Why Marbella homes get this: Multi-property absentee owners in the Golden Mile and Nueva Andalucía sustain a strong handyman market built around pre-arrival snags, post-departure inspections, and ongoing minor maintenance. Russian- and English-speaking handymen are particularly sought after, and many operate on retainer arrangements with property managers. Salt-air corrosion drives constant minor metalwork, fixing, and re-sealing work on exterior fittings.
