Owning an investment property or a second home can be a fantastic asset, but when properties are left unattended, they can quickly become a target for unwanted occupation and vandalism. Vacant homes that lack proper management often attract individuals looking for shelter. Unfortunately, this can lead to significant damage, leaving owners with costly repairs and legal complications.
The Risks of an Unmanaged Property
When property owners are away for extended periods—whether on holiday, living in another state, or simply too busy to manage their investment—vacant properties can suffer from neglect. This neglect can manifest in many ways:
- Broken windows and doors – Vacant homes are more likely to be broken into, leading to costly damage.
- Accumulated rubbish – Without regular upkeep, waste can pile up, attracting pests and making the home an eyesore.
- Overgrown gardens – Uncontrolled landscaping can make a property look abandoned, further inviting trespassers.
- Illegal occupation – Squatters often take advantage of empty homes, leading to legal battles and additional stress for property owners.
