It is not often that an owner of an empty property has left it empty deliberately. It is more common that the owner is unsure what to do with the property, particularly if it is in a poor state of repair.
Local authorities are primarily concerned with targeting owners of long-term empty properties, especially where the property is creating a nuisance to the wider community. Each Local Authority has dedicated officers who are able to provide free and confidential advice and assistance to owners of empty properties. To contact your Local Authority please click here
An owner of an empty property may wish to sell the property in its current condition or look to renovate the property first. Other options include renting the property out to tenants and receiving an income. For more information on letting your property click here
