Open and derelict properties: Outline

The Built Environment service ensures that empty properties are kept secure against unauthorised access.

There are a number of courses of action the Council can take to deal with long-term derelict and vacant properties which are having a detrimental effect on the local community. One option is the compulsory purchase of a property.

If you know of any long-term vacant or unsecured houses which are causing serious problems please contact us with the details.
