Empty homes

Information on empty properties and bringing them back into use.

Bringing empty properties back into use

Portsmouth is a densely populated city with limited space for new housing, therefore every home counts. Bringing empty homes back into use helps to:

  • Increase housing supply.
  • Improve neighbourhoods by reducing neglect and deterioration.
  • Support sustainability by reusing existing buildings.
  • Reduce public costs associated with intervention into the issues caused by empty homes.
