Vacant buildings come with hidden risks. When a property falls out of regular use, it doesn’t just sit idle – it begins to deteriorate. Security weakens, compliance lapses, energy systems degrade, and before long, asset value is lost.
At Swallow Site Services, we help clients avoid those risks through tailored, proactive vacant property management solutions – designed to keep unoccupied buildings secure, compliant, and ready for reactivation.
Why Vacant Properties Need More Than Lock-and-Leave
Whether it’s a site awaiting redevelopment, a recently vacated office, or a long-term portfolio void, unoccupied property can quickly become a liability.
Common challenges include:
- Water damage and weathering
- Break-ins, vandalism, or fly-tipping
- Missed inspections and statutory obligations
- Degrading infrastructure and increasing repair costs
That’s why we support property owners and FM providers with cost-effective, scalable services that protect what matters most: safety, compliance, and long-term asset value.
