Finding Owners of Vacant Properties
We trace owners of unused lands and property worldwide
Housing
We been involved in the research of vacant property and unused land for many years.
There are many circumstances why a property may become vacant for a long period of time, and we have encountered many such scenarios in our years of researching empty homes.
We work with members of the public, housing officials, local authorities, housing associations and and government officials to try to source vacant properties so that they can be brought back into use for either private or social housing.
Bereavement Services
If a city or county council experiences the unfortunate circumstance where a person dies and their next of kin are unknown, we offer our tracing services free of charge to that referring authority.
Our aim is to assist that city or county council in finding family relatives as quickly as possible. We often trace next of kin within 24 hours which then enables that person to notify other known family members of the Deceased’s passing.
Availing of this service often means that the Deceased’s extended family relatives can attend the funeral and give that person a dignified final farewell.
