List of Empty Homes

The request was refused by Shropshire Council.

Dear Shropshire Council,

Could you please supply me with the details of all empty properties you hold on your register and details of the property owners wherever possible.
I request the details for domestic and retail and commercial properties within your area.
Our agency helps with protecting vacant properties from possible risks associated with vacant premises.

We felt that the ‘’old’’ way of managing properties needed to be transformed to offer a fully managed solution at no cost to the property owner.

This started with the philosophy that WPM will truly look after your investment and improve long term returns, or for non-investment properties, we will maintain its integrity and security.

At the centre of this story is one big idea, a committed, loyal and trustworthy Guardian community that will protect the owner's property from the threat of fire, squatting, theft and vandalism.

Heading into a period of the Christmas holidays whereby squatting and wanton vandalism occurs more frequently in the vacant property market, in exchange for us managing your property, we are offering the following

Yours faithfully,

Dear Gisela

 

The Council does not release the specific details of empty residential
properties into the public domain as this is likely potentially lead to
criminal activity i.e. if it is common knowledge that a property is empty
this could be used for criminal purposes and so the general view is that
such information should not be released into the public domain.

 

Details of business rates accounts and reliefs is published on the
Council's website and can be access from the following link.

The excel spreadsheet NDR accounts with and without reliefs details where
business rate accounts have reliefs and exemptions due to being
unoccupied.
