Empty homes

Knowsley Offer logo

Reducing the number of empty homes helps to bring properties back into use (increasing the number of homes available) and removes properties that are eyesores or those that could attract anti-social behaviour.

If you own a property that is unoccupied, help may be available to bring the property back in to use, including:-

  • Guidance on how to sell your property.

  • Guidance on how to rent out your property – the landlord accreditation and tenancy bond schemes.

  • Financial assistance.

  • Help to maximise property opportunities e.g., conversions etc.

  • Advice on how to find a suitable builder.

The matchmaker scheme is a free service that matches empty homes with possible buyers. You can join the matchmaker scheme if you own an empty property that has been unoccupied for six months or more, or are interested in buying an empty property.

For more details about any of the above, please contact us:
