About Us

Set up in June 2023, Land Hero is on a mission to spotlight all the empty and derelict property worldwide.

By utilising our Land Hero app, we can turn ordinary people into Land Heroes wherever they are. Points are collected for updates of existing properties and new submissions.

App users can redeem the points for rewards or donate them back to the Land Hero charity fund.

The brainchild of Ben Tibbetts, he's intent on tackling the areas hardest hit by empty properties. Empty and derelict buildings often become a focus for antisocial behaviour — they should be a focus for regeneration, much-needed housing, community uses, and net zero opportunities.

Hero Testimonials

We love hearing from our heroes.

Land Hero community members
Loving this app! I'm totally committed to protecting our green spaces so being able to identify redundant properties and spaces within brownfield is fantastic.

Tanya Law — Land Hero

Since discovering Land Hero, I have realised what an innovative and extremely powerful resource it is. The app itself is so easy to use and the fact it pays you to submit sites is a welcome bonus. One of the key advantages for me is that it allows locals who know best to suggest how the site could be developed to enhance their community.
