Empty properties

Bringing empty properties back into use is one of our key priorities for housing within North Somerset.

Empty properties are a wasted resource and we can advise owners on letting and other available options, available financial assistance and even help find new tenants.

Bringing empty homes back into use also has many benefits for owners, neighbours and potential tenants.

The benefits for owners include the following:

  • Improved sales potential
  • Increased long term investment potential
  • Increased rental income
  • Increased security against vandalism and squatting

The benefits for neighbours include the following:

  • Makes their area a more attractive place to live
  • Possible increased property prices

The benefits for potential tenants include the following:

  • Increased choice of properties for the homeless and those in housing need
  • Renting from a council-accredited landlord

If you own or live near an empty property within North Somerset please let us know so we can help bring them back into use to benefit you and your community.
