A void property is a vulnerable property – from weather, from trespass and from criminal activity. Every location has its own vulnerabilities, but wherever your property is and whether it’s empty in the short or longer term, there are three good reasons for protecting it:
Metal theft remains a significant threat to vacant properties, with valuable materials like copper piping, lead roofing, and metal fixtures being prime targets. Thieves often cause extensive damage to access these materials, potentially exposing hazards like asbestos and increasing repair costs.
Vacant properties are also extremely vulnerable to arson and accidental fires. Over half of all fires happen in empty properties due to anti-social behaviour, so it’s important to secure against fire and prevent hefty insurance costs.
Empty property protection such as alarms with smoke detection, CCTV towers or vacant property security specialists will act as a powerful deterrent against all forms of anti-social behaviour.
If you manage vacant land or property, you’ll be familiar with the dangers of illegal occupation by squatters. Squatters can do lots of damage to your building inside and out. Evicting squatters can be a challenge as these groups can be well-organised and know a lot about their legal rights. To avoid a lengthy and costly battle, it’s important as a property manager to prevent unauthorised access in the first place and take quick action if anyone attempts to do so.
We have a full range of security options that can help you do just that – from trained security guards to mobile CCTV units, we have something to suit your requirements and budget.
At Select Solutions we offer a wide range of security measures to residential and commercial property owners across the UK. We work directly with property managers, landlords, estate agents, local authorities and retailers to provide protection for vacant units.
Types of property security we offer are:
If you manage a large-scale vacant property and are looking for an effective solution to security issues that will both deter and deal with criminal activity, having highly trained SIA licenced manned security guards on your site is the most effective option.
Our physical security guards will conduct security patrols of the empty building, alongside security dogs if required, ensuring that everything is as it should be, and that suspicious activity is dealt with as soon as it occurs.
Our professional security guards are highly trained and are SIA accredited to deliver a variety of options including static manned guarding, dog patrols, mobile security, keyholding services and more. Security teams provide rapid response security and 24/7 cover to protect your valuable assets.
Site security is incredibly valuable, but it can be expensive, especially if your property is empty and not bringing in any income. CCTV towers offer the perfect solution, providing 24/7 protection to vacant properties, as well as construction sites, car parks, and rural locations.
At Select Solutions, our CCTV towers offer a comprehensive and cost-effective security solution, monitoring your site for signs of a security breach. CCTV towers really are one of the best vacant property security solutions as they do the work of security officers, a CCTV and alarm system at the same time for a fraction of the price.
Not only do our mobile towers monitor your vacant site and act as a highly effective visual deterrent to intruders, but if they detect unauthorised access, it will alert security and yourself immediately, enabling you to take the appropriate action. All events are recorded, stored remotely, and made available to security staff as well as local authorities, providing greater peace of mind when securing vacant properties.
