You can protect a vacant property by ensuring you do the following:
- Leave your key with someone you trust, so the property can be accessed for maintenance and emergencies.
- Arrange regular inspections to ensure you are compliant with your insurance.
- Make arrangements for your mail to be collected or redirected, as a build-up of post could make your house a target.
- Hire a regular cleaner to prevent an accumulation of dust and dirt that might otherwise be hard to remove.
A vacant property service will take care of all these elements and more, without the expense of hiring a full-time housekeeper.
