Hello! This is Kasahara from Nishida Service.
Today, I would like to introduce a vacant property management job for a customer in Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama.
The customer was going to be away from home for an extended period due to an overseas business trip, and asked us to look after the building until the sale of their property, which is currently in progress, is completed.
While living abroad, it is not easy to check on the condition of one’s home in person. When a house is left unoccupied for a long time, various concerns arise, such as deterioration of the building, security risks, and overgrown weeds in the garden.
For this reason, we received a request from the real estate company, and we are now carrying out regular vacant property management in coordination with the person in charge.
Vacant property management is about more than simply checking the exterior of a building.
When no one lives in a home, routine upkeep and small checks tend to be overlooked, and deterioration or problems can progress without anyone noticing.
At Nishida Service, we check the condition of the building while carrying out a wide range of necessary maintenance and management tasks.
Here are our main management services.
「Exterior Inspection」
We check the exterior walls and windows for damage, and look for any abnormalities on the property.
Spotting changes from the outside, including after typhoons and strong winds, leads to early detection of problems.
「Weeding and Garden Maintenance」
We mow and prune as needed to keep weeds and plants in the garden from becoming overgrown.
Keeping the garden tidy not only maintains the appearance of the building but is also important for security.
「Indoor Ventilation and Plumbing Check」
We air out the interior and run water in each plumbing fixture to check its condition.
Toilets and drainage systems can develop faults when left unused for a long time, so we check them regularly.
「Mail Collection and Management」
We collect mail so that it does not pile up in the mailbox and store it indoors.
A mailbox full of mail can signal that no one is home for a long period, so this is an essential management task from a security perspective.
「Locking and Key Management」
We check that windows and entrances are locked, and manage the keys with great care in their storage and handling.
In this way, we do more than check on the condition of a vacant property. We keep the building in good condition so that you can proceed with the sale and any future procedures with peace of mind.

A major feature of this vacant property management job is that we work in close coordination with the real estate company.
During the sales process, the real estate company may ask for urgent checks or responses. In such cases, we stay in contact with everyone involved and do our best to respond quickly and flexibly to each situation.
Even when the customer is far away or overseas, being able to entrust necessary on-site tasks to us is one of the great advantages of using a vacant property management service. At Nishida Service, we value a management system that is easy to consult and reliable, not only for our customers but also for real estate companies.
For this request, when starting the vacant property management, we also cleared out the furniture, household goods, and other items left inside the house, as well as unwanted belongings.
In vacant property management, it is not uncommon for work beyond maintaining the building to be necessary, such as organizing the interior and disposing of unwanted items.
Nishida Service is strong in handling a wide variety of requests, including junk removal, furniture carry-out, interior tidying, mowing, and garden maintenance. This reduces the hassle of contacting multiple companies separately, and you can consult us about all of your vacant property concerns in one place.

There are many reasons for owning a vacant property, including job transfers, overseas assignments, long business trips, inheritance, and property sales.
However, even a house where no one lives needs regular checks and upkeep in order to maintain the building.
「You will be away from home for a long period」
「You live overseas or in a rural area and cannot check on your vacant property」
「You would like the building to be managed until your property is sold」
「You would also like help with mowing the garden and removing unwanted items inside the house」
「You would like us to work in coordination with your real estate company」
If any of these concerns sound familiar, please consult Nishida Service.
Even within vacant property management, the care and support that each customer needs can vary. At Nishida Service, we offer a wide range of services, including regular building checks and security management, as well as mowing, garden maintenance, junk removal, and interior tidying.
Whether you have a small concern about your vacant property or would like to hand everything over to us at once, we will respond flexibly to your needs. Please feel free to contact us!
