Key Custody and Access Control
Leaving keys with a neighbour or relative can become awkward and hard to track. Our key custody and access control service holds your vacant property's keys securely and lets people in only when you have authorised it.
- Available across Chennai
- Can be arranged remotely
About this service
For an unoccupied property, knowing exactly who has entered and when is an important part of keeping it secure and protected. We keep your keys in secure custody, labelled and recorded, and maintain a log of every time the property is opened, whether for our own inspections, a repair, a meter reading, or a visit by a prospective tenant or buyer.
Access is granted only on your instruction. When a vendor, family member or broker needs to enter, we confirm the visit with you, accompany them where agreed, and lock up afterwards. Where a property has a smart lock or a keypad, we can work with your preferred arrangement and share access logs where the system allows. If locks are changed or duplicate keys are made, we record this and keep you updated. This hands-on service complements the broader key and access management offered under property management for tenanted properties.

Frequently asked questions
Will you give my keys to anyone who asks?
No. Access is given only on your authorisation, and every entry is logged.
How is this different from Key and Access Management under property management?
That service supports key handling across the wider management of a property, including tenancies. This service focuses specifically on custody and controlled entry for vacant properties.
What if I want my keys back?
We will arrange a documented handover to you or a person you nominate, after confirming your instructions.
