The Empty Homes Network are excited to announce our Exhibitor Sponsors for this year's Virtual Conference on Thursday 19th May, as Finders International, Estate Research Ltd , Habitat for Humanity and Anglia Research Services.
Having supported our events for a number of years, Finders International, Habitat for Humanity and Anglia Research Services all return to support us in hosting the virtual event for a second year running. A special welcome is extended to Estate Research Ltd, who are supporting us at our national conference for the first time. The Empty Homes Network is extremely excited to have partnered with these four great organisations for this year’s event.

Estate Research Ltd are a firm of genealogists established in 2001 who have built a reputation assisting the public sector. We have a head office in Wigan and an office in London, employing over 50 staff with both local and international reach. Our company has evolved significantly over the years, meaning we provide a huge range of services, including empty property solutions. With the number of empty properties continuously on the rise we understand that it is now more important than ever to bring as many of these properties back into use as soon as possible, and Estate Research have a proven track record of assisting local authorities do exactly that. We offer free and simple solutions in a number of scenarios, including: - Identifying and tracing missing owners and putting them in touch with the local authority - Tracing next of kin if a property owner has passed away, and assisting them with probate - Checking for probate if you suspect a deceased property owner’s estate may have already been dealt with, in order for you to get in touch with the executor - Offering professional and impartial advice to all parties involved (including access to our panel of expert solicitors) In addition to the above, we think it’s important to facilitate communication between empty property owners and the local authority so that community needs can be met. In many instances, there may already be interest from local developers and other local initiatives who want to help bring properties back into social use. If you would like more information about our free empty property solutions, please contact [email protected].
Habitat for Humanity GB are delighted to be attending the Virtual Empty Homes Conference this year, as both a sponsor and exhibitor. We have benefitted over many years from being a member of the Empty Homes Network, and our work as a housing charity in bringing empty property into use as affordable homes has been enhanced through the peer learning, networking and opportunities to collaborate that this has afforded. Great Britain has its share of poverty, and often it is hidden. Through various initiatives, our global charity is providing part of the solution to complex housing and community challenges that continue to persist in the UK, and many places around the world. This in turn empowers some of the most marginalised families and vulnerable people in society to achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance. We look forward to the Virtual Conference experience, and to welcoming attendees to our exhibitor space online. Do feel free to arrange to meet David Clare, Gareth Hepworth and Lisa Campbell Price during the conference by visiting our “Habitat for Humanity GB” virtual space and booking a chat.
