Vacant Property Inspections
What is it?
Insurance companies are making vacant property inspections (VPI’s) a requirement to ensure the integrity of the building and to comply with the terms of the policy.
Vacant properties can be seen as an easy target for vandals, thieves, arsonists, squatters or even children. Some insurance companies make these inspections a requirement of cover and will discount premiums if an approved security company is contracted to deliver them.
