Loans To Let

The pictures below show a small selection of the empty properties that Officers are actively dealing with. The vast majority of properties are brought back into use through advice and guidance or being able to offer financial assistance in appropriate cases. However, where the property is causing problems to the community and the owner fails to engage with the Council in a constructive manner, then more formal action will be pursued.

Have a look at the case studies to see the different methods Councils use to help owners bring their properties back into use.
