Like many Canadians, I too enjoy escaping the harsh Winter months for some R & R, sunshine, & a break from the snow. We often spend hours scouring the internet for the best price & best place to vacation, make all the travel plans, stop the paper delivery, figure out what to pack, do you need that new bathing suit... However, have you ever checked your home owner insurance policy to see how often & who is required to visit your home? Did you know that many policies require that someone visit & log/document the visit every 48 hours? That without proof, your policy could be voided should, heavens forbid, a disaster occurs in or to your home. So should your brother-in-law or neighbor forget or put off visiting your home for that one extra day, & a fire should break out or a pipe leak, your insurance company may not cover your home for damages because it was not checked on within the required time frame &/or properly documented.
In Nova Scotia, we are very lucky to have a service being offered to us by the Commissionaires.
