Know the current condition
Let us know about winterization, visible damage, utilities, and any recent visits. If a system is shut off or hasn’t been used, that is useful context for a walkthrough.

A HOME SALE, WITH A HUMAN SIDE
A home can need attention even when no one is there.
An empty house may still mean utilities, upkeep, insurance questions, and trips to check on it. Tell us how long it has been vacant and what you know about its condition.
Arrange access without the extra trips
If you live elsewhere, we can discuss a local contact or other appropriate access arrangements. Don’t share keys or access codes in the public enquiry notes.
Decide what needs to happen to belongings
Vacant does not always mean empty. We’ll ask what remains and what you want to keep, then address any proposed removal responsibilities in writing.
Keep track of the costs while you decide
Even without occupants, a house can continue to generate bills and maintenance tasks. A simple monthly list can help you compare selling now with holding for repairs or a later listing. Ask your insurer about the actual occupancy status and coverage rather than assuming the policy is unaffected.
- Loan payments, property taxes and insurance.
- Utilities, yard care and checks on the building.
- Known leaks, weather damage or security concerns.
- Travel or local help needed to look after the home.
Give us a practical access plan
Tell us who last visited, whether power and water are on and whether there are any known unsafe areas. If a local contact can help, we’ll agree the arrangements with you first. A safe visit may need planning when systems have been shut down.
Keep keys, alarm details and access codes out of the enquiry form. A property description and a way to reach you are enough to start.
GOOD QUESTIONS. STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
A little clarity
before you begin.
Can you consider a home with utilities turned off?+
You can still enquire. We’ll discuss how that affects a safe visit and assessment.
Must I clean everything out first?+
No. Start by telling us what is there and what you want to keep. Any cleanup agreement would need to be specific.
