Stewardship that ensures your vacant property never feels unattended
VACANT PROPERTY SERVICES

We carry out scheduled, discreet inspections of your property to ensure it remains in excellent condition throughout any period of absence. Each visit includes a comprehensive internal and external check, identifying any signs of maintenance issues, damp, leaks, or wear before they escalate. You receive clear, concise reporting and complete peace of mind that your home is being actively looked after.

We provide a secure, professionally managed keyholding service, ensuring controlled and traceable access to your property at all times. Entry is granted only to trusted, pre-authorised personnel, whether for inspections, maintenance, or contractor works. This removes the burden of coordination while maintaining absolute security and accountability.
-
Your property is supported by robust, layered security oversight designed to deter risk during vacancy. This includes regular checks, coordination with alarm and CCTV systems where applicable, and monitoring of access points and surroundings. Our approach is proactive, discreet, and focused on maintaining a lived-in sense of presence even when the home is unoccupied.

We can manage all incoming correspondence with care, ensuring important mail is securely received, reviewed, and forwarded according to your preference. Alongside this, we oversee bill payments and utility administration, maintaining full continuity across household services. All financial and administrative details are tracked clearly, giving you a seamless, organised overview without the day-to-day burden.

From minor maintenance issues to urgent repairs, we coordinate swift, effective solutions through a network of trusted specialists. Our team acts as your first point of contact, diagnosing issues, arranging access, and overseeing works through to completion. This ensures your property remains fully operational, with minimal disruption and no need for your direct involvement.

Prior to your return, your home is carefully prepared to ensure it feels immediately comfortable, refreshed, and ready to occupy. This includes detailed cleaning, airing of rooms, systems checks, and optional personal preferences such as lighting, temperature, and essential provisions. Every detail is considered so your arrival feels seamless and effortless.
How We Work
A vacant property has a particular kind of silence to it. Whether a pied-à-terre in the city, a second home abroad, or an investment held for the future, absence can reveal itself in small issues, air that no longer quite circulates as it should, in details that begin to loosen at the edges.
Franklin London provide ongoing oversight of homes that are not currently lived in, ensuring they remain not only secure, but cared for. Interiors are monitored with care for climate and condition; cleaning is carried out with precision rather than routine; maintenance is approached before it becomes visible. Security is not just a feature, but a constant thread running through everything.
It is a simple monthly arrangement, but one that holds a property in its proper state. When you return, the intention is not just that the house is as you left it, but that it feels prepared for you, as though it has been waiting for you.
