Property Guardians
What is a Property Guardian?

A Property Guardian is someone who house sits commercial and residential property while paying a very low rent.

Why do buildings need looking after? Many buildings in Europe remain empty for many months before a sale or redevelopment takes place and during that time they can be a target for criminal activity. Security is costly but by using a Property Guardian company, property owners get security at a fraction of the cost of traditional services.

Where does the cocept originate? The idea was founded by students in the Netherlands who started a company called Ad Hoc in 1990 (www.adhoc.eu). Today this service can be seen all over Europe with many different companies and it is a prime example of how commercial companies can actually benefit from meeting a social need (the need for low cost accomodation), while receiving low cost security for their estate.
