Meet Your Deadlines

Our property services include a next-day decommissioning option with fixed charges, so you can be confident your deadlines and budgets are met.

A building is considered ‘unoccupied’ when either vacant or void or disused.

Insurers stipulate that if landlords have failed to fulfil the conditions of their insurance cover for unoccupied buildings then they will lose the right to indemnity or payment for that claim.

The second stipulation is that buildings must be decommissioned within 28 to 30 days of appointment or un-occupancy.
