What is endangered?
The cause(s) of why a place is considered to be endangered will vary, it may be from neglect, loss of curtilage, proposed redevelopment, lack of statutory protection or even as a result of natural disaster.

What properties are eligible?
The EHF is open to all significant and endangered properties, not just houses, both urban and rural, throughout New South Wales. To date, the majority of prospective properties have been within the greater Sydney area.

What criteria are used to assess potential properties?
The following criteria provide a framework for assessment of eligibility:

• Endangered: the property is threatened by development, demolition or vacancy.
• Significant: the property is either listed or is eligible for listing on a local, state or national register.
• Obtainable: the property’s current owner is willing to sell or donate the property to the EHF or use the EHF as a broker to sell the property.
• Marketable: the HHT believes a sympathetic buyer can be realistically located for the property.  Building type, condition, location and price are considered.
• Locally supported: the project has the support of local government and/or community groups willing to help market and safeguard the property.
• Education: the project has value as a documentation project.
