Empty doesn't mean low risk.
Empty buildings attract trespass, vandalism and theft. A vacant property can sit quietly for weeks, then develop an expensive problem overnight. Regular checks and visible patrols can identify issues before they become costly.
When this makes sense.
- A building is between tenants or awaiting redevelopment
- A property is temporarily vacant during a refurbishment
- A development site is empty outside working hours
- An unoccupied building has had signs of trespass or vandalism

Questions about vacant property security.
It depends on the property, the area and the risk. Some vacant buildings need daily checks, others are fine with two or three visits a week. We'll recommend a frequency and you decide.
Yes, where the risk justifies it. Some vacant properties need a permanent presence, others just need regular patrols. We'll tell you what we think makes sense.
Properties with a history of unauthorised occupation need a higher level of cover. We'd typically recommend more frequent patrols or a permanent presence until the risk reduces.
