Initial Secure

Securing a property’s primary and secondary entryways is one of the first and most important steps in property preservation.

  • Following appropriate guidelines and requirements, HouseCheck will assess interior and exterior security of the main dwelling and any outbuildings.
  • To prevent theft, vandalism and unauthorized entry, we will replace or re-key main entry locks and ensure that all windows are closed and properly secured.

Lock Change

Locks must be changed on vacant properties so that authorized providers can assess and report their condition to loan servicers and investors.

  • Depending on your instructions or requirements, HouseCheck will replace or re-key your property’s locks and deadbolts.
  • We can also install a lockbox to give other approved parties secure access to the dwelling.
  • After gaining entry, we can, if needed, thoroughly document the interior’s condition with high-quality digital photographs or video.

Winterization

Winterizing a vacant property includes preparing water pipes, water heater and other plumbing system components to effectively resist the costly and damaging effects of freezing temperatures.

  • Properly winterized homes can safely sit empty for months with no utilities turned on.
  • HouseCheck’s comprehensive winterization process is a prudent precaution that helps maintain the safety and value of your unoccupied property.

Regardless of loan type or applicable guidelines, HouseCheck can assess your vacant properties and perform all necessary steps to bring them into conveyance condition.

  • What is the current state of property interiors, exteriors, accessories and outbuildings?
  • What work must be completed to bring the entire property into compliance?
  • Can conveyance condition be achieved as described in the guidelines?
  • Or will an additional estimate be required?
