Empty house on my street - what should I do?

There’s a house on my street that’s been empty for well over a year now and it’s making our road look really rundown. The neighbours knew the previous owner and apparently he died but no one has come to clear it. has anyone dealt with this situation before? Do the council get involved? Would love to hear if anyone has found a way to sort this problem thanks

You might be in the same area as me Smile

Definitely see if your Council has an Empty Homes officer but if the house is going through Probate then good luck to you, the wait times for probate are now horrendous.

The wait for Probate is not long at all! 80% of online applications are granted within 4 weeks!
