# Vacant Property Check

> A vacant property check monitors a property you already know is empty — between tenants, mid-renovation, or mid-sale — for signs of forced entry, damage, or neglect. This isn't a separate product in Qprop's catalog: a local field agent completes it by ordering the Property Walkthrough's Quick Exterior Check plan for a routine security-and-condition pass, or a Custom Task when you need something specific checked.

There's no "vacant property check" button in the order flow. You'll book this as a Quick Exterior Check (Property Walkthrough) or a Custom Task, and a field agent checks the exterior — and interior on plans that include it — for visible signs of forced entry, damage, water intrusion, or general neglect, then documents what they find.

- Exterior walk-around checking doors, windows, and visible entry points
- Photos of the property as found
- Notes on anything that looks out of place

## What the agent does

- Walks the exterior (and interior, on applicable plans) of the property
- Checks visible entry points for signs of forced entry or damage
- Photographs the property's current state
- Notes anything unusual for your review

## What you receive

- Photos and written notes on the property's current state
- A dated record you can compare against future checks

## Who needs it

- **Owners of properties between tenants:** Confirm a vacant unit remains secure while it's off the market or being turned over.
- **Investors holding a property mid-renovation or mid-sale:** Keep an eye on a vacant asset without a personal site visit.
- **Out-of-state owners:** Periodic checks on a property that sits empty for extended periods.

## FAQ

### Is vacant property check a separate Qprop service?

No. Qprop doesn't sell a "vacant property check" as its own product. It's completed through the Property Walkthrough's Quick Exterior Check plan, or as a Custom Task for a specific request — you're ordering an existing plan, not a distinct offering.

### How is this different from an occupancy check?

An occupancy check answers whether a property currently appears lived-in — a one-time status question, often before an offer or after a tenant goes quiet. This page assumes you already know the property is vacant and want it monitored for security and condition over time.

### What does the agent actually check?

A standard exterior visit covers visible doors, windows, and the general exterior condition. Add a Custom Task if you need a specific item checked, like a particular entry point or the lockbox.

### How often should I check a vacant property?

This varies by owner and situation — some order a single check, others schedule recurring visits during an extended vacancy.
