Practical property advice
Keeping a vacant UK property ready to let
Empty homes may need periodic inspections, insurance compliance, security, heating or water precautions and essential repairs. An agent can help coordinate approved work and plan the next letting.
Practical steps to consider
- Step 1
Check vacant-property insurance conditions and inspection frequency.
- Step 2
Secure keys and ensure essential services can be accessed.
- Step 3
Decide whether repair work or redecoration is needed before marketing.
