Secure Your Vacant Health Building with Live-in Guardians

When medical buildings, such as hospitals, GP surgeries, or health centres, become vacant, they can quickly attract unwanted attention, ranging from squatting and vandalism to theft or damage. Our live-in guardian service provides a practical and affordable solution by placing trusted individuals in the property to maintain a visible and lawful presence. This helps protect the building from deterioration while keeping it monitored, safe, and compliant with insurance requirements. It’s a cost-effective alternative to traditional security, ensuring healthcare properties are treated with care and respect.

In recent years we have employed Live-in Guardians Limited's services to safeguard buildings which have been pending refurbishment or disposal or awaiting planning permission.

We would recommend Live-in Guardians Limited's services to anyone that might be interested.

We have used Live-in Guardians Limited's services on several occasions to safeguard our properties whilst they are awaiting planning permission. The team always act swiftly to place their guardians into our empty properties, managing the whole process from start to finish. Not only were our properties protected, Live-in Guardians were also able to dramatically reduce our empty rates liabilities. Without hesitation, we would be very happy to recommend Live-in Guardians Limited based on our own positive experiences.

Tom Pontin

Fantastic experience as a landlord using Live-in Guardians. Initially they protected the property whilst it was vacant, then did an incredible job of bringing it up to standard, with tenant safety paramount. Work finished today and the property is fully let. They’ve kept me informed throughout. Can highly recommend their services.

We at Londonewcastle have found Live-in Guardians to be responsive, reliable and proactive in resolving any issues that have arisen during the course of their appointment. The nil management fee that Live-in Guardians offers ensures that we, the client, receive a very cost effective solution, especially when compared to other alternatives on the market. Live-in Guardians have ensured that our building is both protected and safe from squatters and vandals and most importantly, they have saved us over £100,000 in relation to our empty rates liability.

We employed Live-in Guardians Limited services to safeguard our building in WC2 which was vacant awaiting planning permission. This has not only helped us reduce our costs, including a significant reduction in our empty business rates (over £100,000), but given us peace of mind that our building is protected and safe. From the initial appointment of Live-in Guardians, they offered an innovative and cost effective approach to vacant property protection. We found all Live-in Guardian staff and guardians helpful, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Without hesitation, we would strongly recommend the service Live-in Guardians has to offer based on our own positive experience.

DirectorProject MET

Commercial Client

We were delighted with the service we received from Live In Guardians. During the enforced pub closures of COVID, the substantial listed property which we managed was broken into and vandalised when it was vacant. In addition, the upper floors were being refurbished which made them unsuitable for occupation. We did not want to fully board up the property but had genuine concerns over the security of the premises, which were shared by the local planning department. Live-in Guardians found an experienced Guardian for us. They successfully prevented further attempted break-ins and kept the property secure until it was sold. The sale of the property took far longer than anticipated, but LIG were able to support us right through until the day of the sale. LIG proved to be fundamental in maintaining the physical security of the property, which could not have been achieved as effectively with boarding-up and remote monitoring.
