Think Vacant Property Security in Aston, Birmingham Without Local Presence is Impossible?

Lack of vacant property security posed an immediate threat for a Manchester-based company after completing an extensive renovation of its business premises in Aston, Birmingham. And they’re not alone.

Security for newly renovated business premises is a familiar dilemma, with valuable new fixtures at stake and, in their case, no Midlands presence to protect their investment.

So, they turned to Dynamic Security Services for weekly void property inspections. And the results extended way beyond standard key holding services.

In addition, they gained complete peace of mind and full compliance with insurance.

The Added Challenges of Vacant Property Security at Newly Renovated Sites

Vacant properties are always attractive targets for opportunistic trespassers and squatters. But the need for vacant property security is even greater when new fittings, materials and infrastructure enter the mix.

On top of this, the building remained exposed to unseen risks like leaks and environmental damage.

The Manchester client had no way of physically checking on the site, and no local security key holders to call on if something went wrong.

This gap could easily undermine both the renovation investment and compliance with insurance if they failed to proactively safeguard their assets.
