FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENTS
Squatting, theft, vandalism and arson are just some of the issues associated with having a vacant property. As building owners, you have a responsibility to ensure the safety and security of the property and LOWE can help with this. By placing LOWE’s well-vetted guardians within your property, it eliminates the possibility for any of these issues. Unlike security guards, which can cost over £10,000 per month, our guardian service costs neutral.
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. This is done through proving to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) that the building is being used for residential purposes rather than commercial purposes and we have a 100% success rate of achieving this. LOWE recently saved a client over £370,000 per annum for a 40,000sqft office building. It is also worth noting that this process does not change the use class of the property.
We have taken on the management of properties that have been very recently vacated through to properties that have been empty for 5 years. We will conduct an inspection of all types of property and provide a free consultation report with our recommendations on how best to protect your building. We will look at all properties on a case-by-case basis and will provide landlords with a bespoke report based on your circumstances and plans for the property.
