Service
Vacant-property facilities support for commercial and industrial sites
Vacant-property facilities management keeps an unoccupied commercial or industrial building in good order while it is empty — routine inspections, upkeep, cleaning, minor repairs, reactive coordination and statutory compliance support. Red & White Group provides this across the Midlands and the wider UK so a vacant unit stays presentable and ready for sale, re-letting or occupation.
Who this service is for
- Landlords holding empty units
- Managing agents with vacant stock
- Asset managers preparing units for market
- Occupiers still liable for a building they have left
Problems and trigger events
- A unit has been handed back and is now empty
- A property is being marketed for sale or re-letting
- Condition is deteriorating while the unit stands vacant
- Statutory checks still need coordinating
