-off set-up and the monthly minimum are in your proposal, because they depend on the property and we would rather tell you a number that is true than a number that is average.

Two things that are true whatever the numbers are:

• The housekeeping between guests is a Costa Aurea service at a fixed price for your property, not a cost passed on at the end of the month. We bring our own equipment and products. All we use of yours is water and electricity.
• Every bill is itemised, in two families, our own services and third-party services arranged on your behalf, and the supporting documentation is available on request at any time.

Because the alternative is asking you to book a call to find out whether you can afford us, which wastes your afternoon and ours.

The honest reason most companies quote privately is that it lets them read the property, read the owner, and price accordingly. We would rather publish and be the same price to everybody. If your property turns out to need more than the published plan, we say so before you sign, with the reason, and the figure comes from the survey and not from your postcode.

If you want the full line-by-line table of the three plans, it is on our Services page.

If you want to know what your property would actually cost, tell us where it is and what it has, and we will tell you, before anybody commits to anything.
