Managing vacant properties

Managing vacant properties can be a complex and challenging task. Ensuring these unoccupied properties are maintained, secured and ready for new occupants requires expertise and efficiency. ULPS, specialises in handling both minor and major voids, offering comprehensive services tailored to meet the needs of the social housing sector.

Major void: Any vacant property that requires the replacement of major components such as the kitchen, bathroom, windows or heating system, or major works from gas safety checks, asbestos work and energy upgrades to structural, roofing, and external repairs.

Minor void: Any vacant property that does not require the replacement of major components.
