According to Action on Empty Homes there are currently over 260,000 long-term empty properties across the country, a 30% increase since 2016.

Despite the excellent work and dedication of public sector organisations and the sheer size of the problem means there is still a long way to go. We can help with providing owner support and information, as well as estate administration where required, reducing the resources required by local authorities at no cost.

 

The impact of an empty home on the community

  • Become dilapidated and cause damage
  • Attract anti-social, disruptive and criminal behaviour
  • Poses a safety threat
  • Have a negative impact on the overall attractiveness and value of the neighbourhood
  • Reduces housing availability for the many families in need

 

Empty Homes practitioners work with us as we are efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with.  As members of the Empty Homes Network, we are acutely aware of the challenges faced by those working in this specialist sector and focus our service on being transparent and approachable, aiming to save local authorities time, resource, and money.

We are highly experienced in successfully locating property owners (freeholders or landlords) or their heirs. By tracing a missing property owner, things can move forward, whether it is a long-term empty or a property that has more recently become vacant.

How we can help:

  • Immediate and proactive response to your request
  • Thorough and diligent research that you can rely on
  • Clear and timely collaboration
  • Complete estate administration service if required
  • No cost to public bodies
