Home Security
The safety and security of residents and visitors to Gramacho is the primary goal of every manager and owners' representative.
Security expenditure represents the single largest item on the Gramacho Owners' Annual Budget and accounts for close on 50% of total expenditure. Gramacho is by any measure a safe place to live and visit.
Every home is fitted with stand alone alarm systems. There is an intruder alarm monitored by the security company (presently DELTA FORCE); a fire/smoke alarm system monitored by Pestana owners’ desk, (out of hours by the Security central, at the main gate,) and in some properties a “Panic” alarm system, in bathrooms. The latter is also monitored as the fire/smoke alarm system above.
Alarm activation will trigger a fast response and visit from the security staff, even if the property is empty.
If the property is unattended they will gain access using a spare key. Having determined the cause of the alarm activation the security personnel will write a short report and leave a copy for the returning owner, and ensure the property is safe, before leaving.
