Is your empty commercial property at risk?

Times have been hard over recent years and a lot of well-known brands have disappeared from our high streets as a result. It’s also been tough for smaller businesses – with everyone being a little less liberal with their credit cards, a lot of local stores and businesses have bitten the dust, replaced by ‘To Let’ signs, boarded up windows and derelict buildings.

As a landlord, with no rent coming in and the addition of business rates to pay, one of the first things you’re likely to do away with is your security provision. Think it’s the sensible thing to do when trying to protect your assets? Think again…

Criminals have their eyes open and ears to the ground – and when a commercial property is vacant, it’s harder to hide than with a domestic let. White goods, furniture, belongings in storage - anything you have in your commercial property is at risk.  Even if your office or building is empty, you’re still wide open to squatters breaking in and causing damage. And of course, it’ll be you who’s left to pick up the bill – especially if you want to rent your property out again sometime soon.
