An empty home inspection is a scheduled visit to check that a vacant property is secure, dry and generally in good order.
This can be useful for owners who live away, landlords with a vacant rental property, families handling probate, or anyone who needs a trusted person to keep an eye on an unoccupied house.
Many insurance policies for unoccupied properties require regular checks, so keeping a record of visits can be important.
What We Check
After each visit, a brief update can be sent by email or message so you know the property has been checked. We also provide door trimming services in Sunderland for small property maintenance jobs.

Why are empty home inspections important?
Regular inspections help identify issues early, such as leaks, damp, break-ins or general deterioration. They can also help show that the property is being monitored.
Can this help with insurance requirements?

Do you send updates after each visit?
Yes, a simple update can be sent after each inspection so you know the property has been checked.
Do you offer regular ongoing visits?
Yes, regular weekly, fortnightly or agreed inspections can be discussed depending on the property and your needs.
