FAQ
Questions owners abroad usually ask
How often will you visit my property?
+
That depends on the plan you choose. A Homeport Property Check is a single visit; our care plans include two visits per month (Basic) or four visits per month (Premium). We can also agree on a custom frequency based on how long your home stays empty.
What exactly do you check during a visit?
+
Each visit is a visual verification of the property: general interior condition, signs of humidity, taps and visible leaks, doors and windows, and accessible exterior areas such as balconies or terraces. You receive photos, videos and a clear list of priorities.
Do you carry out repairs yourselves?
+
No. Homeport Living is not a maintenance or cleaning company. When something needs attention, we coordinate trusted local suppliers, collect quotes and follow the work on your behalf — you always approve costs before anything goes ahead.
What happens if you find a problem during a visit?
+
We contact you with photos and a description, explain the options and, if you wish, coordinate the solution with local suppliers. Urgent issues are flagged immediately so they don't become expensive surprises.
Can you prepare the house before I arrive or before guests?
+
Yes. Home Preparation covers getting the property ready before and after your stays or guest arrivals — airing the home, checking essentials and making sure everything is in order for arrival day.
Which areas do you cover?
+
Our initial coverage area is the Lisbon metropolitan area, Portugal. If your property is outside the Lisbon metropolitan area, get in touch and we'll tell you whether we can help.
How do I get started?
+
Request a Homeport Property Check through the contact form or WhatsApp. After the first visit and report, we propose an ongoing care plan matched to how often your home is empty — with no obligation.
