Why Vacant Properties Need Professional Security Inspections
Across the UK, an increasing number of properties are sitting vacant for extended periods, leaving them exposed to vandalism, illegal occupation and the unauthorised use of gas, electric and water supplies. Without a visible deterrent or regular inspection regime, these empty buildings quickly become attractive targets for squatters and youths looking for an easy way in. For property professionals managing multiple sites in London, finding the time to personally inspect every vacant building is rarely realistic, particularly when balanced against an already demanding workload. Oltec Facilities Management has built a comprehensive suite of void property inspection solutions to remove this pressure entirely. We work to ensure that the security and protection of every vacant property in your care is properly established and consistently upheld, reducing risk and protecting your investment around the clock.
SIA Licensed Security Officers Tailored to Your Schedule
One of our fully SIA licensed security officers will carry out a visit to your property or land at a frequency entirely of your choosing, checking and confirming that your site remains secure and safe from potential intruders or vandalism. Whether you require daily, weekly or monthly inspections, our team in London works flexibly around your specific requirements and the level of risk associated with each individual property. Oltec Facilities Management only employs trained, vetted and licensed security professionals, ensuring every inspection is carried out to the highest possible standard. We understand that no two vacant properties are the same, which is why our void property inspections are never a one size fits all service. Instead, we tailor every visit to the unique characteristics of your site, taking into account location, history and any specific concerns you may have, so you can trust that your property is in safe and capable hands.
Bespoke Void Property Inspection Services and Keyholding
Our void property inspection service is entirely bespoke, with options including full external perimeter inspections and access security checks, thorough internal property inspections to identify signs of intrusion, squatting or vandalism, and complete meter readings across gas, electric and water to confirm utilities remain unused and are not costing you or your clients unnecessary money. For property owners and managing agents based in London, we also provide secure keyholding services, holding your keys safely and responsibly for as long as required. The Oltec Group further supports site access visits by arrangement, attending the property to meet authorised individuals, opening up on their arrival and securing the building once they have left. Squatter and traveller security checks are also part of our standard offering, and we are always able to accommodate any other specific requirements you may have, ensuring complete flexibility and peace of mind throughout the void period.
Detailed Reports and Photographic Evidence on Every Visit
Every inspection and site access visit conducted by Oltec Facilities Management is accompanied by a full report outlining all findings from the visit, including extensive photographic coverage of every area inspected on site. This consistent, detailed reporting gives landlords and managing agents in London complete visibility over the condition and security of their vacant properties throughout the entire void period. Reports clearly detail any signs of intrusion, vandalism or squatting, alongside confirmation of gas, electric and water meter readings where applicable, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed or unrecorded. This level of transparency is central to how Oltec Facilities Management operates, providing you with the evidence and reassurance needed to manage your vacant property portfolio with confidence. Whether used for internal tracking, client updates or insurance purposes, our reporting process ensures you are always fully informed about the status of every property we inspect.
