Harrisons Empty Property Solutions

Specialist support for the identification, management, and disposal of empty and neglected properties

Harrisons Empty Property Solutions provides a comprehensive, end-to-end service for locating empty property owners and managing vacant assets through to lawful disposal. We work with solicitors, charities, local authorities, and private stakeholders to bring empty properties back under control, reduce risk, and unlock value—while ensuring full compliance and transparency at every stage.

Who We Support

Solicitors & Legal Professionals

We support probate, estate administration, and litigation teams by locating property owners or beneficiaries, securing vacant properties, and managing them through sale or transfer. Our services help reduce liability, protect asset value, and ensure property matters progress efficiently alongside legal proceedings.

Charities & Legacy Partners

We assist charities in managing legacy properties received through wills or long-term vacancies. Our approach is respectful, compliant, and focused on maximising value while minimising holding costs, ensuring charitable intentions are upheld.

Local Authorities

We work in partnership with local authorities to identify and manage long-term empty, derelict, or problematic properties. Our services help reduce public nuisance, improve community safety, and support regeneration objectives through responsible management or disposal.

Private Owners, Executors & Professional Representatives

For individuals or representatives responsible for vacant properties, we provide a clear, structured solution—handling everything from initial inspection to final disposal.
