Valley Home Check

Beware Thy Well-Intentioned Neighbor

Before asking a neighbor to look after your home while you’re away on holidays, you’ll want to ask yourself the following questions:

1. Does your neighbor have liability insurance to cover any damages that may result from improper home check procedures?
2. Does your neighbor follow proper home check procedures?
3. Do you know your neighbor well enough to entrust them with your home’s keys and alarm codes?
4. Is your neighbor willing to commit themselves for the period of time you are away?
5. If your neighbor cannot continue to do home checks, do they have a back-up plan and what is the plan?
6. Is your neighbor aware of the responsibility they are committing themselves to and the possible repercussions?
7. What will happen if the neighbor gets hurt or does damage to your home while performing house checks?
8. Is your neighbor aware of the insurance consequences of not performing proper home checks and that your home insurance may be nullified in the event of a claim?
