Vacant property monitoring

An empty property is a risk that compounds quietly: a small leak, a forced door, squatters, a lapsed insurance condition. Regular evidenced visits catch problems while they are still small — and give your insurer the record it asks for.

Who this is for

  • Owners of empty residential or commercial property
  • Managing agents holding vacant units or buildings
  • Anyone whose insurance policy requires regular documented inspections

What the inspection covers

  • Scheduled visits at the frequency your policy or instructions require
  • External and internal security check — doors, windows, access points
  • Signs of forced entry, occupation or vandalism
  • Leaks, damp, and visible deterioration
  • Meter readings and specific checks where instructed
  • A photographic, time-stamped report for every visit

What it does not include

Stated up front, so there are no surprises.

  • Property security services — we inspect and report; boarding, locksmithing or guarding are separate trades
  • Repairs or drain-downs — we identify and evidence issues for your contractors
  • A guarantee against loss — documented inspections reduce risk; they cannot eliminate it

What you receive

  • A visit-by-visit photographic record of the property's condition
  • Urgent findings flagged to your nominated contact from site, ahead of the report
  • A running history you can produce for your insurer if you ever claim
  • Office-reviewed reports issued under unique report numbers

What we'll ask you

Having these to hand makes your quotation quick and accurate.

  • The property address and type
  • What your insurance policy requires — frequency and any specific checks
  • Key or access arrangements
  • Who to contact if we find something urgent

When we find defects

Urgent findings — a break-in, an active leak — are escalated to your nominated contact rather than waiting for the report.

Pricing and coverage

Quoted per visit based on property size and frequency. Recurring schedules are priced as a programme.

We serve residential and commercial properties across London.

A note on frequency: there is no single legal interval for vacant property inspections — the right frequency is usually set by your insurance policy's unoccupancy conditions. We align the schedule to your policy rather than selling you a one-size-fits-all number.
