Insurance Company Requirements
Many insurance companies require regular Vacant Property Inspections to make sure the building is maintained and secure in line with the policy.
The failure to quickly identify damage and potential risk can lead to claims being rejected. Vacant property inspections ensure these risks are reduced in addition to meeting policy stipulations.
We supply full reports and photographic evidence of all inspections made.
In many cases, the use of an approved security company to perform these checks will reduce premiums.

Removal of unknown persons

Squatting of residential properties was made illegal in 2012 but the squatting of commercial properties is not classed as a criminal offence. This means the risk is high that commercial properties will be targeted. The vacant property team at Shreeve can help you with prevention through consultation and solutions. If the worst-case happens and your property is occupied then swift knowledgeable action is needed.
The Shreeve Protection team has a track record of successfully removing unauthorised trespassers such as; squatters, antisocial gatherings, unauthorised encampments. It is not always necessary to follow the route through the courts as there remain legal and compliant methods of removal that can offer far more cost effective and timely actions. We will work with you to identify the necessary action and whether this is representative removal or full-court enforcement we will be able to assist.
