Educational Property
Safeguarding Vacant Educational and School Buildings
Private schools and educational institutions often face periods of vacancy – during redevelopment or following closures and relocations.
These properties, rich in heritage and often in prime locations, can quickly become targets for vandalism and squatting.
VPS Guardians offer a discreet, professional solution: placing carefully vetted individuals to live in and care for your property. Our Guardians provide a visible, respectful presence that deters criminal activity and helps maintain the condition and reputation of your site. This approach is particularly well-suited to private schools, where preserving the integrity and appearance of the property is essential for future use or sale.
Whether your school is undergoing refurbishment, awaiting new ownership, or temporarily closed, VPS Guardians ensures it remains secure, compliant and well-maintained and ready for its next chapter.
