Leaving a House Unoccupied in Lebanon: Is It Safe?

Summary

In r/Lebanon, community members discuss whether it is safe to buy, furnish, and leave a house unoccupied outside Beirut, including in Batroun. The conversation considers home invasion concerns, internet access, and the possibility of buying before property prices rise.

Is it safe to own a house and leave it uninhabited?

Hello people, we're thinking about buying a house outside of Beirut, whether Batroun or elsewhere safe with good Internet and a more peaceful life. If we buy one in the future, furnish it, and leave to live elsewhere until the situation settles, is it safe to leave it uninhabited? I think it's better to buy now than later when prices go up, if the country ever gets fixed.

Are there many home invasions in Lebanon. Unfortunately, we heard of 2 not too long ago, this year, related to people we know here in Canada. I think they were outside of Beirut but not that far, maybe. I forget.

Thanks.
