Think Vacant Property Inspection from a Distance is Impossible?

Vacant property inspection is a hands-on responsibility. For this reason, many security companies nationwide struggle to offer their clients comprehensive empty property protection across the UK. This was the challenge faced by a Manchester-based security firm.

Their client’s derelict factory site in Birmingham was in dire need of void property inspections to ensure vacant commercial property security.

Thankfully, partnering with Dynamic Security Services enabled them to:

• Provide peace of mind for their client
• Expand their service offering

The Challenges Caused by Lack of Vacant Property Inspection

A security firm based in Manchester was approached by their client to secure empty property in Birmingham. The premises had been set on fire in the past, and continued to be vandalised, with evidence of break-ins, rough sleepers, and general dilapidation.

But the security firm lacked the local resources for a dedicated on-site presence in Birmingham.

Ideally, they needed a Midlands-based partner to provide the same level of expertise and reliability they were known for, to carry out vacant property inspection services and help with ongoing squatter, vandalism, and break-in prevention.
