In the realm of real estate, vacant properties can prove to be quite a headache for owners. Whether awaiting renovation, pending sale, or simply experiencing a gap between tenants, these spaces often sit idle, incurring maintenance and security costs without generating any income. However, there’s a smart solution that savvy property owners are turning to: property guardianship.

At Global Guardians, we specialise in providing property guardianship solutions that benefit both property owners and the community. Our unique approach not only safeguards vacant properties but also maximises their potential, turning them from burdens into valuable assets. Let’s explore how property guardianship can help owners make the most out of their investments.

1. Cost-Effective Security

One of the primary concerns for owners of vacant properties is security. Empty buildings are vulnerable to vandalism, squatting, and other forms of damage. Traditional security measures such as alarms and CCTV systems can be expensive to install and maintain. Property guardianship offers a cost-effective alternative.

By placing carefully vetted guardians in your vacant properties, you not only deter unauthorised access but also ensure that the premises are occupied and cared for. Guardians act as a visible presence, deterring potential trespassers and providing an early warning system for any issues that may arise. This proactive approach to security can save property owners significant sums in the long run.

2. Property Maintenance

Vacant properties require regular maintenance to prevent deterioration and ensure they remain in good condition. However, hiring contractors or property management companies to perform this upkeep can be costly. Global Guardians can help shoulder this responsibility.

As part of our agreement, we will provide reactive maintenance for the properties we secure as well as carry out any initial works to bring the place to a habitable standard. Additionally, having guardians on-site allows for prompt identification and resolution of any maintenance issues, preventing them from escalating into more significant problems.

3. Flexible Use of Space

Property guardianship allows property owners to maintain the initial use of the space. So if you’re vacant property is intended for office space, it will not need to go through any changes in order to be inhabited by property guardians. 

This means that as soon as the space is required to be returned, you can immediately begin using it for it’s intented purpose. As well as that, property guardianship means the space will be returned in the same, if not better condition, and within 30 days of the initial notice. 

4. Contribution to Community

Beyond the financial benefits, property guardianship also offers owners the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the community. By placing guardians in vacant properties, owners can help address the issue of housing shortages and provide affordable accommodation to individuals who might otherwise struggle to find suitable housing.

Global Guardians carefully selects guardians who are committed to being responsible occupants and contributing members of the community. This not only enhances the reputation of the property but also fosters a sense of social responsibility among owners.

Conclusion

In conclusion, property guardianship offers a win-win solution for owners of vacant properties. By entrusting their spaces to responsible guardians, owners can enjoy cost-effective security, efficient property maintenance, flexible use of space, and a positive impact on the community. At Global Guardians, we’re committed to helping property owners maximise their investments while simultaneously addressing pressing societal needs.
