Property Guardian Protection

So, you’re thinking about becoming a property guardian. What should you actually know before you move in? 👀

Property guardianship is a little different from your standard rental. You could find yourself living in a former office, school, pub or other vacant building while it waits for its next chapter.

Sounds pretty interesting, right? But different also means different rules, costs and responsibilities.

We’ve rounded up 5 things worth knowing before you make the move. Swipe through, do your homework and make sure guardianship is the right setup for you.

We love seeing how our guardians make their PGP spaces their own. 👀

From statement artwork to cosy corners and everything in between, every space has its own personality.

Communal spaces are about more than just sharing a building. They’re about creating a sense of community. 🏡

At PGP, we believe having spaces where guardians can come together, socialise and get to know one another is so important. Whether it’s a shared kitchen, a lounge or somewhere to unwind, these areas create opportunities for connections that go beyond simply living under the same roof.

Because feeling at home is about more than having your own space. It’s about the people you share it with.

For us, good property guardianship is about more than providing somewhere to live. It’s about doing things properly and making sure our guardians feel supported throughout their time with us.

✓ No hidden or admin fees
We believe in being upfront about costs, so there are no unexpected admin fees or hidden charges.

✓ Clear communication
From the start, we aim to keep things straightforward, transparent and easy to understand.

✓ Safe, suitable properties
We carefully consider the properties we place guardians in, making sure they are suitable for guardianship and meet the right standards.

✓ Supporting our guardians
Our guardians are at the heart of what we do. We’re here to provide support and keep communication open throughout their time with us.

✓ Giving empty buildings a purpose
We help put empty and unused buildings back into use, while providing guardians with unique places to live.

These are the things that matter to us, and what makes PGP different.

What makes a place feel like home?

It’s not always about the postcode.

Sometimes it’s having the space to make a place your own. Your furniture, your style, your routines and all those little things that make a property feel like it belongs to you.

That’s one of the things we love about property guardianship. It can give you the opportunity to live somewhere with character, while creating a home that actually feels like yours.

What’s the one thing that makes your place feel like home?

Empty buildings don’t stay empty for long.

Without the right care, vacant properties can quickly become vulnerable to damage, deterioration and security risks.

For property owners, guardianship can be one way to keep a building occupied, protected and looked after.
