Because vacant properties will attract anti-social behaviour, therefore if you have a vacant property you should ensure it is protected against any intruders.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, there were two very sad cases of children dying as a result of playing in unprotected\/ derelict vacant properties. This is a massive responsibility for property owners.<\/p>\n<p>Vacant properties are also open to risks such as illegal occupation (e.g. squatting), vandalism, drug use, metal theft, fire and fly-tipping, incurring expenses for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/our-services\/rubbish-and-waste-removal\/\">waste removal<\/a> services. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/vacant-property-security\/\">Vacant property specialists<\/a> can provide services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/our-services\/vacant-property-cleaning\/\">cleaning vacant properties<\/a> in these situations and prevent problems before they occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to new research, by a Government organisation, more than 11,000 homes across the country have been lying empty for longer than a decade.
