Home Watch — Punta del Este
Home Watch in Punta del Este
Most Punta del Este residences stand closed from April to November. That is when the Atlantic does its work: salt air on metal and glass, humidity in closets and wine rooms, winter storms that test roofs, shutters and drainage, and an empty house that becomes visible to the wrong people. Valmore Home Watch puts a trained inspector inside the residence on a fixed schedule, checks every system against a written checklist, and sends the family a photo-verified report after each visit — so January starts with a house that is ready, not a list of surprises.
Valmore provides Home Watch in Punta del Este: scheduled, photo-verified inspections of vacant and seasonal residences while the family is away, with a written report after every visit and escalation to a named partner. It is inspection of an empty home, not day-to-day administration of an occupied one.
What is included
- Scheduled interior and exterior inspections on a fixed calendar
- Photo-verified report after every visit, delivered to the client portal
- Humidity, mould and ventilation checks — closets, cellars, textiles and art
- Roof, shutters, drainage and glazing checks after Atlantic storms
- Water, electrical, generator, pool and irrigation system checks
- Security walk-through, alarm verification and key control
- Pre-arrival preparation before the family lands for the season
- Escalation to a named partner and vetted local vendors when something is found

Report actions
How we deliver in Punta del Este
Step 1
Baseline walk-through
A documented first visit that photographs every room and system, so later reports compare against a known condition.
Step 2
Scheduled inspections
Visits on the agreed calendar, plus storm checks, each closed with a photo-verified report in the client portal.
Step 3
Season hand-over
Pre-arrival preparation before the family lands, and a closing inspection when the season ends.
Why an empty coastal house needs a schedule
Problems in a closed residence rarely announce themselves. A failed dehumidifier, a blocked drain after a storm, a shutter left loose or a pool pump that stopped in July are small when found in week one and expensive when found in December. A fixed inspection schedule turns months of silence into a written record the family can read from anywhere.
Request a private consultationFrequently asked
How often do you inspect?
The visit frequency is agreed in writing for each residence — weekly is the usual standard for a closed coastal home, with extra visits after major storms.
Is Home Watch the same as estate management?
No. Home Watch is scheduled inspection of a vacant or seasonal residence. Estate management is full administration of a residence in use — staff, vendors, budget and works. They are two separate services; many families use Home Watch while the house is closed and estate management while it is open.
What does a report look like?
Each report lists every area inspected, its condition, photographs of anything that needs attention and the recommended action, and is delivered to the family's private portal. You can review a full sample report on this page.
What does it cost?
Home Watch is priced by the size of the residence and the visit frequency, and quoted in writing before service begins.
