February 27, 2026

London, 27th February 2026 – Live-in Guardians, the UK’s leading vacant property protection specialists, have been shortlisted in four major categories at the prestigious Property Week Resi Awards 2026.

The business has been named a finalist in the following categories:

  • Affordable Housing Award (Less than 500 units)
  • Asset Manager of the Year
  • Property Manager of the Year
  • Residential Leader of the Year – Arthur Duke

The Resi Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the residential property sector, recognising organisations and individuals who are driving standards forward and delivering meaningful impact across the industry. The 2026 awards ceremony will take place on 6 May at Grosvenor House, London, bringing together senior leaders from across the UK residential market.

Being shortlisted across four categories reflects the breadth of Live-in Guardians’ work, from providing strategic asset management and professional property services for owners nationwide, to delivering high-quality affordable accommodation solutions.

At the heart of the business is a model that transforms vacant buildings into secure, well-managed homes for carefully vetted Guardians. This approach enables property owners to protect their assets in a commercially efficient way, while also supporting key workers and young professionals with access to affordable accommodation in high-demand areas.

Arthur Duke, Founder and Chairman at Live-in Guardians, commented, “We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted in four categories at the 2026 Resi Awards. This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team and our continued commitment to delivering professional, compliant and socially responsible property solutions. To be acknowledged not only for our affordable housing offer, but also for asset management, property management and leadership, demonstrates the strength and maturity of our business as it continues to evolve within the residential sector.”

The shortlist builds on recent industry recognition, including being highly commended in the Social Impact category at the latest Estates Gazette Awards.

This latest recognition further reinforces Live-in Guardians’ position as a leading and innovative force within the UK residential property market, as the company continues to expand its national footprint and refine best-in-class standards across its portfolio.
