Five Ways We Look After Your Property

Whether you're travelling, own an Airbnb, or split your time between Malta and abroad, our security add-on services are built around one goal: giving you a trustworthy local presence at your property.

Key-Holding

We securely store a spare set of keys and coordinate access for cleaners, contractors, guests or emergency callouts — so you're never stuck relying on one set of keys.

Scheduled Property Checks

Regular walk-throughs of empty or vacant properties — checking for leaks, storm damage, unwanted visitors, or anything out of place — with photo updates sent after every visit.

Alarm Response Coordination

If your alarm is triggered while you're away, we liaise with your alarm provider and, where necessary, attend the property or coordinate with the authorities on your behalf.

Guest & Contractor Access

Managing Airbnb check-ins, letting in cleaners or tradespeople, and making sure the right people — and only the right people — get access to your property.

Move-In / Move-Out Walkthroughs

A documented security walkthrough before a new tenant moves in or after they leave — checking locks, windows, meters and appliances are all in order.

Combine With Cleaning

Since we're already cleaning or maintaining many of the properties we check, security visits are easy to bundle in — one trusted local team for everything.

FAQ

Common Questions

What does Sparkly Malta's security service actually include?

Our security service covers key-holding, scheduled walk-through checks of empty or vacant properties, alarm response coordination, and managing access for guests, cleaners and contractors. We do not provide manned or armed guarding.

Is Sparkly Malta a licensed security guard company?

No. Physical guarding in Malta requires a Private Guard Licence issued by the Commissioner of Police under the Private Guards Regulations. Sparkly Malta is not a licensed guarding agency — we provide key-holding, property inspection and alarm-coordination support. If you need manned or armed guards, we can point you to a licensed Private Guard Agency.

How often are property checks carried out?

Check frequency is agreed with each client — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly is most common for vacant properties, with more frequent checks available for high-value homes or during extended absences.

What happens if something is wrong during a check?

You're notified immediately by phone or WhatsApp with photos of what we found. Depending on the issue, we can coordinate a plumber, electrician or other tradesperson through our maintenance team, or advise you to contact the police or your alarm company directly.

Can you manage keys and access for Airbnb guests?

Yes. We hold keys securely and coordinate access for guest check-ins and check-outs, as well as for cleaners and maintenance staff between bookings, so hosts don't need to be on-site.

Is this service available across all of Malta and Gozo?

Yes, we cover properties across Malta and Gozo, including Sliema, St Julian's, Valletta, Mosta, Birkirkara and surrounding areas.

How much does key-holding and property checking cost in Malta?

Pricing depends on check frequency, property size and whether it's combined with our cleaning or maintenance services. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your property.

Can I combine security checks with cleaning or maintenance visits?

Yes — many clients combine a property check with a cleaning or maintenance visit, since our team is already on-site. This is a popular option for second-home owners and Airbnb hosts.
