Empty Property Security Measures - ALL landlords should take

When you own property that you wish to lease out for business use, you will at some time or other experience periods where your property will be standing empty. This can be the time between one business moving out, and another moving in, any time you have set aside for maintenance and repairs, or in preparation to sell on your commercial property. Having a building standing empty for any length of time will attract the attention of squatters and vandals, so it will pay you to have the best security systems you can afford in place during these times. There is no need to spend an absolute fortune of hi-tech security measures if your property really doesn’t warrant it. It may well be that all you need is a good set of passive security items to safeguard your property and prevent illegal entry from happening in the first place rather than an alarm system that sounds once a break-in has occurred. The sort of things you should consider could be steel security doors and safety windows that not only provide a visual deterrent for potential vandals, burglars and squatters, but also prevents the most determined of criminal from breaking in because of the strong physical barrier these measures give.
