When the Council spots a 'match' between an empty home for sale and a buyer's requirements, the empty home owner will receive the buyer's details to follow up. Or if a buyer sees an empty property on this website which they may be interested in, they can contact Housing Services to pass their details onto the seller.
The Empty Homes Matchmaker Scheme is a free display service and the Council has not verified the descriptions of individual properties published and can in no way be held liable for inaccurate information published.
The empty home owner is expected to keepthe Council up to date with the progress of any sale, whether through this scheme or otherwise.
A hard copy of the 'Empty Homes For Sale list' can be sent to you upon request. Please contact the Housing Services department to request a copy.
