How we help

Vacant property inspection services you can rely on

Trust RelyOn with your vacant property security and keep your site safe. Our inspectors set up security systems and routinely inspect your site for signs of intrusion or maintenance issues.

On-site and security alarm monitoring

RelyOn provides end-to-end security for your peace of mind. Windows and doors are boarded to keep trespassers out, while CCTV, alarms and fencing are installed for complete security. Off-site, you can link your alarm monitoring station to our 24/7 Control Room for ongoing monitoring and security.

 

If an incident occurs, our team is mobilised immediately to resolve issues efficiently and effectively.

Proactive property management

Our trained inspectors recognise minor issues that could escalate into major ones. Most important are signs of tampering, which could indicate trespassers are targeting your vacant property. We also identify maintenance issues and read meters to save you time and money.

Scheduled property visits

Ensure your site remains secure and in your hands, not trespassers. Our team conducts regular visits to assess the property’s condition, identifying risks and making certain it’s well maintained in between tenants. Rest easy and give yourself peace of mind with RelyOn protecting your premises.

Detailed reporting

RelyOn provides regular communication so you understand the exact state of your property. We deliver comprehensive reports on its condition, including photographic evidence and detailed notes about any concerns. Rest assured you will have necessary proof to take further action or if necessary, file a claim.

Interior and exterior assessments

Stay up to date about your property’s condition with regular inspections, covering both the interior and exterior. Our team reports issues like broken windows, damaged roofs or overgrown landscaping to keep you informed. If you have questions, we’re here to provide clear answers so you never feel out of touch.

Security system checks

Keep criminal activity off your property with thorough security inspections. Locks, alarms and lighting systems are all checked to ensure your security functions as it should.

 

If a malfunction is discovered, our team resolves the issue promptly. Before leaving, we ensure we’ve taken every protective measure to safeguard your property.

Pest and rodent monitoring

Avoid damage and health risks from pest infestations. Our inspectors search for signs of rodents, scanning for droppings, nests or gnaw marks. We also check for signs of seasonal pests like ants or wasps. By addressing infestations early, we keep your property compliant and safe.

Maintenance recommendations

Keep your property value high and your site maintained with timely repair and upkeep suggestions. Our inspectors are trained to identify small issues that could develop into larger ones, such as water damage or mould. Our findings are documented and communicated, giving you the opportunity to take action.

Access control

Lower the chance that thieves, vandals or squatters could settle in. Our inspection team conducts a thorough review of the premises to identify vulnerabilities, securing doors, windows and gates. These actions stop unauthorised access and help keep your property secure and free from unwanted intruders.

Compliance verification

Ensure your property stays covered by insurance and remains compliant with a scheduled vacant property inspection. Our crew checks the entire premises for infestations, fire issues and other concerns. We ensure local regulations are met, helping you avoid expensive fines or lapses in insurance coverage.

Why vacant property inspections are essential

A vacant property inspection allows you to set up security to deter intruders while preserving the value of your site.

Inspections also ensure compliance with regulators or insurers. We can adapt our approach to meet any bespoke reporting system request.
