What Do We Check During a Void Inspection?
Each visit covers essential risk areas and ensures proactive upkeep. Our inspection includes:
- External doors and window security
- Signs of forced entry or vandalism
- Utilities status (water, gas, electric)
- Lighting and power functionality
- Fire safety equipment and detectors
- Signs of leaks, damp, or storm damage
- Overall cleanliness and hygiene
- Pest activity or infestation indicators
- General condition of fixtures and fittings
- Post collection to reduce occupancy clues
All findings are supported by date-stamped photographs and organized using our visual traffic light system for quick reference.
