The Figures
Interested in saving money? Live-in Guardians can save you up to 100% on the cost of traditional security solutions.
In most cases, we’ll even hand your property back to you in a better condition than how we received it!
What’s the process?
It’s a simple 3 step procedure, which could save you thousands of pounds.
The owner of a property enters into an Agreement with Live-in Guardians Limited (LIG) authorising them to provide its services to secure the owner's vacant property.
To assist Live-in Guardians to provide its services, LIG's associate company, Live-in Guardians Management Limited (LIM) grants non-exclusive licences to guardians to occupy a particular property.
Upon termination of the agreement between LIG and the owner, the licence between LIM and the Guardian automatically terminates, which ensures our guardians do not acquire any tenancy rights.
Who Are The Guardians?
We only provide trustworthy and reliable people as guardians for your property. We spend time getting to know the people that are going to be living in your building and make sure that the living arrangements will be beneficial for both parties. A lot of our guardians stay in our scheme for a long time, and that’s something which we are very proud of!
Am I covered?
Yes! At Live-in Guardians, we take our management responsibilities very seriously. As such, we have comprehensive public liability and professional indemnity insurance in place to give you total peace of mind. This policy provides us with all the necessary coverage and protects us from any liability we may incur in connection with our business operations.
Additionally, through the use of our Guardians, any properties previously classified as unoccupied can become eligible for reduced insurance premiums. We also offer a number of rate saving schemes for short-term occupiers. For more info get in touch.
