What is squatter prevention?

Squatter prevention in Forest Hill — proactive guarding, patrols, alarms and board-up that keep squatters out of your empty property.

In Forest Hill, our squatter prevention sits within a complete vacant property security offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. Vacant property security protects buildings that are empty between tenants, sales, development or probate. It combines physical measures (guarding, patrols, board-up) with electronic ones (CCTV, alarms) and regular documented inspections.
