 Owners of Empty Homes Find Relief with First Principle Housing
If you are a London area homeowner with one or more empty properties, the below information pertains directly to you. Property owners need to know that the authority of local councils has been expanded in regards to the compulsory purchase of properties deemed empty homes.
The following FAQs will assist you in understanding empty homes, Empty Dwelling Management Orders and your options as a property owner.
What is considered an empty home?
Empty homes, as defined by the government, are properties which are empty on a long-term basis. Holiday homes and second homes are a separately categorised group and do not fall into this definition.
Why are empty homes a problem?
Homes that are empty and uncared for are a visual nuisance to any neighbourhood and can attract vermin, vandals and squatters. Additionally, an empty home is a strain on the local economy, can lower property values in the surrounding area and is counterproductive to meeting the growing demand for housing.
How can homeowners determine if their property has been categorised as an empty home?
Homeowners should contact their local councils to determine if their property is listed as empty.
What is an EDMO?
An EDMO is an Empty Dwelling Management Order. These orders provide local councils with the authority to take control of empty homes, undertake necessary renovations and bring these properties back into use.
When are Empty Dwelling Management Orders issued?
Empty Dwelling Management Orders (EDMOs) are considered a last resort option that is issued after unsuccessful attempts by the local council to contact the property owner using other means. An EDMO is issued only when the local council has reason to believe that the homeowner has no intention of renovating or pursing occupancy for the home.
