Video: what really happens when our homes become empty?
Why do some stay empty for longer than others? How many homes do we bring back into use each year? Why do we sell some properties?
Brian and Dean break it all down during a visit to empty homes in Breightmet, Farnworth, and Halliwell with members of our Scrutiny panels* - tackling myths, sharing facts, and answering your top questions. You'll hear reflections from our members along the way, too.
Every empty property is different, and the work needed to make them safe, modern, and ready for new tenants can vary a lot. If you'd like answers to more questions about our empty properties, visit: www.boltonathome.org.uk/empty-properties.
