Vacant properties present owners with particular financial and security challenges. The costs associated with maintaining vacant properties are manifold and include insurance premiums, maintenance costs, and more. In addition, the security of vacant properties is a critical issue, as empty properties can often become a target for vandals and intruders.
Live-in Guardians was established to provide a reliable and commercial solution to the problems created by empty properties. Through Property Guardianship, we provide a vacant property solution, that can help property owners to protect their investments.
Property Guardianship is an arrangement where individuals, known as Property Guardians, live in vacant or temporarily unused properties to deter vandalism, squatting, and maintain the building. In exchange for reduced rent, Guardians keep the building occupied around the clock, helping property owners protect their assets until they decide on future use or development.
For owners of vacant properties, Guardianship offers a cost-effective vacant property solution. By having their property occupied around the clock, owners can be assured that their property is safe and secure.
By keeping a property legally occupied with property Guardians, owners can also become eligible for business rate relief. This allows them to save a huge amount of money that would have otherwise been wasted on an empty building that is not being used for its intended purpose.
As well as this, having a Property Guardian occupy an empty building prevents the building from falling into disrepair. Property Guardians are responsible for making our team aware of any maintenance and cleaning issues, helping to ensure that the property remains in good condition. This can help property owners to save money on repair and maintenance costs.
Property Guardianship also offers flexibility to property owners, as they can take back management of their property with just 28 days notice. This is particularly useful for properties that are only going to be vacant for a short period of time. With Live-in Guardians, property owners can end the Guardianship agreement at any time with just one month’s notice. This gives owners complete control over their property.
Property Guardianship helps property owners to tackle the complex issues associated with vacant properties. Property Guardianship is a unique vacant property solution that helps to ensure the security and maintenance of vacant properties.
