Vacant Property Squatter Eviction
Squatters occupying your property can be very costly and inconvenient, often harassing neighbours, acting inconsiderately and with little regard for the law.
Squatter Removal
You need to act quickly once you find squatters in your premises. Peaceful persuasion is one approach, but often fails, especially if the squatters have nowhere else to move to. You should never use or threaten forcible removal – or you could end up with a criminal record! It is also advisable to take someone along as an eye-witness – to disprove any false claims against you.
Swift Legal Action
Our experienced Squatter Removal Team is fully au-fait with the legal process and optimal timings, enabling them to obtain interim possession orders more quickly on your behalf, pending a judge’s decision to grant a full possession order. The rules are strict when it comes to serving papers and notices on the squatters – it is easy to fall fowl of the rules regarding timings of serving papers. That’s where we help. In taking the right steps and actions in the right order and at the right time.
Prevention Better Than Cure
Squatters have deviant ways to gain access to buildings – so proper security of vacant properties is essential to safeguard your investment. Vacant premises attract higher insurance premiums for landlords, so you should consult your insurers about measures they require you to take take when your properties are vacant. They may insist on regular inspections to check the integrity of the property. SecureSite UK carries out inspections of properties in accordance with insurers’ requirements and provides you with a full report of its status or possible weaknesses in its security. Many landlords are now hiring SecureSite UK’s “Stealth Alarm” for vacant periods – a unique monitoring system that sits and waits silently and inconspicuously in vacant properties – until triggered! Then it immediately and silently alerts a uniformed patrol officer to attend to the site. With detectors for intrusion, fire and flood – you have the peace of mind your vacant property is being monitored round the clock. As it has its own power and GSM communication system – it is perfect for properties with services cut off or remote sites.
Security Screens & Fencing Off Land
Temporary steel screens provide the ultimate deterrent for squatters for vacant properties, whilst the integrity of land is best maintained by forming an impenetrable barrier to illegal access, by the erecting a temporary fence or by strategically placed concrete barrier blockades. With a full range of security barriers and fencing systems at our disposal – call us to carry out a site visit on your property or land. We would also recommend regular security patrols.
