Vacant property services
Handover and Project Completion Handover
Following the completion of any project, ensuring an effective handover to client or take over from contractors can be a very important but not always feasible for a member of staff to assign an entire day to this. GRC Group offer a service in which our vacant property team can attend in the stead of our client to takeover a property and compile a report detailing all the relevant information for the ongoing support of a property.
This can site visit can include:
- Meter locations and initial readings, along with how to access them.
- Fire panel testing procedure and test schedule.
- Emergency lighting testing procedure and test schedule.
- Site access codes and tips/tricks/knacks for access on older properties.
- Switch-off of unnecessary electrical systems whilst property is vacant.
- Draining of water systems and isolating water supply.
- Sealing letterbox and removal for shredding of any leftover mail/flammables.
- Elevator movement schedule to prevent cable damage.
- Overview images showing the unit/premises.
- Locksmith attendance to change locks.
The service is tailored to client requirements and is designed to reduce the overall input required for maintenance of a property that may be vacant for some time. This is coupled with gathering information on maintenance schedules and the relevant contractors for those pieces of equipment/systems.
This service can also help to reduce the burden on clients when taking over a previously tenanted unit. By providing locksmith services, replacement gate locks, CCTV and clearance services, the unit can be left in a suitable state to await viewings or a new tenant.
