Glasgow council officials are having to search abroad to track down empty home owners to make properties available for residents to live in.
People not being able to pay their mortgages, residents passing away and untraceable owners are among the issues leading to empty properties in Glasgow.
Between April 2019 and March 2022 the council has managed to bring 677 homes back into use again for residents. It employs three empty homes officers to tackle the blight of derelict buildings going to waste.
