Vacant Property Inspections

Safeguarding vacant properties is a critical responsibility for landlords, asset managers and facilities professionals. PROTECT’s Vacant Property Inspections are specifically designed to ensure your empty or unoccupied sites remain secure, compliant and in prime condition for future use. Whether it’s a commercial building between tenants, a social housing unit awaiting refurbishment, or an industrial facility in transition, our inspection service reduces risk, prevents costly incidents and keeps you in line with insurer requirements. 

Our approach begins with a detailed risk assessment tailored to your site’s profile, location and threat environment. PROTECT’s trained inspectors carry out routine checks—weekly, fortnightly or at custom intervals—covering everything from perimeter security, signs of intrusion or squatting, fire and water risks, to utility meter readings and evidence of vandalism or fly-tipping. Each visit is logged in real-time using our proprietary QuidvisRisk platform, providing you with instant digital reports, time-stamped photos, and a complete audit trail for insurance compliance. 

We go beyond the basics by integrating our inspections with rapid deployment security options. Where needed, we can supplement physical checks with solar-powered CCTV towers, motion sensors or perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDs), ensuring 24/7 surveillance and immediate response to threats. If our team detects an issue—such as broken windows, unauthorised access or dumped waste—PROTECT’s in-house cleaning and maintenance crews can act swiftly to resolve it, restoring your site’s safety and compliance without delay. 

PROTECT’s Vacant Property Inspections are trusted by leading FM and property management firms for their thoroughness, transparency and reliability. With a single partner handling security checks, reporting and remedial works, you save time, reduce hassle and lower total costs. Our service is available UK-wide, and is fully customisable to the needs of councils, landlords, corporate property teams and portfolio managers. Choose PROTECT for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to vacant site management—and keep your assets protected and ready for what’s next.
