Security, trust, and personalized attention
Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol constitute one of Europe’s most dynamic and resilient real estate markets, with sustained demand from foreign buyers, high liquidity and a strong luxury segment. A significant part of this stock consists of vacant or underused properties: repossessed units held by financial institutions and servicers, assets owned by international funds, and second homes of non-resident foreigners who are absent for long periods of the year.
This combination of high-value but often empty housing stock, together with Spain’s well-known issues with property squatting and deterioration of unattended units, creates a clear operational and financial risk for institutional owners in Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís and surrounding coastal municipalities. These risks translate into loss of asset value, higher legal and refurbishment costs, delays in disposal of REO portfolios and reputational concerns.
Milex offers a specialised housesitting and asset-preservation service designed specifically for this context. Our value proposition is to keep institutional and foreign-owned residential assets in Marbella and the Costa del Sol occupied, controlled and preserved, reducing the probability and impact of squatting, vandalism and physical deterioration, while maintaining or improving the property’s marketability.
The service is delivered through vetted, Spain‑based caretakers and inspectors, under a strict legal and operational framework that avoids any appearance of residential tenancy. We provide scheduled presence in the property, basic upkeep (ventilation, mail handling, visual checks for damage or leaks), attendance at community meetings where required, and structured incident reporting, all documented through periodic digital reports for the asset manager.
Our business model is B2B & B2C, based on monthly recurring fees per asset, with scalable pricing for portfolios. Contracts are structured as framework service agreements with annexes by property or pool, allowing rapid onboarding of new units as portfolios evolve. This approach provides banks, servicers, funds and foreign investment vehicles with a predictable, budgetable operating cost in exchange for a reduction of downside risk and preservation of sale value in one of Spain’s most competitive and visible markets.
Milex is initially focused on Marbella and the Costa del Sol, where foreign ownership is especially high, prices per square metre sit well above national averages, and reputational sensitivity to issues such as squatting or visible neglect is particularly acute.
