Are management agents responsible when property is vacant?

Hi All,
Are management/letting agents responsible when property is vacant? My apartment is vacant at the moment and Im wondering if my agent (who I get to manage the property) is responsible to keep a check on it etc. Possible break in, water damage etc...
I have checked our agreement and it does not state if they do or not.
Many thanks.

I think you would need to specifically state this in the contract - I doubt the agent would provide this service free of charge, and I presume you need to agree on frequency of visits, particular checks to be made etc

If the agreement doesn't state it, then it's safe to assume they don't.

Thanks All,
That's what I thought. I will speak to my agent.
Many Thanks.

It is a very relevant point you raised. I would agree that it would need to be specified that the property is visited on a weekly/ twice weekly basis while vacant.
As it can take some time to get a tenanat now it would be recommended that someone keeps an eye on the palce.
