   Prospective Property Guardians - why choose a PGPA member? 

  • know that the building you occupy meets safety and standards regulations - only PGPA members are required to subject properties they manage to independent audits carried out by Fire Officers, whose report is sent to the PGPA  

  • your fees and payments are kept safe

  • a genuine independent redress scheme non-members cannot offer

So what now? If you want to find out more about becoming a property guardian, or securing your property - commercial, residential or a public building - contact any PGPA member:

Question:
What do you do when you have a cost-of-living crisis, and...
1. There are 600,000 properties sitting empty
and 
2. There are a million+ people seeking more affordable acommodation?

Answer:
If you are the government or a local authority, you encourage 'meanwhile use' for temporarily vacant properties to be kept secure and provide affordable, safe accommodation. Simple.
So please, if you are a local authority, or in the Department for Levelling up, Communities and Housing, stop prevaricating, get Planning, Housing, Security and Economy officers on the same page, and make it happen.


More vacant properties secured by guardians means:

  • Less vandalism, graffitti, and the chance of squatters - local authorities save ££££s on environmental/clean-up costs

  • The provision of more affordable living accommodation

  • Local businesses will benefit from a building occupied by guardians than if it was sitting empty
