Before you leave a coastal home for the season
Walk through the house with the person who has agreed to look after it. Which service calls can they handle? Who should they call for a leak, a lift fault or a power issue? Write down the arrangements and make sure each person has agreed to their part.
Ask your insurer and service providers about their requirements while the home is vacant. Keep the relevant instructions, service contacts and property records in one private place. Share access codes securely with the people who need them. Before leaving, check that everyone knows how to reach you and who can make a decision if you’re away from your phone.
