What's it all about
We offer a cost saving, comprehensive property management and security service. The placement of property guardians ensures not only that your asset is well looked after by vetted guardians, but acts as an early warning system against the likelihood of the onset of damp, dilapidation or utility failures (e.g. burst water pipes), as well preventing and deterring any ASB or attempted break-ins.
Using our guardians will save you money
Up to 100% of the cost of traditional security saved - with the added peace of mind that someone reliable is looking after the property as if it were their own.
* You also may benefit from reduced property insurance premiums by as much as 80%.
STOP The squat
Since residential squatting laws were revised, loop-holes to legally occupy commercial buildings are still being exploited and properties are being asset stripped, leaving thousands of pounds of damage for the owner.
Having our property guardians in occupation sends a strong message to any person hoping to exploit an empty property. Their presence in a building, coupled with keeping the surrounding areas free from rubbish, is a sure way to detract from any anti-social behaviour - result!
Save on Empty Property rates
We are able to save you tens of thousands of pounds against your Empty Property Rates (EPR). Working alongside the rates relief teams within the various councils, we are able to create savings of up to 80% off your tax liability.
Your commercial space could be temporarily used in providing further education assistance in the local community.
