Additionally, there is also a significant housing shortage within the UK and putting empty homes back into use is a practical method to alleviate this issue.<\/p>\n<p>There are around half a million homes currently unoccupied in the UK, which, if utilised effectively, could assist in combatting the empty homes crisis facing the UK.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003a7a;\">So what are the solutions?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Local authorities have a number of options at their disposal in order to put empty properties back into use. One potential solution is the use of Empty Dwelling Management Orders (\u201cEDMOs\u201d). EDMOs are a legal tool which allow local authorities to take control of, and manage, residential properties. These properties must have been empty for at least 2 years (6 months in Wales) and the following criteria must apply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All attempts to contact and trace the owner to bring the property back into use have failed;<\/li>\n<li>The dwelling has been unoccupied for at least two years;<\/li>\n<li>There is no prospect of the dwelling becoming occupied in the near future;<\/li>\n<li>There is a reasonable prospect that the dwelling will become occupied if an EDMO is made; and<\/li>\n<li>The local authority has complied with its duties in seeking an EDMO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the right circumstances, an EDMO might be the correct option for a local authority to take control of a property and put it back into use through rental or other means.<\/p>\n<p>A further option available to local authorities is the use of Compulsory Purchase Orders (\u201cCPOs\u201d). CPOs can be used where the local authority has a statutory right to buy a property. As with EDMOs, there are a number of criteria which must be met by the local authority in order to exercise the right of a CPO. The local authority must be able to justify the CPO to the Secretary of State, considering factors such as public interest and purpose.<\/p>\n<p>CPOs can act as a useful tool to local authorities who wish to purchase an empty property, allowing it to be put back into use through the open market.<\/p>\n<p>Our specialist Empty Homes team can assist in the enforcement of EDMOs or CPOs. We act for local authorities throughout the country and offer a comprehensive variety of solutions to assist with getting empty properties back into use.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Empty Dwelling Management Orders please contact our Empty Homes team on <strong><span style=\"color: #003a7a;\">(0114) 218 4000<\/span><\/strong> or email <a href=\"mailto:emptyhomes@tayloremmet.co.uk\"><strong><span style=\"color: #003a7a;\">emptyhomes@tayloremmet.co.uk<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unoccupied homes can negatively impact the value of adjoining properties and can ultimately become a source of nuisance within a local area.
