Detailed Condition Monitoring Scope
“We provide the evidence trail insurers look for first.”
| Security & Access Audit | Environmental & Risk Assessment | Essential Utility Monitoring |
| Forced entry & tampering checks | Active leaks & water staining | Fuse box & electrical verification |
| Vandalism & Graffiti monitoring | Damp, mould & condensation logs | Plumbing checks (Burst pipes) |
| Boundary & Perimeter integrity | Structural defect observation | Utility meter readings |
Winterisation & Alarm Management
Stop the Damage Before It Starts. Unoccupied homes are at risk of burst pipes and “phantom alarms.” We provide full system drain-downs and Alarm Decommissioning to silence failing systems and avoid local council noise abatement notices.
We help executors avoid ‘Negligence’ claims by ensuring the property meets the specific ‘Unoccupied’ criteria required by UK insurers during the winter months (October – March).

Important Scope Limitation (Legal Disclaimer)
VPI specializes in INDEPENDENT, FACTUAL REPORTING and immediate SECURITY RESTORATION only. Our role is strictly to observe and document the property’s condition (Factual Reporting) or replace faulty/damaged locks (Security Restoration). Once a non-security fault is identified (e.g., burst pipe), we provide the evidence to the client for their specialist contractor. VPI is not liable for financial loss incurred due to reliance on or omissions within the report.
