The Council will get involved with empty properties where they are:
- Encouraging rats or mice
- Attracting the dumping of rubbish
- Causing dampness to adjoining properties
- Unsecured
- Structurally unsafe
Our information on houses gardens in need of attention gives more information on how we can help.
We do not hold a list of owners of empty properties. If you wish to find out who owns a particular property then the Land Registry can provide you with details.
