Empty Homes Classroom Session: Managing Difficult Properties

Finders International are pleased to present the 2026 Empty Homes Classroom Session: Managing Difficult Properties.

This in‑person training session brings together Empty Homes Officers, Housing Enforcement teams, Environmental Health professionals and local authority colleagues to explore practical approaches to managing complex empty property cases.

Led by David Armstrong, a specialist in housing enforcement and statutory powers, the session combines legal insight with real‑world application, offering practical guidance to support effective frontline decision‑making.

By attending, you will:

• Gain a clear understanding of the legal tools available, including enforcement powers, nuisance routes and planning options
• Explore case-based scenarios to strengthen confidence in evidence‑gathering, proportionality and engagement with property owners
• Hear practical insights grounded in current enforcement challenges
• Connect with peers to share experiences and approaches

The session begins with refreshments and informal networking, followed by a focused programme of learning and discussion. Lunch and tea/coffee are provided.

This event is free to attend; however, spaces are limited.

We look forward to welcoming you.
