You can use the online enquiry form to:
- ask for more information about an empty property
- report a problem with empty property
If you own an empty property, you can contact us for support with bringing the property back into use.
An empty home is a wasted resource both for:
- the owner who could make financial gains by letting or selling the property, and
- for those who are in need of housing
Empty homes can have a negative impact on residents living in the neighbouring vicinity and the wider community:
- they can attract vermin, graffiti and litter,
- become a target for vandalism, squatting, break-ins and arson
What we can do to help
We have a range of powers and grants to assist the owners of empty properties to bring them back into use.
