Why Vacant Property Inspection Has Gained Momentum?

Shergroup

3 years ago

Vacant property inspections have become a prerequisite for both residential and commercial units. When a property is left vacant, it is frequently required by law to be inspected regularly in order to meet the terms of insurance policies. If a property has been vacant for more than 28 days, insurance companies frequently impose restrictions on its coverage.

What is a Void Property Inspection?

A vacant or void property inspection (VPI) is conducted on an empty property for safety, compliance, and building integrity, ensuring a premise can safely reopen if needed. VPIs also help to reduce the danger of mishaps, the possibility of future costly repairs, and the health and safety of those who are within or around the building during the closure.

Why VPIs are needed?

Vacant Property Inspections are frequently performed to ensure that the facility maintains its integrity and safety. These unoccupied properties are growing more exposed to crime as graffiti artists, vandals, thieves, arsonists, squatters, and even youngsters regard them as an easy targets. Insurance companies are increasingly requiring void property inspections in order to comply with the terms and conditions of their policies and protect the integrity of the buildings and contents, as well as the health and safety of employees and the general public.

Inspecting vacant properties on your own can eat up a lot of time and resources in your company, time and effort that could be better used elsewhere. But you’re legally obliged to do so. Why not rely on trained security experts instead?
