Still unsure how it works? Here’s a clear guide with practical tips to walk you through the process and to help you identify and report an empty property in your area.
The Process
If you spot an empty property, the process is simple. Report it and share the details to help bring properties back to life and into the market while earning rewards at the same time.
Signs of an empty property
In your daily routine, whether during morning drop offs, walking the dog, or commuting to work, you may notice a property.
Here are some signs to look out for!
Boarded Windows or Doors
Boarded windows or doors on a property often suggest disrepair or possible hazards.
Overgrown gardens
An overgrown garden could mean the property is unattended or potentially empty.
External Damage
Peeling paint, broken windows or missing tiles can show a property has been neglected.
Damaged Roof
A roof with missing tiles or signs of a collapsed roof can suggest that the property has been abandoned.
Dumped Rubbish
Rubbish left at an empty property may signal neglect, whether caused by fly-tippers or simply by inaction.
Vehicles
An empty driveway may indicate that no one is at the property, while a car that appears unmoved and dirty could suggest the place has been abandoned.
Stacked Mail
Overflowing uncollected mail or parcels at the door can be a sign that no one is at the property.
Pests
Pest droppings, neighbour complaints, or signs of animals around the property may indicate the property is empty.
No Lights on at night
If there are no lights on during the night, it can suggest there is no activity in the property.
