What Is Property Preservation?
Property preservation involves the securing, protecting, preserving
and preparing of properties for sale that have went into
foreclosure, default, or are in bank-owned status. The increase of
REO (real estate owned) properties have created an increase of
vacant and/or abandoned homes. As they increase, so do companies
that provide property preservation services. The U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have set guidelines and
regulations that help protect lenders and mortgage holders from
further damages or costs that may be associated with these
properties.
The following are some of the services provided by Scenic Home
Restoration's Property Preservation Division:
Securing of property
RE-Key (door lock entries and/or deadbolts) are changed according to
lender requirements.
Padlocks and hasps may be installed to accompany lock change if
required for complete property security.
Lock boxes are typically installed with an assigned code unless
already provided by realtor. Lock boxes secure keys to the property
to allow third party access and showing of a property.
Board-ups are completed to secure windows, doors, and entry ways
that allow easy access into the property. All board-ups meet or
exceed requirements set by HUD.
Swimming pool areas - swimming pool areas are secured according to
appropriate guideline requirements and/or HUD requirements.
Debris Removal / Trashout
Personal property - items that are considered personal properties
(ex. televisions, computers, items in good condition, family photos,
paperwork, etc) are typically consolidated for period of 30 - 90
days depending on lender requirements. Personal items that are not
claimed within this period are either given to charity organization,
Goodwill, Salvation Army, recycled or disposed of.
Debris - debris is removed based on lender/insurer/client
instructions. Debris is removed and counted based on cubic yards.
