As Property Guardianship is focussed on the security and protection of vacant property, it is essential that our Guardian selection and management processes adhere to our quality management system, which is externally audited.
If you would like to take advantage of the social and financial benefits that being a Global Guardian has to offer, and are thinking about applying for a property with us, here is what you need to know about the process, from start to finish.
A full health and safety inspection is completed by Global Guardians prior to any Guardian occupation. Any remedial works that need to be completed in order for the property to be in line with Statutory and Regulatory Compliance are carried out by our accredited contractors. The property is made clean and habitable for occupation including the installation of white goods in large commercial properties.
Guardian applicants register with us and then review our list of available spaces. Once they have selected a property that meets their requirements they are invited to view the property before being vetted using our Ideal Guardian Assessment. If an applicant passes the vetting process they are assigned to the property of their choice and are encouraged to move in within 5 days.
We will conduct monthly checks to ensure that the living space is maintained in good order, and that all Health and Safety requirements are in line with current Regulations. Our Guardians will receive monthly calls from us to ensure they have no issues or concerns. They will have access to our My Globe, system to raise any maintenance tickets. Guardians may choose a property with shared facilities meaning they will all have joint responsibility for maintaining the space.
When the owner of the property requires us to relinquish our management, we will serve our Property Guardians 28 days’ notice, in accordance with the Protection from Eviction Act 1977. Within this 28-day period, we will prioritise our Property Guardians for other living spaces, in order to provide them with alternative accommodation to move into once their notice period comes to an end.
