About this service

An empty building has fewer people available to notice forced entry, damage, leaks or developing hazards. Our vacant property inspection service provides scheduled internal and external checks, clear evidence of every visit and prompt escalation when something needs attention.

Thorough checks inside and out

Each visit follows an agreed property checklist. Officers inspect boundaries, gates, doors, windows and other access points before checking authorised internal areas for damage, leaks, fire indicators, utility concerns and signs of unauthorised occupation.

Early warning before problems escalate

Vacant buildings can deteriorate quickly when small issues go unnoticed. Regular inspections help identify forced entry, vandalism, fly-tipping, water ingress, storm damage, broken lighting and other exceptions early enough for the property manager to take action.

Clear evidence for every visit

Inspection activity is recorded with arrival details, completed checkpoints, concise observations and photographs where appropriate. Reports distinguish between a normal visit, a maintenance item and an urgent security or safety concern requiring immediate escalation.

A plan shaped around the property

Visit frequency, access arrangements and escalation contacts are agreed around the building, location and risk profile. The service can be coordinated with key holding, alarm response or temporary guarding when an inspection identifies an issue that cannot be resolved immediately.
