Risks involved in property vacancy
Material damageLeaks, frozen systems and other technical problems can cause a lot of damage. But think too of the material and financial consequences of arson, vandalism and burglary. And don’t forget that squatters may occupy vacant properties.
Non-material damage
In short, vacancy can lead to a deterioration of your building, extra costs, delays in selling, letting or demolishing it, and much unnecessary work and nuisance. What’s more, in a residential district vacancy may cause a feeling of insecurity among existing tenants.
