Property Voids Management & Inspection

Managing Vacant Property

The primary problem is managing the unoccupied property. Vacant premises attract trouble when nobody is on premises to keep close tabs on property conditions. Landlords s can take the following steps to manage their vacant property.

• You can limit damage by inspecting buildings on a regular basis and repairing any damage immediately, such as broken windows.
• Seal the letterbox to prevent unauthorised intrusions.
• Pipes can freeze and burst during winters, so drain any water systems and switch off unused services.
• Maintaining the yard and exterior landscaping will help prevent attracting squatters.
• Keeping your insurance company informed of the property’s status is of critical importance.
• Removing all valuables from the premises limits potential thefts.
• If you have a security system, then activating it will add a layer of property proetction.
• Some insurance companies will only agree to insure vacant property contingent upon regular inspection by a responsible adult.
