It is
not just our opinion,
it is a fact based on
experience. For a second
opinion ask any insurance
company many of which
would automatically charge
extra premiums for unoccupied
properties. Unoccupied
properties are considered
higher risk mainly because:
- They can be attractive
to thieves.
- They can suffer
from leaks and
floods (esp. from
heavy downpours).
However, in addition
to the above insurable
risks there is another
potential problem.
Closed and unventilated
properties can suffer
from terrible mildew
and mould on the Algarve.
Not only is this damaging,
it also leaves a distinctive
and unpleasant odor
which can take months
to go.
For all these reasons,
it is important to
have your Villa
regularly checked and
aired. |
