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 Thaxted, Essex, finding the time to personally inspect every vacant building is rarely realistic, particularly when balanced against an already demanding workload. Oltec 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.

Oltec FM only employs trained, vetted and licensed security professionals, ensuring every inspection is carried out to the highest possible standard.
