Why Vacant Properties Need Professional Security Inspections
The number of dormant properties across the UK has grown considerably in recent years, and with that growth comes a heightened risk of break-ins, vandalism and unauthorised utility use. Empty buildings are an easy target for squatters, trespassers and criminals looking to exploit a property with no visible presence or oversight. Landlords and managing agents in Oxford often find that visiting every vacant property on their books to carry out manual inspections is not only time consuming but also impractical given competing priorities. This is precisely where Oltec Facilities Management steps in, offering a complete range of vacant property inspection services built around your specific needs. We take full responsibility for the ongoing security and protection of your void properties, conducting regular checks so that issues are identified and addressed before they escalate into costly problems for you or your clients.
SIA Licensed Security Officers Tailored to Your Schedule
We deploy SIA licensed security officers to visit your property or land at a frequency chosen by you, ensuring your site is regularly checked and confirmed secure against intruders, vandalism or unauthorised access. Property professionals across Oxford benefit from this flexible model, which allows inspection schedules to be increased or reduced depending on changing circumstances or perceived risk levels. Oltec Services takes great care in recruiting and training its security personnel, with every officer fully licensed and experienced in conducting professional void property checks. Each visit follows a consistent, thorough process designed to identify any potential issues before they develop into larger problems. With Oltec Services handling your inspection frequency and scheduling, you retain full flexibility and control while benefiting from the expertise and reliability of a dedicated, professional security team.
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 Oxford, we also provide secure keyholding services, holding your keys safely and responsibly for as long as required. Oltec FM 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
Following every inspection or access visit, Oltec provides a comprehensive report detailing exactly what was found on site, supported by full photographic evidence of every area covered during the visit. For landlords and managing agents across Oxford, this thorough reporting process offers complete peace of mind, providing tangible proof that vacant properties are being properly monitored and maintained throughout the void period. Our reports are designed to be clear and easy to understand, outlining the condition of the property, any signs of intrusion, vandalism or unauthorised activity, and confirmation of meter readings where applicable. This level of detail not only supports your own internal record keeping but can also prove invaluable when dealing with insurers, clients or other stakeholders who require evidence of due diligence. With Oltec, you can be confident that every visit is fully documented and accounted for.
