The council may buy properties to use as homes. This helps us support people who need housing.
Thinking about selling your property?
We welcome messages from property owners who want to sell. Email us at Property.Acquisitions@fife.gov.uk
To get started, you must send us a Home Report. This tells us about your property’s condition and value.
You should also include:
- your name
- property address
- type of property and number of bedrooms
- your phone number
- whether your property is on the market (add a link if it is)
What we look for
We will only consider your property if it helps meet housing needs. This may include:
- helping prevent homelessness
- providing more homes where they are needed most
- supporting housing projects or new developments
- meeting special housing needs (for example adapted homes)
- making better use of existing homes
How we decide
We look at each property carefully and on an individual basis. We will check:
- its condition (using the Home Report)
- where it is located
- local demand for housing
- size and number of bedrooms
We also consider the balance of housing in the area.
What happens next
A member of our team will review your information. We will contact you with advice and let you know if we can take it further. Not all enquiries lead to a viewing.
It's important to know that we do not buy every property. Each case is assessed individually and you may not receive an offer.
We usually buy ex-council homes, but we may consider others in some cases.
