Vacant property inspections

Structured inspections for vacant Algarve homes.

Scheduled visual inspections and photo reports for vacant villas, apartments and second homes in the Western Algarve.

GUARDEMAR

A repeatable, non-invasive condition check while nobody is living in the property.

Who it is for

A practical service for owners who are away.

For owners leaving a home empty for several weeks or months, including between seasonal visits, during a sale, after completion or whilst maintenance is being organised.

An occupied home produces everyday warning signs. In a vacant property, a slow leak, failed irrigation zone, damp patch or damaged shutter may remain unnoticed until the next trip.

What this looks like in practice.
