The Risks of Leaving Property Unattended
Leaving a site without professional vacant property security services is a gamble that can cost thousands in legal fees and repairs. The challenges facing property owners today are distinct and serious.
This is the number one fear for UK landlords. Once squatters gain access and establish “residency,” removing them becomes a complex civil legal matter that can take months. During that time, you lose control of your asset, and the damage caused inside can be devastating.
Thieves know that empty buildings often contain valuable metals. Copper piping, lead roofing, and electrical wiring can be stripped out in a single night, causing structural damage that costs far more to fix than the value of the stolen metal.
Empty buildings attract anti-social behaviour. Broken windows, graffiti, and even arson attacks are common issues for unsecured sites.
Did you know that most commercial property insurance policies contain clauses about vacancy? If a building is empty for more than 30 days without documented inspections or security, your policy might be void.
