What Should Happen before an Owner Leaves Phuket for Several Months?

Service air conditioning, clear drains, check roofs and pumps, reduce water-leak risk, secure valuables, update insurance, test sensors, arrange pest and garden care, photograph condition and confirm emergency contacts. Decide whether refrigerators, water heaters and other circuits remain powered. The manager should know who may approve urgent spending and how the owner can be reached.

Choose a manager through references, written scope and transparent fees. Keep owner accounts, passwords and records under the owner’s control, and arrange an independent inspection from time to time. Remote convenience should not remove financial oversight.

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