Vacant Property Inspections
Documented periodic inspections that satisfy insurers on empty buildings.
Overview
Service overview & scope
An unoccupied building is a different risk profile altogether — and most insurance policies impose strict inspection clauses the moment a property becomes vacant. We carry out scheduled internal and external inspections, log everything, and flag issues before they become claims.
What's included
Scope of work
- Scheduled internal and external inspections
- Photographic evidence per visit, timestamped and geotagged
- Checks on doors, windows, roof, drainage and services
- Squatter, vandalism and weather damage flagging
- Insurer-ready inspection report
- Optional water-down and meter readings
Why it matters
Why this matters
Insurance compliance
Most unoccupied-property policies require documented inspections at a stated frequency — miss them and cover lapses.
Early detection
Most claim-triggering damage starts small — escape of water, slow break-ins, blocked drains. Inspections catch them early.
Defensible evidence
Timestamped, geotagged reports stand up to insurer and loss-adjuster scrutiny.
