POWERS IN ACTION

Finders International are proud supporters of National Empty Homes Week and the local initiatives it focuses on, towards bringing empty properties back into use.

Each year National Empty Homes Week offers an opportunity to demonstrate the great work that Councils and Communities are doing to bring wasted empty homes back into use and to take action on empty homes which negatively impact neighbourhoods.

National Empty Homes Week is a great opportunity to highlight information and assistance for owners of empty homes and to offer local residents advice on how to report any empty homes causing concern in their neighbourhoods.

This year we celebrate the powers that councils have to bring empty homes back into use, and to campaign for greater powers. The Local Government Association will also be supporting Empty Homes Week 2024 at national level following their recent work on the issue with empty homes practitioners' organisation the Empty Homes Network and accompanying media work. You can read our media release here.

See below our current case studies - great examples of councils using powers and resources at their disposal to bring empties back into use.
