At Force 10 Property Management, we understand the difficulties faced by Landlords when trying to maintain and secure empty properties within their portfolio. To address these difficulties, we have designed a specific service which enhances the security of any empty or void property; this in turn naturally supports the marketing opportunities of any vacant property. In addition to the standard management of empty properties, we can carry out Risk Assessments to confirm the building is correctly secured and monitored. To support this, we can employ various methods to ensure the security profile of your property is sufficiently robust. These measures range from installing Force 10 Property Management security boards against all vulnerable windows and doors, right through to employing monitored video linked camera systems within areas of high risk.

We can supply a range of solutions to provide alarm and video link protection for empty and void properties. These systems operate on batteries and mobile phone networks, so need no power or phone line connections. All control equipment comes in super tough, waterproof and dustproof pelican cases. All systems can be either bought or hired; the option of hiring would appeal to Landlords who only require this level of security whilst the property is empty.

By maintaining and managing your empty property, it ensures that it stays in a lettable or saleable condition. Prompt attention to damage or crime will ensure that the 'broken window theory' can be exercised, thus sending a clear message that your assets are being looked after.

Broken Windows was the brainchild of the criminologists James Q. Wilson and George Kelling. They argued that crime is the inevitable result of disorder. If a window is broken and left unrepaired, people walking by will conclude that no one cares and no one is in charge. Soon, more windows will be broken, and the sense of anarchy will spread from the building to the street on which it faces, sending a signal that anything goes.
