Support for Empty Homes Officers
When the usual tracing routes lead nowhere - we can help.
We understand that most local authorities already have tracing processes in place. But occasionally, a case hits a wall.
-
The owner can’t be contacted
-
Section 215 Notices are being ignored
-
Standard searches aren’t turning up results
That’s where we come in.
At Empty Property Hunters, we specialise in the long-term empty homes that others have given up on. Our in-house research team goes far beyond the basics — using genealogy research, archived directories, probate records overseas, and property data across Australia, Asia, and the US.
