Selling an Empty Property

If this is the route you wish to take, you will need to get your property valued. This can be done by:

• A professional property surveyor - this is likely to provide the most accurate valuation;
• An Estate Agent - this will be done based on the prices of properties of similar sizes and types in the same area;
• Estimating the value yourself - by looking at how much similar properties have sold for recently in the local area. There is a risk to this approach in getting the value wrong.

Selling a property involves a complex legal process. It is therefore advisable to seek advise from a legal professional, such as a solicitor or conveyancer to conduct the legal process of the sale, once this has been agreed.

There are different methods of selling a property.

• it can be sold through an estate agent,
• sold at an auction,
• or by advertising the property yourself.

• It is compiled and maintained by the four local authorities forming No Use Empty (West).
• It gives owners an opportunity to advertise their empty property for sale.
• The list is sent to our Interested Purchasers & Developers List.
• It's available to download from this website.
• People who are interested in purchasing an empty property will contact their council who will forward details to the owner who can then make contact.
• Complete the form to register a property.

When you advertise a property for sale on this site, you are confirming the following:

• That you are the owner of the property and are entitled to sell it.
• That you agree for the property to be advertised for sale on www.no-use-emptywest.co.uk.

Land and property on this website is advertised for the owner. When we are approached by an individual who is interested in purchasing a property that we are aware of, we are able to pass their onto the registered owner, so that they can contact them directly. It is then a private matter between the two parties.
