Empty buildings are more than just wasted space, they’re a risk. For developers and investors, property guardianship can be a smart way to protect assets between projects: - Keeps buildings occupied and secure. - Reduces insurance and security costs. - Can even help delay or reduce CIL liability by keeping a property “in use” before redevelopment. - Maintains full control — guardians occupy under licence, not tenancy. That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Occupation is by far the most effective form of security, but it’s not always suitable for every site or stage of a project. That’s why it’s important to have other security measures in place, from alarms and cameras to on-site guards, before and after Guardianship, to keep assets protected throughout the property lifecycle. Here to help and share insights on safeguarding assets and mitigating risks. Fell free to get in touch.
