Check the vulnerable points
Review the agreed doors, windows, boundaries and accessible areas.
Visibility between visits
Vacant property inspections
Understand what is happening at an unoccupied building before a small issue becomes a larger one.
A repeatable inspection, with a useful record.
A vacant property still needs attention. Access points, signs of entry, damage and the condition of the site can change between visits. Inspection requirements should follow the building, the risks and any instructions from the responsible property team.
Record changes
Keep a useful visit record and identify conditions that need attention.
Escalate what matters
Send concerns to the person responsible for the building or security response.
The specialist detail
An inspection needs a reliable record.
The agreed inspection route
List the accessible areas and observations included in the visit. Agree access, keys, lone-working arrangements and the reporting route before the first inspection.
Photographs with context
Where photographs form part of the report, connect them to a location, time and observation. Record the difference between a new issue and an item already awaiting action.
From finding to action
Forced-entry signs, leaks or damage need a defined escalation. Any emergency response, repair or specialist attendance should follow the client’s instructions and the agreed service scope.
Define these in the proposal
- Property and access information
- Inspection checklist
- Visit observations and photographs where agreed
- Escalation and outstanding-action record
What we plan with youFrom the discussion
From the discussion
to the delivery.
We agree the limits of access, areas to inspect and the observations required. Security inspections are distinct from a specialist building survey or statutory inspection. Where remote CCTV or a physical security presence is appropriate, those options can be assessed alongside the visits.
The delivery conversation
- Agreed inspection route and visit schedule
- Access and lone-working arrangements
- Visit observations and issue reporting
- Defined escalation for urgent findings

Talk to the teamCan inspections support a wider security plan?
Yes. Visits can sit alongside guarding, CCTV or alarm arrangements where the building assessment supports them.
Can the visit checklist reflect our requirements?
The checklist and reporting can be defined around the property team’s instructions and the agreed scope.
