Scheduled Checks for Vacant Properties
When a property is left unoccupied, forced entry, damage, leaks and changes around the site can go unnoticed. Scheduled inspections give owners, landlords and property managers a clearer record of the condition of commercial and residential properties while they remain empty.
Before visits begin, Intraguard can confirm the inspection areas, access instructions, reporting contacts and escalation process for the property.

- Authorised internal checks
- Agreed doors, windows, gates and access points

What a Vacant Property Inspection Can Include
Each visit follows the checklist agreed for the property. The scope can include external checks, authorised internal checks, agreed access points, visible signs of damage, utility concerns and changes around the site.
The inspection requirements should be confirmed before visits begin so officers know which areas they are authorised to access and what should be included in the report.
Service points
- External property and perimeter checks
- Internal checks where authorised
- Agreed doors, gates, windows and access points
- Visible signs of damage or forced entry
- Visible leaks and utility concerns
- Meter readings where included in the inspection scope
- Photographs where agreed
- Accumulated post, fly tipping and visible site changes
- Notification and escalation under agreed instructions
How Vacant Property Inspection Frequency Is Agreed
Inspection frequency should reflect the property risk, expected vacant period and any conditions in your insurance policy. Intraguard does not determine the inspection frequency required by your insurer.
Confirm the required schedule and supporting evidence with your insurer or broker. Intraguard can then arrange visits around those instructions, subject to location, access arrangements and officer availability.
Vacant Property Inspection Reporting
Inspection reports can record the visit date, areas checked, visible findings, photographs where included, contacts notified and any action taken under the agreed escalation process.
Reporting requirements should be confirmed before the inspection schedule begins so the format, recipients and expected level of detail are clear.
Inspections by SIA Licensed and BS 7858 Vetted Officers
Vacant property inspections are carried out by SIA licensed and BS 7858 vetted officers who follow the access instructions, inspection checklist and reporting route agreed for the property.
Intraguard also holds ISO 9001:2015 at company level, alongside its other verified company accreditations.
Vacant Property Inspections for Commercial and Residential Buildings
Scheduled inspections are available for vacant offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial premises and residential properties across the UK, subject to access requirements and officer availability.
Inspections During Extended Vacant Periods
Scheduled inspections can support properties that are between tenancies, awaiting sale, undergoing refurbishment or expected to remain unoccupied for an extended period.
The longer a property remains unattended, the easier it becomes for damage, access issues or visible changes around the site to go unnoticed.
Inspection schedules can be discussed for:
- Properties between tenancies
- Buildings awaiting sale or redevelopment
- Commercial sites undergoing refurbishment
- Managed residential properties
- Single properties and multiple site portfolios
Inspection Records for Insurers and Property Teams
Insurance conditions for vacant properties vary between policies. Intraguard cannot confirm whether a particular inspection frequency or report format meets the conditions of your cover.
Confirm the required inspection schedule and evidence with your insurer or broker. Intraguard can then arrange visits and reporting around those confirmed instructions.
Reports can support your property records by showing:
- When the inspection took place
- Which agreed areas were checked
- What visible issues were found
- Who was notified
- What action was taken under the agreed process
