Grantham Project: From Empty House to Forever Home

by | May 30, 2025

At Living Concepts, we’re on a mission to transform empty, unloved houses into safe, permanent homes for people facing homelessness or stuck in temporary accommodation.

Our latest project.

A long-term vacant 3-bed terrace in Grantham, which is about to undergo a full renovation to become a home for four people in need of stability and security.

More Than a Renovation – It’s Regeneration

This isn’t just about fixing up an old house. It’s about regenerating neighbourhoods, restoring community pride, and giving people the dignity of a permanent address. By breathing life back into long-empty properties, we’re helping to revitalise streets and reduce local homelessness.

This property has been empty for some time, but with the support of South Kesteven District Council (SKDC) and our incredible team, that’s about to change.

 

What’s Happening on Site

Our works include:

  • New windows and front door
  • Complete kitchen replacement
  • Full redecoration and flooring throughout
  • Fire doors and an integrated fire alarm system
  • Structural updates: removing fireplace and front room stud wall
  • Staircase repair, builders’ clean, and EICR certification
  • Optional dormer installation for a usable loft room
  • External relocation of the gas meter for better access and compliance

Total investment: just over £25,000.

And it’s all being delivered with full compliance in mind, ensuring this home is safe, secure, and fit for purpose for years to come.

 

Impact You Can See

We’re incredibly proud to be supporting SKDC’s efforts to drastically reduce homelessness in the district. No one should be without a home, and projects like this are a step towards a future where that’s a reality.

This is just one of many homes we’ll be transforming in the months ahead.
