Vacant Property

An empty building still carries risk and still deteriorates. We hold a schedule of inspections, security arrangements and compliance checks so the asset is protected and ready when it is needed.

How we run it

Inspection on a written schedule

Each visit follows the same checklist: ingress, damage, unauthorised entry, water and drainage, fire precautions and boundary condition, with photographs and a dated report each time.

Security set to the risk

Keyholding, patrol frequency and access arrangements are set against the location, the building's condition and how long it will stay empty, and reviewed as those change.

Ready for handback

Clearance, cleaning, minor repairs and records are prepared ahead of reletting, sale or reoccupation so the building can be handed over without a scramble.
