Empty homes matching service for Denbighshire

Empty home owners can take advantage of a free matching service with potential developers.

The Council is running a matching service to put empty property owners in touch with potential investors to increase the chances of the property being transformed into a home. There are potential investors ready to take forward opportunities.

It is part of the Council’s work under its Corporate Plan to reduce the number of empty properties in the county and to create more housing for residents.

Councillor Tony Thomas, the Council’s Lead Member for Housing and Communities, said: “The Council has been working hard to ensure that empty properties are brought back into the market and can be used as homes for residents.

“Selling a property through this scheme can save empty home owners money on estate agency fees and Council Tax, if the property has been empty for more than six months, as well as ongoing maintenance costs of the property.

“There are a number of property developers who are signed up to the scheme and who are looking for opportunities throughout Denbighshire.”
