Empty homes

Properties are often empty while awaiting sale, let or renovation. When properties have been vacant for 12 months or more, there are potentially fundamental issues preventing their re-occupation; we want to ensure they are brought back into use.

If a property near you has been empty for a long time, complete the Empty Homes Reporting form. 

Do you own an empty home?

If you own a property that is empty, we may be able to help by:

  • Advising you of a housing association that could lease or purchase unwanted properties
