Vacant Property Security
Why Vacant Property Services?
Lets start with a true story which has repeated itself for several of our past clients. After many years of trading, an iconic industrial business in the local area has discovered through cost of trade, taking on modern premises or simply lack of succession that a decision is made to close a site and leave it vacant. Because of the local significance, the closure was reported in the local press and given prominence. Whilst a harmless story steeped in nostalgia is a good way for many to say goodbye, it can also be a beacon for opportunists within the criminal fraternity, making them aware of the vacant property. Without an effective vacant property security solution, the empty premises can easily become targeted with thieves often attending at all hours and stripping of all valuable items. Had this victim had a security guard in place, the damage simply wouldn't have happened.. If they'd been using a service like ours to carry out regular vacant property checks, then the damage caused could have been minimised, as the vacant property check would have highlighted a concern, which could have triggered a more robust security delivery.
At K9 Protection, we work with building owners, councils, estate agents and loss adjusters in order to provide an effective vacant property security service in order to protect premises from being stripped of valuable infrastructure; the type of thing that when missing could affect the resale value of a property by numbers not even worth considering. Providing vacant property security is something we have many years of experience with.
Depending on the size of a vacant building, we have our complete suite of services to help:
