Providing security through occupation for property assets across the UK and offering support to the housing crisis.

About us

Vacant properties are at significant risk from squatting, theft, and anti-social behaviour which can result in extensive damage, costly repairs, and cause concern to local communities if they are not kept properly secure. VPS Guardians can help remove these problems by introducing property Guardians to look after the building and prevent problems such as lead stripping, car park encampments, and break-ins. Property Guardians not only provide a visual deterrent to intruders, but they also look after the property which makes it easier to bring back into use as utilities remain on, and leaks or any building issues are spotted and can dealt with quickly. Before placing Guardians in the building, VPS complete a thorough inspection of the property and carry out all necessary work to ensure it complies with HMO legislation, usually, at no cost to the building owner. If required, we can install all welfare facilities, including kitchens and washing amenities, ensuring the whole process is taken care of, causing no disruption. Guardianship can also offer financial support to the property owner as in some cases, we can offer a rebate from the Guardian licence fee. Alongside this we can handle property management tasks, including maintenance and inspections, which relieves property owners of these responsibilities. Due to the ongoing housing crisis and the cost-of-living crisis in the UK, there are lots of local working people looking for affordable accommodation so using empty buildings to generate short-term living spaces creates more affordable homes and supports social value in communities. Our property guardian protection provides occupation for all property types including residential, retail and office premises – for 3 months or longer.

    I am excited to share another case study with you for a commercial building we’ve been protecting with our Guardians in Bournemouth. The managing agent for this vacant commercial property in the town centre, approached us for a security solution as their building was vacant and they were exploring options. The building was open plan but had 6 offices with a kitchen and bathroom spaces, so with a small number of adaptations, carried out at no cost to the owner, we were able to make the property suitable for Guardians. The Guardians have been in situ for 6 years and during that time there have been no ASB issues, the building remains in full certification, we carry out monthly inspections, and the property remains in full working order. If you’d like to discuss any aspect of the security by occupation method for protecting a property within your portfolio, please contact Joelle Nixon – VPS Guardians Business development manager for more information.   Email: Joelle.nixon@vpsgaurdians.com or call 07902 236 530 #VPSGuardians #Guardianship #SecurityByOccupation

    VPS Guardians have been supporting our client in Manchester city centre with security by occupation at this site since 2018. This listed building which is home to a restaurant on the ground floor, had its upper floors squatted, causing huge problems and court costs for the owners. Following the squatters removal, the owners decided to work with VPS Guardians to place 10 of our property guardians on the upper floors to prevent any further anti-social behaviour. As the building is listed, a close eye is kept on its use. Because of this we work closely with the owners and regularly inspect the building to ensure standards for its use are met and it is correctly presented. The future plan for this site is being worked on so by keeping up with the maintenance and having utilities on and running, the site will be easy to develop when the time comes. If you’d like to discuss any aspect of the security by occupation method for protecting a property within your portfolio, please contact Joelle Nixon – VPS Guardians Business development manager for more information.
