How Often Should an Empty Phuket Property Be Inspected?

Frequency depends on exposure, equipment, insurance and season, but inspections should be more frequent during heavy rain, after storms, after contractor visits and when alarms occur. The checklist should cover water, power, air conditioning, mould, pests, roof leaks, pool, garden, security and neighbours. Confirm the insurer’s unoccupancy conditions.

Build redundancy: more than one contact, clear emergency authority, local cash reserves, secure document copies and alternative access. Insurance and legal requirements should reflect that the property may be unoccupied or rented.

Confirm current property-specific details through documents, inspection and appropriate independent professionals before committing money.
