THE BENEFITS

Benefit 1

Security

Our Guardians act as a deterrent to squatters, theft and vandalism - the issues that threaten vacant buildings. We ensure that our Guardians are present daily within the building.

Benefit 2

Empty Business Rates

We have an understanding from the Valuation Office that when we place guardians into a commercial property we are able to mitigate the empty business rates into Council Tax. We have a 100% success rate of achieving this.

Benefit 3

Building Care

We take great care of the buildings we secure. This means fully fitting out the buildings to a habitable standard, managing the building on a 24/7 basis, as well as providing regular building maintenance checks.

Benefit 4

Insurance Premiums

We have a proven track record of helping clients make significant savings by lowering their insurance premiums.

Benefit 5

Cost Effective Solution

We cover the cost of the fit out of the building prior to Guardians taking occupation. Compared to traditional security methods, we offer property owners an extremely cost effective solution.

Benefit 6

Affordable Housing

We are passionate about providing affordable housing solutions to those who need it most. Rather than leaving a building empty, we offer our guardians the chance to live for less while supporting the local area.

"We have had a lot of experience with different Guardian companies and I would usually recommend caution. However, we’re now working closely with Lowe Guardians whose approach marks them out from the crowd. They are very professional and don’t cut any corners with regard to compliance and protection of their licencees. They also have much stricter vetting procedures than others out there, and their buildings are very well managed. When a guardian scheme works like this, it is a mutually beneficial solution for all involved, offering the building owners considerable savings."

- Tom Steele, Development Manager, Viewranks

"We have used LOWE Guardians' services on several occasions to safeguard our properties whilst they are awaiting planning permission. The LOWE Guardians team always act quickly and efficiently in placing guardians into our vacant buildings, managing the entire process from start to finish. Not only were our properties well looked after, but the team also dramatically reduced our empty rates liabilities. Based on our experience, without doubt, we'd be happy to recommend LOWE Guardians to other property owners in a similar situation."

- Simon Marshall, Development Director, Marston Properties
