Recent research by Glide<\/a> has revealed Birmingham as the area with the most opportunities for regeneration, with Liverpool and Manchester following shortly after<\/h2>\n

Glide made a series of FOI requests to local councils in order to find the number of empty dwellings<\/a> and commercial properties across the UK.<\/p>\n

Birmingham was revealed as the leading council area for the most potential space, with 8,086 residential properties and 7,622 commercial buildings in the city and its suburbs being empty.<\/p>\n

Collectively, across both categories of building, in the month of September 2019 there were 617,527 empty buildings across the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second is Liverpool, where 15,339 buildings are currently not occupied, while regions across the North dominate the top five, with Manchester, Leeds and Bradford also ranking highly.<\/p>\n

With the highest number of empty residential properties, with 11,073 sitting unoccupied, while the study revealed that Liverpool has a total of 448,246 empty dwellings in this sector across the country and that the top five cities account for 10% of the total number of vacant homes.<\/p>\n

Bradford has the highest number of commercial properties currently empty, with 7,908 business premises currently unoccupied, which means that 4.5% of all empty commercial properties in the UK are located in that council area.<\/p>\n

Birmingham has the second-highest number of empty commercial properties (7,622), followed by Leeds (4,528) and Liverpool (4,266).<\/p>\n

The FOI requests found that there are a total of 172,217 empty business units across the UK, which perhaps suggests a huge potential for investment, particularly in cities and regions that have felt the harshest effects of recent financial uncertainty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jason Lloyd, head of residential at Glide said: \u201cThe research has revealed the high number of empty properties and businesses across the UK, particularly across some of the major northern council areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut whilst it is troubling to see so much wasted residential and commercial space, it does represent a clear opportunity for developers, and hopefully this study will help prospective investors pinpoint where there is the most potential for growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
