One of our case managers buzzed me the other day with some news of an Empty Home we’re helping to Bring Back Into Use.
An Empty Homes Officer at a Local Authority had been getting nowhere trying to engage with the owners and referred it to us - could we help trace them? It turned out the owner had passed away so as part of our service we’re making sure the property goes through probate smoothly and as quickly as possible so it can be re-occupied with all the attendant benefits.
The property hadn’t been empty all that long and was in reasonable shape so it’ll be on the market very soon and no doubt a family will be in residence shortly. Quite a lot of the empties we deal with have been empty for yonks, are hoarded and so on - you get the picture. Anyway, the case manager and I were chatting about this property and mentioned the address - another colleague was nearby and double-checked he’d heard us correctly: it turned out the property had been on his paper round 25 or so years ago. How’s that for a small world?
Although we can’t promise a trip down memory lane with every case we take on, we can promise a first class, UKGDPR-compliant and straightforward service, strongly committed, every time - just like you - to BEHBIU*.
Are you dealing with a problem empty? Would you find an informal, no-obligation chat useful? You’re welcome to buzz me anytime on 07850 739812 or mail me at nickbeetham@fraserandfraser.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from you.
