Owning from afar
An empty property does not look after itself: inspection visits, mail, claims, managing agent, works. French Realty carries out the caretaking on site, on quotation, and coordinates the trades.
The essentials
A property held from abroad needs a cruising regime: a periodic inspection visit with a photo report, mail follow-up, a contact able to stand in with the managing agent and trigger a repair. Insurance for an empty home follows its own rules, and a claim must be declared within contractual deadlines, even from another time zone. French Realty carries out these caretaking services on quotation and coordinates works and interventions: this is the heart of its trade, anywhere in France.
