Report an empty property
Empty homes are a wasted resource, particularly when considered against the ever-growing need for housing.
Empty homes can have adverse impacts on the local community, such as:
- community safety issues (for example antisocial behaviour and vandalism)
- unsightliness
- environmental issues (for example pest and vermin infestations)
- reducing the value and ease of sale of neighbouring properties
By bringing empty properties back into use, we can:
- maximise the existing housing resource
- increase the provision of good quality, affordable housing
- minimise adverse environmental, social and local impacts
- encourage growth, betterment and investment within communities
- support other cooperate priorities, objectives and strategies
