Vacant Property Inspections – Giving You Peace of Mind and Security

Security is a concern for all landlords. An empty property results in many sleepless nights. Landlords and property owners, be they commercial or residential, must find ways of making their buildings secure. Other than taking up camp in your own lettings, what options do you have?

How to Secure Your Vacant Property

Vacant Property Inspections

Vacant property inspections will alert you to problems and give you information regarding any causes for concern or potential risks to your investment. Having eyes on the ground saves you time and provides peace of mind. It can also act as a deterrent to those looking to damage the property or set up home inside your walls. 

Check meters are not in use, consider boarding up the property and use inspections to keep you updated on the condition of the property. The great thing about inspections is that you can discuss the risks to your property and design an inspection to meet your bespoke requirements.

Alarm Systems are Essential for Security

At the very least you will need to have an alarm on your property. Fire alarms, alarm response and intruder systems must be installed and maintained. There are a variety of different levels of service and maintenance plans. Look for plans by Security Company Nottingham that can be adapted to your property and own requirements for the most cost-effective solutions. 

Key Holding and Response Services

Security can be increased with the addition of a key holding, security systems and response service. When the alarm is triggered, security teams at Security Company Sheffield will respond on your behalf or to protect your staff and take the appropriate action.

The Complete Security Set-Up

When it comes to vacant property security, it pays to have a range of suitable security solutions that complement each other. You should also consider how the solutions can be adapted once the property has been filled and new tenants arrive. Combining security services mentioned above with remote CCTV monitoring , mobile security services and emergency lighting will protect your investment; helping you to meet insurance requirements.

Security is Part of Property Management

Property management is the one side of the job that new landlords often fail to consider. As a result, many buildings become squatter settlements, are vandalised or they fall into disrepair; potentially costing the landlord thousands. Leaving property management concerns to the last minute is costly. Regular security inspections and other security arrangements are essential to keeping costs down and your property secure.
