Vacant Property Security Cost is an independent site and free introduction service operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd; we pass your details to vacant property security providers who quote you directly. We may receive a fee from providers; you pay nothing and are under no obligation. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Security Industry Authority or any body named on this site, we are not insurance advisers and we recommend no insurance product. Nothing here is insurance or legal advice, and we publish cost drivers rather than invented prices because empty buildings are priced per opening, per unit, per hour and per visit.
