Vacant Property Inspections

Our Vacant Property Inspection service provides landlords and letting agents with a professional, independent record of their property while it is unoccupied. When a property is left vacant, issues such as leaks, damp and mould, pest activity, damage, vandalism or signs of unauthorised access can go unnoticed and potentially worsen over time. Regular inspections provide an important opportunity to identify and report visible concerns at an early stage. During each visit, we carry out a non-invasive visual inspection of the readily accessible internal and external areas of the property. This can include the general condition of the property, apparent security of accessible doors and windows, visible leaks or water damage, damp and mould, pest activity, gardens and boundaries, signs of damage or unauthorised access, and meter readings where safely accessible. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed digital report supported by time and date-stamped photographic evidence, providing a clear evidence trail that the property has been visited and documenting its readily visible condition at the time of attendance. For ongoing inspections, we can also compare the property against the previous visit and highlight any apparent changes or deterioration. If we identify something that appears to require urgent attention, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable rather than relying solely on the completed report. Visits can be arranged at intervals to suit your requirements, whether weekly, fortnightly, monthly or on an ad-hoc basis. If inspections are required as part of an insurance policy, clients should check their individual policy and provide us with any specific inspection requirements before booking. Our Vacant Property Inspections are observational and non-invasive and are not building surveys, security assessments, risk assessments or specialist inspections. We do not diagnose defects or guarantee that a property is free from hidden or developing issues; instead, we provide an independent photographic record of what was readily visible at the property at the specific date and time of our visit.
