Strategic Protection for Vacant Assets

Vacant properties bleed capital. Empty homes and commercial buildings are highly vulnerable to squatters, undetected leaks, and rapid physical deterioration. Crucially, standard home insurance policies become invalid after just 30 days of vacancy.

Evestaff provides a sophisticated, corporate alternative to boarding up your asset. We supply rigorously vetted Property Custodians to live on-site, as well as rapid-response compliance inspections. We maintain your insurance validity, deter criminality, and keep the property auction-ready at a fraction of traditional security costs.

Cost Mitigation: The Evestaff Advantage

When dealing with probate properties or assets awaiting auction, risk mitigation is paramount. We offer tailored fixed fees that deliver substantial savings over traditional vacant property management:

Our Tailored Asset Protection Services

Every vacant asset requires a different level of governance. Evestaff offers transparent, competitive fixed-fee structures based entirely on your property type and requirements.

1. Live-in Property Custodian (Long-Term Security)

Bespoke Fixed-Fee Structure (Available for Residential & Commercial Assets)

Designed for properties in probate, awaiting sale, or pending planning permission. We place a strictly vetted working professional to live in the property under a Non-Exclusive Licence to Occupy. Includes 24/7 active deterrence, daily ventilation, mail collection, and emergency leak reporting. (Subject to a 30-day minimum term and symmetrical 28-day notice period. Invoiced monthly in advance).

2. Void Property Insurance Inspections (Short-Term Compliance)

Fixed Rate per Visit

Designed for void properties requiring strict legal compliance without a live-in presence. Many insurers legally mandate physical inspections every 7 to 14 days to maintain coverage. Includes a thorough internal and external inspection, meter readings, and a time-stamped digital report submitted directly to your solicitors or asset managers for insurance auditing.

3. Asset Access & Viewing Chaperone

Hourly or Half-Day Block Rates

Designed to eliminate administrative friction for auction houses and estate agents. An Evestaff professional will attend the vacant asset, prepare it for presentation, unlock all necessary areas, chaperone buyers or surveyors to protect the property, and completely secure the building upon exit.
