Define Property Preservation

Property preservation protects a vacant property from falling into disrepair as it awaits new occupants. Preservation includes keeping the interior and exterior of the property from becoming safety hazards.
  1. Management

    • Property management companies are often responsible for property preservation. Investors or sellers hire the company to review the overall condition of the structure and perform a variety of services for the duration of the vacancy.

    Services

    • Property preservation includes lawn maintenance, extermination and debris removal. Services can also include repairs, winterization and securing the property with locks and window boards.

    Value

    • Preservation services help to maintain the value of a house and repair issues that may arise during vacancy, such as acts of vandalism. This keeps the home in good condition so it can be sold.
