Empty properties

Reporting an empty home

We work hard to help owners of empty homes bring their properties back into use, by providing financial and more practical help with renovations.

However, where owners refuse to tackle their empty properties we will, as a final option, use enforcement to bring properties back into use.

Why empty homes are an issue

Empty homes can:

  • cause a nuisance to neighbours
  • be dangerous
  • attract vandals and anti-social behaviour
  • decrease the value of neighbouring homes

We help owners of empty homes bring their properties back into use. They are currently working on projects to provide finance and more practical help with renovations to assist owners. However, where owners refuse to tackle their empty properties we will, as a final option, use enforcement to bring properties back into use without the consent of owners. This is very rare with most owners opting to take the plunge and sort their problem empty property out. So it is worthwhile getting in touch if you are worried about an empty property near you.

We can help if you own an empty property

If you are the owner of an empty property, please contact us as we can help you to bring it back into use. We have a great track record of helping many owners, just like you, to renovate their properties and realise the full value of their asset.
