Services
5 questionsWhat services does HC Intendance offer?
Five service families for your properties in La Réunion: concierge and key holding, cleaning and housekeeping, visits and condition reports, property checks and reports, maintenance and coordination. They suit main homes, second homes and holiday rentals alike.
Can I book a one-off service?
Yes. Every request is considered, whether it’s a single job or regular follow-up.
Do you offer tailored services?
Yes. We start from what you actually need and agree a clear scope together before any work begins.
Do you work with local tradespeople and service providers?
We can coordinate tradespeople for you: access, presence, follow-up and a check after their visit. The decisions remain yours.
What’s the difference between your services for private clients and for professionals?
The services are the same; the organisation is different. Professionals benefit from an organisation suited to larger volumes and recurring jobs.
Service areas
4 questionsWhich towns do you cover?
At launch, we cover Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, L’Hermitage, Saint-Paul, La Saline-les-Bains, Saint-Leu, Boucan Canot, Saint-Pierre and L’Étang-Salé.
Do you cover other parts of the island?
Not on a regular basis yet. If your property is elsewhere, describe your request: we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Do you charge for travel?
Any travel conditions are set out in the quote, before any work begins.
Do you offer the same services in every area?
Yes, all five service families are available in every area we cover.
Keys and access
4 questionsCan I leave my keys with you?
Yes. Keys are labelled, held confidentially and only handed to the people you have authorised.
How do I get my keys to you?
In person or via a secure key safe. The arrangements are agreed before the first job.
Do you manage key safes and door codes?
Yes, following your instructions, with a record of the access granted.
Do you make copies of keys?
Never without your explicit consent.
Property owners
4 questionsCan you help if I live in mainland France or abroad?
Yes. It’s one of the most common situations: we act on site according to your instructions and keep you informed.
Do you manage holiday rentals?
We take care of the on-site operations: guest welcome, key handover, cleaning, preparation and checks. Marketing the property is not included.
Can you keep an eye on a second home?
Yes, with inspection visits at the agreed frequency and a report after every visit.
What happens if there’s a problem at my property?
We let you know with photos and agree the next steps together: a repair, a tradesperson or simply keeping watch.
Professionals
4 questionsDo you work with estate agencies?
Yes, as well as with property managers, landlords, businesses and residence managers.
Can you take on recurring jobs?
Yes. We set up an organisation suited to your volumes and your procedures.
Can you use our own documents?
Yes, we can work with your own condition report or report templates.
Do you offer volume terms?
Terms are considered according to the type and frequency of the jobs. Tell us about your needs.
Requests and scheduling
4 questionsHow does a first request work?
You describe what you need using the quote form. We get back to you to clarify the scope, then send you a proposal.
How quickly do you reply?
We usually get back to you within 24 to 48 business hours. At busy times, it may take a little longer.
Do you work at weekends?
Depending on availability and with arrangements agreed in advance, especially for guest arrivals and departures.
Can I send photos with my request?
Yes, you can send us photos during our first conversation if they help.
Prices and quotes
4 questionsHow are your prices worked out?
According to the service, the property, the area and the frequency. The price is always agreed with you before any work.
Is the quote free?
Yes, requesting a quote is free and without obligation.
Does requesting a quote commit me to anything?
No. You are only committed once you have accepted the proposal.
Could there be unexpected costs?
The scope is defined in advance. If an extra need comes up on site, we check with you before doing anything.
Reports
3 questionsDo you send photos?
Yes, when it is part of the job: the photos are attached to the report.
What does a report include?
The date, the service carried out, the points checked, observations and the agreed photos.
How will I receive it?
By email or message, whichever suits you best.
What we don’t do
3 questionsWhich services do you not provide?
We do not carry out major works, regulated technical surveys or official bailiff’s reports (commissaire de justice). We can, however, coordinate the professionals concerned.
Do you market holiday rentals?
No. We handle the on-site operations, not letting the property or managing listings.
Are you an estate agency?
No. HC Intendance is a concierge and property services company.
