Vacant Property Security

Protecting What’s Left Behind Until It’s Ready Again

Empty buildings are easy targets for vandalism, theft, squatting, and arson. Whether it’s a residential property awaiting sale, a commercial unit under renovation, or a public sector asset temporarily out of use vacant properties need protection.

At A&R Security Consultancy, we provide tailored, cost effective vacant property security solutions across Scotland to ensure your asset stays safe, secure, and compliant.

 

Why Vacant Property Security Is Essential

Unoccupied sites face unique risks:

• Break-ins and metal theft

• Vandalism and anti social behaviour

• Squatters and unauthorised occupancy

• Fires, leaks, or structural damage left unnoticed

• Higher insurance premiums or invalidated cover

 

We mitigate these threats through professional, visible, and responsive protection.
