Getting started

Make sure you are allowed to do what you want to the property. It's all very well having imaginative plans to redesign the property into the house of your dreams but if there are legal restrictions, or if it's a listed property, you may not be allowed to.
Work out a proper budget before you start. Rescuing a house doesn't have to be expensive, but if you run out of money half way through you'll be skint and homeless. Build £200 into your project to spend on a treat for yourself at the end. It'll help keep you focussed on sticking to the budget.
Build the right team of people to help you. Choose architects, builders and conveyancers who you can work with and will help you, not fleece you.
Choose the right building materials for the job. There's a range of alternatives for every eventuality. Some choices are good for your pocket, some are good for the environment and some are just less hassle for your builder.
Don't bank on a grant, but do see what's available. Rescuing an empty property meets the objectives of lots of organisations some of them may be prepared to subsidize your costs.

How to find an empty property
Keep your eyes peeled. About one in 20 homes in the country is empty. Once you start looking, you'll see them everywhere. Try the following options to get your search off the ground.
Local council - Your local council will probably have a list of all the empty properties in their area. Some councils will be happy to let you see the information, but beware that others may not be so open. If they won't disclose the information you could make a written request - you've got a legal right to request it.
Estate agents - Their shop windows don't want to be cluttered with pictures of wrecks, but that doesn't mean to say that they haven't got some houses in need of rescuing in the back of the filing cabinet. So, make sure you ask to see what's available.
Online auctions - Auction catalogues are a good place to find empty properties that are for sale. On the web look out for specialist websites that specialise in empty properties.
Land for sale - More often than not building land for sale has already got a house on it that the seller is inviting you to buy to demolish. Often the house is beyond saving but sometimes it's salvageable.
Finding out who owns the property
Once you've found an empty property, how do you know who owns it? It may be as simple as asking the people who live near by. If you explain to them why you want to know, they will probably be happy to tell you.
Many properties are registered at the Land Registry. For a small fee you can look at the register and see who the owner is. The HM Land Registry website for England and Wales is: www.landregisteronline.gov.uk, the Registers of Scotland Executive Agency is: www.ros.gov.uk and the Land Registry of Northern Ireland is: www.lrni.gov.uk.
Most local authorities have a register of empty properties and know who the owner is. Local authorities have different policies on disclosing this information. If your local authority won't tell you, you could put the request in writing citing the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Sid Gentle Films, the BAFTA and Emmy award-winning producers behind “Killing Eve” and “The Durrells,” headed by Sally Woodward Gentle (pictured below), has acquired the rights to develop Cash Carraway’s “Skint Estate” for TV, and has lined up a lead writer for previously announced “Taking Up Space.” Both projects are in formal development with British broadcasters.
“Skint Estate” is a darkly funny, searingly political, debut memoir from Carraway, described as “a scream against austerity that rises full of rage,” set in a landscape of public housing, police cells, refuges and peepshows. With working title “Shit Show,” the series is in formal development with BBC, and Cash will adapt all episodes. BBC Studios will distribute.
Cash has been described as “the new voice of a generation” by the London Times and the book launched to rave reviews. She recently announced the prequel to “Skint Estate,” “Fleshpot,” will be published by Ebury Press in March 2022. Cash is represented by Curtis Brown.
Last year, Sid Gentle Films announced they had won the dramatic TV rights to “Taking Up Space,” and can now announce that Cherish Shirley will be the lead writer. The series is also in active development with a British broadcaster, to be announced at a later date. BBC Studios will distribute.
Cherish is a screenwriter and producer. She set up and joined the writers’ room for Netflix’s “Turn Up Charlie,” produced by Idris Elba’s company, Green Door, and worked as the writer’s assistant and storyliner on ITV sitcom “Vicious,” starring Ian McKellan and Derek Jacobi. She has original series in development with production companies Sugar Films and Mermade, and is working on a project on race and identity for a U.K. broadcaster. Cherish has worked in scripted development at Big Talk and Film4. Cherish is represented by Casarotto Ramsay & Associates. Pycharm professional torrent.
