In this episode of the Honest Property Podcast, hosts Becky and Ruth chat with Said, Head of Marketing at Live-in Guardians, about the power of property guardianship - a model that’s changing the game for both residents and property owners.
From turning empty buildings into vibrant communities to offering affordable, flexible housing for young people and creatives, guardianship is proving to be a win-win. Said shares how Live-in Guardians is raising standards in the industry, why community is at the heart of their work, and the simple process of becoming a guardian.
We also explore the benefits for property owners, from reduced costs to improved security — and the future of this unique housing solution.
