Vacant Property Checks

By using Oxford Security Services’ Vacant Property Checking Service you can ensure that you have continuous oversight of the condition of your building/buildings and can take pre-emptive action to mitigate threats to the integrity and security of the building.

By investing in a regular Vacant Property Check by our SIA trained officers we can help assess possible problems, recommend corrective action, and preserve the property’s value.

Both residential and commercial customers, our vacant property inspections services can provide a significant cost saving in identifying potentially critical issues. Vacant property checks usually include…

Exterior checks: Inspecting exterior of property to check on building security integrity, attempted intrusions, build-up of rubbish, land and garden maintenance, and any potential hazards to the public
Utility checks: Gas, Water and Electric meter readings will be recorded along with photographic evidence on each visit
Interior checks: Inspecting interior of premises for evidence of intruders and any essential maintenance required to prevent damage to the property i.e. wind & water tight, no leaks or infestation
Your property inspector will keep a permanent record: A log of every property risk inspection to be maintained
Detailed Reports will be generated on all visits

Oxford Security Services can also provide additional services to help enable the integrity of your vacant property. To find out more see here

Temporary Intruder Alarms for Vacant Property Protection

Vacant properties and construction sites require more than a basic alarm system. They demand fast deployment, reliable detection, and verified response. Our temporary intruder alarm solutions are specifically designed to protect void properties, estates, farms, outbuildings, and at-risk sites where traditional security methods fall short.

With wireless installation, off-grid power, and video verification, you can clearly distinguish between genuine threats and false alarms — saving time, cost, and unnecessary call-outs.

Advanced Wireless Security for High-Risk & Remote Sites

We provide industry-leading wireless video verification systems, including Reconeyez, RSI Videofied, and OSS Ajax, engineered for environments with limited power or connectivity.

Vacant residential properties
Vacant commercial buildings and industrial units
Construction sites and development land
Farms, estates, and remote outbuildings
High-risk or repeat-target locations
