How to protect real estate in your absence

How many times during a week's vacation do you think of your iron, which you probably didn't turn off, the door that naturally didn't close, and the neighbors who, of course, could drown you? In the realities of martial law, all these fears became even more tangible because many people were forced to leave their native homes not for a few days, but for several months. Protect yourself from unnecessary worries and try to enjoy life as much as possible. We suggest that you get all your fears out of the far box and find simple ways to overcome them.

Deliberate damage at the hands of ill-wishers

Premeditated damage at the hands of ill-wishers

🚨 Problem: Unattended real estate is a hot spot for burglars and vandals. If the apartment is unlikely to suffer from damage, then an empty house behind a high fence can easily turn into a temporary home for uninvited guests. Things are much worse with theft because experienced "experts" in this field manage to remain unnoticed, even if there are neighbors behind the wall. Their technology keeps up with general progress, so even an impregnable lock may not meet your expectations.

✅ Solution:

  1. The easiest solution will be to install an alarm system. 24-hour video surveillance systems, security staff and concierge service are already “built-in options” in many of the capital residential complex, but additional security measures will not be superfluous. Your peace of mind is worth the money spent. Yes, the complex "Saksagansky” can boast of paramilitary security, which no suspicious person will pass by.
  2. Controlling the state of the apartment and monitoring the processes taking place in it in your absence will be useful not only for long trips, but also for caring for the sick, supervising pensioners and children. All these processes can be carried out with the help of video surveillance cameras. You can watch the video in real time from a device convenient for you.
  3. To control who enters and exits the door of your abode, there are motion sensors that are also connected to the devices and immediately signal the appearance of activity.
  4. The pass system has long gone beyond hotels. Electronic locks with access control will not allow outsiders to enter without your knowledge.

💡 Smart technologies are actively used in furnishing modern houses and apartments for both safety and comfort. In case of long blackouts, many of the presented systems switch to battery power, but residents of many residential complexes are unlikely to need such a function because their houses already have powerful generators, thanks to which life will continue to take its course.

Beware, scammers!

Beware scammers

🚨 Problem: In this case, it is not so much your real estate that will suffer, as its reputation. If he really wants to, a fraudster can forge documents in such a way that a mosquito won't squint his nose. More precisely, a tenant who was seduced by low prices and the absence of a commission. Of course, the realtor cannot be fooled by such tricks, but the target audience is exactly people who want to save money on professional help and consultations. The miser pays twice, the cunning one profits, and you remain in the dark – not the most pleasant arrangement.

The destructive power of the four elements

🚨 Problem: Fire, water, and copper pipes can pretend to be designers and, getting out of control, destroy expensive repairs. Such changes in the interior can occur both because of the neighbors' fault and because of your forgetfulness and banal inattention. Also, no one canceled natural phenomena. They cannot exert a strong influence on the apartment, but private house and < a href="https://thecapital.com.ua/prodazha-zemelnyh-uchastkov/">land are in greater danger. High winds and hail will leave marks on the roof and make changes to the landscaping.

✅ Solution:

  1. The fire alarm will react quickly to the slightest smoke, and the rescuers will rush to help even faster.
  2. The anti-flood system is actively used during the arrangement of modern apartments. Apartments in the residential complex "Zarichny” is a vivid example of that
  3. An insurance policy compensates for losses, but does not protect against them. It is important to consider the format of the insurance: it covers only damage caused to real estate; applies to furniture and appliances; includes potential damage to neighbors.
  4. Relatives and friends can call for help and monitor the condition of your apartment. When choosing a trustee, it is important to consider his place of residence. the further from your house, the less likely they will be able to visit it with scheduled inspections. Given this factor, the ideal option would be neighbors, if you are close enough, of course.
  5. Many residential complexes offer their residents a concierge service with a wide range of services. You can ask a staff member to check in on you from time to time to make sure everything is okay.
