Vacant Property Inspections

Vacant Property Inspections

Vacant properties are at significantly higher risk of theft, vandalism, fire, and unauthorised access. Without regular monitoring, even a short period of vacancy can lead to costly damage, insurance issues, and project delays.

Coast Services provides professional Vacant Property Inspection (VPI) services designed to protect unoccupied buildings, land, and developments—ensuring they remain secure, compliant, and fully monitored at all times.

Our inspections are tailored to meet insurance requirements, giving you peace of mind that your property is being checked in line with policy conditions and industry best practice.

We work with construction companies, developers, property managers, and asset owners across the UK, delivering reliable inspections on a schedule that suits your needs.

What Our VPI Service Includes

  • Internal and external property inspections
  • Perimeter and access point checks
  • Identification of damage, forced entry, or suspicious activity
  • Monitoring of fire risks, water leaks, and safety hazards
  • Lock and unlock services where required
  • Detailed reporting with time-stamped photographic evidence
  • Immediate escalation of any issues identified

Why Vacant Property Inspections Matter

Unoccupied properties can quickly become targets. Regular inspections:

  • Deter trespassers, theft, and vandalism
