Price - if they are cheap, why are they cheap? If they are expensive will you be able to rent out your property and pay them plus all your other costs such as electricity, gas, community charges etc and still make a profit. You don't want to be paying guests to stay at you property. Make sure you get a quote including what they charge to clean your property, do the laundry, meet and greet, call outs, change gas, any extras such as pool clean etc. Think about what you need doing to manage your property and list them all out and ask for a price for each item so you get no unpleasant surprises.
Services - what services do they provide? Do they offer meet and greet? Can they sort out problems such as plumbing or electricity problems? Do they provide a laundry service?
References - does the company have references for its work? Anyone can go out to the Costa de la Luz and set up a company but you want to make sure they have been in the area for a while and offer a good service. Ask other owners on our forum who they use.
