What overseas owners should check after winter rain in an empty villa or holiday home in Cyprus.
Quick answer
After winter rain, empty villas should be checked for roof leaks, damp marks, swollen doors, mould, blocked drainage, exterior cracks, electrical issues and water entry around windows.
Why rain checks matter
Many Cyprus homes appear fine during dry months but show problems after heavy rain. Empty properties are at higher risk because nobody is there to notice early signs.
Inside the property
Check ceilings, corners, wardrobes, bathrooms, under sinks, around windows and rooms below flat roofs or balconies.
Outside the property
Check roof areas, gutters, drainage points, exterior walls, terraces, balconies, pool areas and boundary walls.
Final recommendation
Arrange a post-rain property check if the villa has been empty, especially before guests or owners arrive.
