General
This inactive industrial property is located on a main road axis in the Thessaloniki area, in a location designated as an industrial zone, and consists of three independent building volumes on a 16-stremma plot. Specifically, it comprises two large building volumes in which the main economic activity took place, each of which has three levels with a total area of 2.5 stremmas, while the third building volume is opposite the two aforementioned, measures 80 sq.m. and served as the guard’s residence. The plot borders unguarded industrial units and farmland around its perimeter.
Problem-Risks
Although the property as a whole is in the full ownership of a bank, in one of the two large buildings a significant part had been illegally occupied by the former owner, while the residence had been occupied and used as living quarters by illegal immigrants. Apart from being breaches of civil law, the above unlawful actions entail risks of significant and uncontrolled deterioration of the existing facilities through improper and unsuitable use, as well as risks of fire and destruction of property, since flammable materials (tyres, expanded polystyrene, etc.) lie around the perimeter of the buildings, dumped outdoors in a disorderly and unsuitable manner. Furthermore, any loss of health or life among the illegal occupants could give rise to civil liability for the current owner of the property.
Solution
By installing a suitable alarm and fire-safety system and monitoring the site through the 24/7 ARC “Dikleida”, our company repeatedly prevented unauthorised persons from re-occupying the site, reporting every attempt made to the competent law enforcement authorities, effectively protecting both the owner and the property, and thereby contributing decisively to preventing damage, malicious acts and vandalism. In this way the property’s high added value is preserved, since a potential future buyer would need to spend less to restore it to working condition.
