Periodic Property Checks in Tuscany
Many Tuscan houses stand empty for months. The owner lives in Milan, London or New York, and the house spends the winter alone at the end of a gravel road. Those are the months when the damage begins that is discovered in May, when it is too late.
- Scheduled periodic visits at an agreed frequency
- Checks for water ingress, damp, roof and window condition
- Plumbing, electrical and heating system verification
- Alarm, locks, gates and general security checks
- A photographic report after every visit
- Extra visits after storms, frost or weather warnings
What we do and how often
Tripcare carries out periodic property checks on a cadence written into the proposal, not left to chance: the table lists each activity and when it happens. Items at an agreed frequency are fixed at the on-site visit, according to the house and the area's season, and appear in the monthly statement.
| Activity | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Scheduled visit with photo report | Agreed frequency; at least monthly out of season |
| Plumbing, electrics, heating | At every visit |
| Leaks, roof, windows and doors | At every visit; after bad weather |
| Alarm, locks, gates | At every visit |
| Check after frost or weather alerts | Within 24 hours of the event |
A water leak found after three months is not the same leak found after three days. Periodic checks do not prevent faults: they prevent faults from becoming renovations.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the house checked?
The frequency is agreed with the owner: typically monthly or fortnightly during closed months, with extra visits in case of frost, severe storms or weather warnings.
Is the service available for properties that are not let?
Yes, and that is in fact the most common case. Many owners who do not let at all use periodic checks as their only service, simply to know the house is being watched.
What does the owner receive after each visit?
A report with photographs and notes on what was checked, plus an immediate alert if something needs attention, with a proposed solution before any work goes ahead.
