EMPTY HOME

Empty properties which are vacant for a long period of time are detrimental socially, environmentally and economically. They can become a nuisance for those living in the neighbourhood, can be the cause of blight to adjoining properties and lead to anti-social behaviour in the area. If you know of an empty property in your neighbourhood please let us know and we will attempt to contact the owner to find out if it is possible to bring the property back into use.

WHAT WE CAN DO

The Empty Homes Unit is a dedicated section set up within the Northern Ireland Housing Executive specifically to help tackle the issue of empty homes in Northern Ireland. We are keen to see as many homes as possible brought back into use preferably by working with owners to provide advice and guidance to find a long-term solution.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

We also need your help in identifying empty properties. Any information you can provide on our Report an Empty Home page about empty properties in your neighbourhood will be of assistance to us.
