Web page: Empty or Dilapidated Properties
Empty properties in Wealden are a wasted resource, given the district's high housing need and very limited supply of land suitable for the building of new homes due to two thirds of the district being designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.
They can quickly fall into disrepair and attract pests, graffiti and litter, becoming a target for vandalism, squatting, break-ins and arson. This can be very expensive for owners who are already missing out on the potential income from renting or selling the property.
