Empty properties can not only bring down an area of a neighbourhood but are also a waste of resources as they could provide much-needed accommodation without needing new housing.
Empty homes are often targeted for vandalism, arson, squatters, fly-tipping and other criminal behaviour. So, what can you do with your vacant property?
East Suffolk Council is helping property owners with empty homes
The East Suffolk council has agreed on a three-year scheme to tackle the number of long-term empty homes in its district and said they would prioritise 280 properties in private ownership that had been vacant for more than two years.
Empty homes are a wasted resource according to the council and are a waste to an owner who could receive a rental income or even a capital sum if it were to be sold.
Using this scheme, you could benefit families needing a home and help communities who would welcome the support of additional families who could provide for local businesses, schools, and clubs.
By working with the East Suffolk Council, you can invest back into your empty property and bring it back into use.
