What happens to your home when you leave it alone?

Living on the Costa Blanca is a real dream. Enjoying the best Mediterranean climate and an exceptional quality of life should be your only concern in a place as privileged as this.

However, you may have been concerned about your home being left unattended for long periods of time when you have to leave.

Every time you have to leave your home alone, have you ever been afraid that, when you return, you will find it occupied or that, due to a storm, it will be affected by flooding or even uncomfortable dampness?

These are just some of the unpleasant situations that you may find when you return to your home for your holidays.

Here are some of the things that happen to your home when you go away and how to deal with them.

What situations can you encounter while you are away and leave your home alone?

If you leave your home alone, you may encounter different types of scenarios:

1. Burglary in your home.

This is one of the worst situations you might find yourself in while you are away, as burglars and squatters choose unoccupied houses to break into.

2. Floods caused by heavy rainfall.

It doesn’t rain much on the Costa Blanca, but it is common for storms with heavy rains to arrive at specific times, a phenomenon known as “Gota Fría” which cause flooding in a large part of the territory causing great devastation.

3. Damage to both the interior and exterior of your home.

Lack of maintenance and control in your home can lead to undesired damage that can lead to high repair costs.

4. Damp, mould and mildew.

It is important to ventilate the house to prevent mould, damp and other problems caused by keeping the house closed for long periods of time.

5. Finding your house occupied on arrival.

As we have already mentioned, squatters take advantage of the absence of the owners to enter the houses and live there. This situation is very unpleasant and causes great impotence.

6. A poor state of your garden or swimming pool.

Lack of use and maintenance can lead to big problems in your garden and especially in your pool.

7. Your palm trees affected by the red palm weevil.

Imagine arriving home to find that your palm trees and plants are being affected by the red palm weevil, a tropical insect that feeds on the tenderest part of them, devouring the inside of the trunk until it weakens and causes the death of the palm tree, the jewel of your garden.

8. A light on that increases your electricity bill in a disproportionate way.

Can you imagine what would happen if you leave a light on in your home while you are away? The electricity bill during that period could reach exorbitant amounts that you would have no choice but to pay. Just because of a small slip-up that you could have avoided.

You wouldn’t want to have to go through any of these scenarios while you’re away, would you?
