Work
On tour, on location, or on the road for the run.
Irregular, intense and scheduled by somebody else — with dates that shift and a household that is entirely away.
Typical duration
Weeks at a time, back to back
Notice you get
Short and changeable
Contactable?
At unusual hours
Dominant risk
Cumulative unoccupancy
Touring and location work produces absences that are neither short nor predictable. A production runs for eleven weeks and then a fortnight longer. A tour adds dates. A shoot moves.
Working hours are unusual and intense, which makes the owner hard to reach during ordinary business hours in a way that even frequent travellers are not.
These absences also often follow one another with only days at home in between, so the cumulative unoccupied time across a year is far higher than any single trip suggests.
What makes this different
Every situation on this site is empty for a reason. These are the things specific to this one.
Scheduled by production, not by the owner
Dates move, extend and compress with no notice.
Unusual working hours
Reachable at odd times rather than during a normal day.
Back-to-back absences
Days at home between runs, so the property is effectively unoccupied for most of a year.
What typically goes wrong
- Dates changing after arrangements are set
- Short turnarounds at home leaving no time to deal with anything found
- Cumulative absence far exceeding any single booking
- Difficulty reaching the owner within ordinary hours
