Urban regeneration is a vital process in revitalising neglected areas, breathing new life into communities, and preventing urban blight. Among the many strategies employed to rejuvenate cities, property guardianship has emerged as a unique and increasingly popular approach. By placing responsible guardians in vacant properties, Blue Door Property Guardianship not only secures these buildings but also contributes significantly to the regeneration of urban areas.
Last year, we estimated that a vacant commercial property can cost upwards of £100,000/year to securely & adequately maintain. Money spent on security services, building maintenance fees and insurance premiums quickly add up. However, there is an effective & cheaper alternative – Property Guardianship. We’ve put together a few tips and tricks to help you spend less on your vacant property with the help of property guardians.
London (and the rest of the UK) is full of vacant properties that are expensive to maintain and difficult to protect. This growing problem is only getting worse as the British high street suffers from mass closures and offices consider permanent work from home scenarios. This is where property guardianship comes in. It’s a relatively modern solution that is gaining popularity amongst landlords who are looking for cheaper and more effective ways to protect their vacant properties. In this guide, we’ve summarised everything you need to know about what property guardianship is, why you should consider it, and how our zero-cost solution can help your business.
Our guardians provide live-in security in exchange for short-term accommodation. The temporary nature of the agreement makes some of the usual ‘nesting’ rituals, like knocking through walls with a sledge hammer, out of the question. But just because your accommodation is temporary doesn’t mean you can’t settle in. Inspired by the way our guardians quickly create cozy vibes, we’re sharing tips for making your temporary house a home.
