In film, television, and commercial production, the right location can elevate a project from ordinary to exceptional. Production companies are always searching for spaces that bring scripts to life, work within budget, and meet practical requirements. That’s where Blue Door Property Guardians come in.
We’re Nearly There - Help Us Finish the Helios Centre!
Blue Door Property Guardians is proud to support the refurbishment of the new Helios Centre in Holborn.
The Helios Centre has supported people living with HIV for decades. Now they're completing a modern, energy-efficient permanent home — but they can’t finish without you!
Production companies are constantly searching for filming locations that fit their creative vision, budget, and logistical needs. With our diverse portfolio of properties, we’re frequently approached by production teams looking to match unique features of a location with a director’s concept or script — whether that’s a period home, a contemporary office, an industrial setting, or a striking natural landscape.
Our latest collaboration is with the global creative agency Leagas Delaney, supporting the Royal British Legion’s powerful multichannel charity campaign, “On Your Street.” This project shines a light on the everyday lives of British Armed Forces veterans, capturing moving stories of those living within our communities.
We are now encouraging guardians to leave reviews on Trustpilot. These testimonials play a vital role in helping prospective residents understand what it’s like to live in a Blue Door property, while also offering valuable insights that support the organisation’s continuous improvement.
At Blue Door Property Guardians, we believe that a home is more than just four walls - it’s about the people you share it with. One of the biggest benefits of property guardianship isn’t just affordable living in unique spaces, but the strong sense of community it fosters. In a world where connection can sometimes feel distant, guardianship offers a chance to be part of something bigger.
As we mark Empty Homes Week 2025, it is vital to shine a light on the growing issue of vacant properties across the UK. Currently, nearly 700,000 homes sit empty and unfurnished, with over 265,000 classed as long-term vacant. When factoring in holiday lets and second homes, the total exceeds one million - meaning that approximately one in every 25 homes is unoccupied.
According to the latest Home Office Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics, emergency services attended 153,314 fires in total last year. That’s roughly 420 fires a day across the UK, 60 of which are reported to have happened in or next to vacant properties.
If you own or manage property you have a liability in law to prevent and protect the property from fire, whether it is vacant or not. So, in this article, we’ve put together everything you need to know to keep your asset, and any visitors or nearby properties, safe from the risk of fire and arson.
Owning or maintaining a vacant property can be very expensive. Traditional security fees and maintenance costs alone can leave the landlord with a large bill to pay, however, there are also plenty of unexpected costs that can come as a nasty surprise. Not ideal while the building is empty and making no revenue. We’ve identified the 3 main costs that often catch landlords out and provided some simple solutions to help you avoid paying them.
