When we take action on empty properties
The councils will take action in respect of properties that are either:
- Seriously detrimental to the amenity of the area:
If you are concerned about the appearance of the property, including the gardens, then you can report this to the Planning Enforcement team. - Prejudicial to the public health or a statutory nuisance:
If you are concerned that the house and land is harbouring vermin such as rats or mice, then you can report this to Public Health & Regulation.
Are you aware of an empty property?
If you want to tell us about an empty property you can let Private Sector Housing know by emailing:
