We offer a one-stop solution for all your property protection needs. Our highly cost-effective approach gives you complete peace of mind, whether you choose live-in Guardians, Smart Alarm systems, mobile CCTV Towers or manned security services such as Guards, Patrols and Caretakers.
All our Guardians are carefully selected and vetted in accordance with Right-to-Rent. They are key workers, working professionals and mature students. Most are aged 25 – 35. We have a very high re-housing rate, ensuring that our Guardians have proven themselves to be reliable and responsible. They are not tenants but responsible people living in your vacant property as a security solution. The short notice period ensures that your property will be handed back to you in just 31 days.
Ad Hoc has its own in-house maintenance department. This means that you can be assured that action is taken quickly and adequately should a technical problem arise in any of the properties managed by us. We are Safe Contractor quality and SSIP accredited which sets out our standards for safe working, necessary PPE, materials to be used, working at heights and working with hazardous substances or asbestos.
Maintenance issues are reported by Guardians to Ad Hoc, who in return will then report essential maintenance issues to the property owner.
The legal structure is straightforward; The owner of the building signs an Authorisation Agreement that authorises Ad Hoc to grant a Licence to Occupy a living space to the Property Guardian.
This differs from a typical short-hold tenancy because the Guardian and Ad Hoc can terminate the Licence Agreement with a 28 days’ notice period. Ad Hoc is required to work within the legislation set out in the Protection from Eviction Act 1977. No tenancy rights are granted to either Ad Hoc or the Guardian.

Ad Hoc partners with major UK insurance providers for tailor-made liability insurance for its Guardians.
We require just 31 days’ notice to hand back your property to you. On receipt of your notice, we issue notices to the Guardians living in your property. Where possible, we will relocate to another Ad Hoc property. On the agreed date and time, one of Ad Hoc’s staff will meet you on-site to hand back the property.
As one of the founding members of the Property Guardian Providers Association we are dedicated to improving standards within the industry. The Association has established a formal constitution which sets a benchmark for the legal obligations of management companies and property owners, as well as a service quality covenant to Guardians. To become a member, companies must not only meet the criteria as defined in the constitution, they are also subject to an annual audit of their services and procedures.

The team at Ad Hoc are professional and responsive from the outset with how they conduct their services. They conduct meetings and update us with emails regularly. They provide an amazing service. They give you exactly what you want and so much more. Even Guardians, if people are looking for somewhere temporary to live, it is Ad Hoc’s service which I would recommend.
