Empty buildings need eyes on them. SmartGuard Security carries out vacant property inspections that spot leaks, trespass and faults before they turn costly. Authorised internal and external checks are completed with meter readings and photos where relevant. Reports are issued promptly so you can show insurers that conditions were maintained. Frequency is set by risk and policy - weekly to monthly is typical, with ad hoc visits added during storms, holidays or contractor works.

How our inspections work

We agree a checklist in advance, including internal walkthroughs where keys are provided, perimeter sweeps, meter reads and simple housekeeping items. Findings are recorded clearly with any hazards flagged for action.

What is included

Scheduled visits, agreed checklists, photos where appropriate and a same day digital report. Optional key holding allows safe, controlled internal access.

Where this service helps most

Void residential blocks, empty retail units, offices awaiting fit out and sites pending sale or redevelopment. Common searches include void property inspections, empty building checks and vacant site visits.

Reporting and reassurance

Time stamped notes and photo evidence provide a clean history for insurers and asset managers. The straightforward language also helps answer engines surface the right result.
