A while back I wrote about buying lots during this time of economic turmoil…lands, after all is a secure investment. Aside from acquiring real estate, there are ways to preserving your properties in case you decide on using it later on. Property preservation is a unique sort of package offered to house owners and to mortgage companies. It is a task which is assigned to certain contractors to keep properties in the top of conditions.

In preserving your properties, these are some services offered by Property Management services:
Inspections
Inspections on a property are held before: to check on the overall status of a property. During: to oversee the repairs and check the progress of work being done. After: to assess the overall result of the maintenance done.
Lawn maintenance
Removing weeds (dandelions, klamath, poison ivy, burdock) unknown plants, and moss will help prevent air and nutrients being blocked from getting to the roots of your beloved plants. These unwanted growth can be detrimental to their health. Aside from mowing, plucking any grass that seem odd from the usual fully until the roots is a good way to go.
Moss grow from moisture in the soil. Make sure there is a good drainage method in your garden, property management services can treat them off by scarifying.
Roof repair
No one will be happy living under leaking roofs. That’s why it’s best to get roofs repaired as soon as you see a problem. Property managers can come by to your house for an assessment and would let you know if a repair will be effective or a total roof replacement would be better in the long run. You can also contact professionals or search for roofing companies. For example, Roofing association, the UK’s largest network of professional roofing companies can point you to the best service provider near your area.
Evictions
Probably the least liked part of property preservation is eviction. Aside from having property residents vacate (if there are), personal belongings should be removed and moved – you would need a transport and perhaps a storage facility for these items. Once cleared, you would be able to see and assess the property properly.
Damage Estimates
Following assessment, an inspector will take photos, write down the major areas need to be repaired, draft a plan for repairs, and provide estimates for all the damages.
Lock Changes
In cases where eviction happens, changing locks is the first thing property managers are asked to do. This would give them easy access for when they need to enter the property.
Window Boarding
Boarding up windows can prevent debris of a storm from smashing your home, to protect unused, vacant property. Since repairs can’t be done immediately after inspection, this is to temporarily prevent unauthorized access by squatters or looters into the property.
Debris/Hazard Material Removal
If the property is an abandoned one, removal of hazardous items both inside and outside the property is a top priority. Doing so will prevent any untoward incident to anyone getting into the property.
General Contracting
General contracting is the term commonly used for the supervisory work performed by a general contractor (GC). A GC is responsible for managing and building a project designed by someone else. GCs oversees renovation and building projects, GCs are also responsible in managing and hiring subcontractors and other labor in construction projects. The general contractor, simply put, is the first person clients talk to. You can trust a GC to do everything for the betterment of and for preserving your property.
