Homes and property Help with Empty homes

How do I report an empty property?

If you are aware of an empty property within Manchester please let us know.

Read the Empty Homes privacy statement for details of how we use your personal information.

If you suspect it's used for crime, please call Greater Manchester Police on 101.

Upon receiving a report of a possible empty home, our Empty Homes team will negotiate with the owner. We aim to restore the property to a suitable standard and bring it back into use.

If these talks fail, we may pursue legal enforcement.

See 'What happens if an owner refuses to bring an empty property back into use?' for more details.
