Bringing empty homes back into use

If you own an empty property we can work with you to bring it back into use.

Homes left empty are a wasted resource that often fall into a poor state of repair and can become targets for anti-social behaviour.

We can provide:

  • a loan to improve the property
  • help and advice on letting or selling your property
  • advice on VAT reduction.

If you have an empty property and you are not willing to work with us to bring it back into use, or the empty property is causing a nuisance, we may be able to take legal action.
