The Empty Homes Network are delighted to announce our Exhibitor Sponsors for this year's National Conference on Wednesday 20th May.
Continuing their support of our annual Conference, Bevan Brittan, Auction House and Oxford Investigation Services return again for our 2026 event, and will be available throughout the day to answer your questions and demonstrate how they and their teams can support you in your roles.
Joining them, will be Resonance, who will also be sharing their experience and service offering to delegates on the day, and The Empty Homes Network are hugely grateful for their support!
Bevan Brittan
Bevan Brittan is a UK-Top 100 national law firm, providing legal and advisory advice within the housing, local government and health and social care sectors.
We work in partnership with a range of local authorities and social housing providers to effectively implement their empty homes strategies.
Latest Government figures estimate over 700,000 empty properties in England. Our experienced legal team have been assisting local authorities to bring these empty properties back into use by advising on disrepair issues, anti-social behaviour, compulsory purchase orders, and enforcing sales to recover costs.
Visit our stand during the conference and find out how we can help you effectively implement your empty homes strategy.
Auction House
Auction House is a national brand with a local presence. We work with local authorities across the country to sell empty homes in as little as 28 days. Selling with Auction House promises a fair, honest and transparent sales process.
We work on behalf of the vendor to sell properties for the best possible price in the shortest possible timeframe. With a national database of property investors and developers, properties can be sold and renovated quickly and returned to the housing market.
Among many other benefits, here are the three key reasons to sell at auction. Speed: Selling at auction is quick, in fact there is no faster way to sell a property. From the point of instruction through to completion, the whole process can take as little as eight weeks (sometimes less). Certainty: Selling at auction provides certainty of sale as contracts are exchanged on the fall of the gavel and the sale is legally binding. Price: Properties for sale at auction often sell in excess of the guide price and once the hammer falls, there is no room for negotiation.
Oxford Investigation Services
Oxford Investigation Services are a leading provider of counter-fraud services, specialising in empty property reviews. Their experienced team conducts thorough investigations to identify and address fraudulent activities related to vacant properties, ensuring that housing resources are utilised effectively and efficiently.
By leveraging advanced data analytics and investigative techniques, they help clients recover lost revenue, prevent future fraud, and help utilise subsidies. These techniques and skills have led to an extra £5m+ in New Homes Bonus being award to Oxford and their clients over the last five years.
