Report an empty home

Empty homes can create problems for homeowners, neighbours, communities and local authorities.

They can:

• Create environmental issues
• Be a danger if dilapidated
• Look unattractive and ugly if they are boarded up
• Reduce the value of the neighbour’s property by as much as 10%
• Attract antisocial activity, including arson and the increased fear of crime in the area
• Discourage further investment in the area leading to neighbourhood decline
• Result in more ‘green field’ development as housing pressure increases
