About the BaR

The SAVE Britain’s Heritage Buildings at Risk register highlights historic buildings that are vacant and whose future is uncertain. Our central aim is to raise awareness of these forgotten buildings and provide a platform to advocate for their retention and reuse. 

SAVE has been compiling a register of Buildings at Risk since 1989 and it has been available online for almost 20 years to Friends and Saviours of SAVE. In 2025 we made access to the register free to all as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations. 

The register is not a list of buildings that are for sale, though where we are aware that a building is on the market, we indicate that. 

Information contained in the register is compiled using publicly available information from sources we consider to be reliable and is supplemented through contact with local residents, heritage professionals and officers at the local authority. None of the information is independently verified by SAVE and any details should be checked before placing reliance on them.

How to help a Building at Risk

Look out for our interactive Act Now! toolkit, containing advice on how to help buildings at risk, whether or not they are on our register. Coming soon!

Where we identify cases in which SAVE can actively intervene, we may write in support of listing applications, to oppose demolition plans, or to contact conservation officers or others to raise our concerns or suggest solutions.

Updates and corrections

We welcome corrections and updates at any time which can be submitted to us using the update button on the Buildings at Risk home page.

Entries are updated by us annually or at other times if we receive new information. Each entry therefore becomes a record of the building’s struggle to survive until it is either restored or lost.

New nominations

We welcome new nominations at any time. To nominate a building please click the nominate button on the Buildings at Risk home page and complete the form.

Contact

If you have any questions about the register or our work on buildings at risk, please contact Liz Fuller, our Buildings at Risk Officer on [email protected].
