Over a decade of expertise

"I started Live-in Guardians because I felt there was the need for a company to provide a commercial solution to the owners of empty properties whilst assisting younger people to find affordable, cost effective ways of living in London.

For the owners we offer the 3 P’S - Prevent, Protect and Preserve. We ensure our professional service allows the owners to progress with their plans without having to worry about the security and well-being of the building.

For the Guardians, we provide a safe, economical way of living in London and for many a helping start of their new career.

Finally, for the local communities, we ensure livened in buildings, high quality residents and support for local business.

We are constantly looking to improve our services and our many accreditation and rapidly increasing clients base confirms we are satisfying the needs of London’s property owners."
