No Use Empty, the initiative which is helping to bring empty properties in Kent back into use, is behind a new scheme to offer owners of empty properties a free design and renovation consultation with an architect.

The incentive encourages owners of empty houses to bring their properties back on the market, as not knowing how to approach renovation work is one of the major barriers of bringing empty houses back into use. Participants in the initiative will be asked to make a small donation to the Empty Homes Agency, the independent campaign charity which promotes sustainable solutions to bringing empty property back into use.

The “Architect in the Empty House” initiative is a joint venture between the Empty Homes Agency and Stephen Donald Architects.
