Empty homes

Do you need help with your empty property?

Newcastle City Council is stepping up its campaign to bring long-term empty properties back into use in order to reduce the negative impact empty properties have on neighbourhoods and increase the supply of affordable housing in the city.

If you own an empty property we can offer advice and support to bring the empty property back into use.

• We can help find and reference check suitable tenants.
• Give advice on market rents and demand.
• Create tenancy agreements and help with sign ins.

If the property has been vacant for more than two years you might qualify for reduced VAT on renovations as well.

Check out our Private Rented Team Website www.privaterentedservice.co.uk for further information, contact Private Rented Team on 0191 277 1438 or email: privaterentedservices@newcastle.gov.uk

Report a problem empty property

If you notice a problem empty property in the city we would like to hear from you.

If you are worried about an empty property that is falling into disrepair, report it by email at psr@newcastle.gov.uk 

We ask that you provide an accurate address of the problem property details of the owner (if you know who they are), and any other information you think may be helpful.
