Why it matters

An empty property is a vulnerable property.

Small problems grow fast when nobody is home. A dripping pipe becomes a flooded floor, an open gate invites squatters, and a pile of post tells everyone the house is empty.

Most insurers also attach unoccupancy conditions once a property has been empty for a set period, often 30 to 60 days. Those conditions usually require regular inspections, and you may need records to prove they happened. We take care of the checks and the paperwork so your cover stays valid and you don't have to worry about the property.

FAQs

Common questions

How often should an empty property be inspected?

It depends on your insurer. Many policies require weekly or fortnightly inspections once a property has been unoccupied for a set period. Send us your policy wording and we'll match our visits to it.

What will I receive after each visit?

A dated report with photos covering the exterior, each room, utilities and anything that needs attention. We contact you straight away if we find anything urgent.

Can you look after a property during probate?

Yes. We regularly support executors and families, keeping the home secure and insured, managing post and arranging access for valuers, agents and clearance.

Do you handle repairs?

We carry out minor fixes and can arrange trusted local tradespeople for larger jobs. We always get your approval before any chargeable work.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the property's size and location, how often we visit and which services you need. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
