Vacant Property Inspections
VACANT PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
The primary drivers behind our vacant property inspection service stem from our client’s needs comply with the terms set by their insurers, and to have a regular point of feedback from the site concerning any issues that may affect the ‘let-ability’ of a property while it is vacant. And to check for any issues that may otherwise go undetected until it is too late.
Our standard inspection criteria includes:
-
General security checks on all access points (doors, windows etc.)
-
Flushing of all water outlets to prevent the formation of Legionella bacteria
-
Observed condition of general building fabric (i.e. damaged floors, ceilings)
-
Evidence of graffiti or vandalism
-
Water leaks/damp
-
Fire/electrical hazards
-
Other issues that may affect the appearance of the property and have a negative impact on the ‘let-ability’
The inspection frequency of vacant properties is dependent on the type of property, known risks, and insurance requirements. The inspection criteria and the method/frequency of reporting can be tailored to meet with your individual requirements.
