Report a property

If a property is causing a danger right now, including a fire, you should call 999.

If the property:

has a pest problem, including rats or mice, contact our Customer Service team
has a structural problem, like a collapsed roof, email our Planning Enforcement team at enforcementteam@swale.gov.uk
is just empty, email our Empty Properties Officer at emptyproperty@swale.gov.uk

What happens next

Once you’ve report a problem to our Environmental Response or Planning Enforcement teams, we may:

arrange a visit
investigate your report
contact the owner
serve a notice on the property's owner
