Here to Help

Vacant properties are 'No Use Empty'. This website is available to help property owners investigate ways to bring houses and other accommodation back into use.

Do you own an empty property in good repair but don't know whether to sell or rent?
Are you a property developer looking for opportunities to turn empty properties into profit?
Have you recently inherited a property that's standing empty but are unsure of the next steps to filling it?
Are you aware of a property left standing empty and want something done?

If so, this website can help you. Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils work together to tackle the problem of empty homes across the West of England region. We encourage, enable and assist owners to bring their empty properties back into use for residential accommodation.

Whether you own an empty property, wish to buy an empty property or if you want to report an empty property you will find useful information, advice and contacts to help you here.

NB Owners wishing to update Council Tax records in regards to an empty property should contact own respective council tax department for help.
