How Urbex platforms pose a risk to your vacant property
You see a building without a function. Others see an opportunity.
Did you know that your vacant property can be found by thrillseekers, vandals and squatters within minutes? Thanks to platforms like urbexology.com, it has become child’s play to find and enter risky locations, with all the consequences for you as the owner.
The Urbex World: an adventure for some, headache for others
Urban Exploring, or “Urbex”, sounds like an innocent adventure at first glance: exploring abandoned buildings and mysterious locations. But in practice, it often involves illegal entry, damage to property and attracting unwanted visitors. Websites like urbexology.com make it even easier. Here, users can find detailed information about abandoned buildings:
Location coordinates
Entry tips
Photos and videos of the interior
Security level ratings (!)
With just a few clicks, people will know where your building is, how to get in and whether other “explorers” have been there before.
The risks for you as an owner
Once a property is on the radar of the urbex community, immediate risks arise:
Burglary and vandalism
Fire hazard
Injury and liability (yes, even if they are illegal!)
Drug use or illegal parties
Structural damage and pollution
Negative reputation or media attention
And all this while you are paying the costs.
