Why should we have a keyholding service?As a property keyholder, you must be able to attend your premises within a 20-minute period and resolve any alarm issues. If you fail to do this on more than three occasions, the police will withdraw their response from your premises, and your alarm could be considered a nuisance.
click>What happens if my alarm is considered a nuisance?If your alarm rings and proves to be a nuisance at law, the council will serve you with a
Noise Abatement Notice and may have to break into your premises to disconnect the alarm. They would then re-secure the premises by changing the locks and charge you for the time and the money spent in turning the alarm off.
Failure to comply with the Abatement Notice is a criminal offence and the council can prosecute you. If found guilty, you may have to pay a fine which could be as much as £5,000 for residential premises, and £20,000 for commercial premises.
