2 million void properties in the UK
With such a high number of void properties on the water market system in the UK, how can you check them all efficiently? Our network of hyper-local Shepherds are within 5 minutes of each location, meaning we can check any property, anywhere in person.
What we check
How we determine occupancy status
Using reports we build with you, with ongoing feedback from our Shepherds, we'll capture data and images to let you know which properties need action.
Presence of people
We'll check to see if there are people or even pets present at the property.
Evidence of people
We'll check for signs of occupancy: including cars, open windows and more.
Level of property maintenance
We'll report on how maintained the front of the property.
