Open and Derelict Properties
The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 empowers local authorities to deal with privately-owned vacant buildings which are not secured against unauthorised entry or that are likely to become a danger to public health.
If you wish to report an open or derelict property please use the online form on the right. The form takes about 5 minutes to complete online and you can monitor your progress using the progress bar at the bottom of the screen.
If you think the property poses a danger please refer to the dangerous structures page, which provides information on how to contact us 24 hours a day.
