Empty Homes

  • What is an empty property?

    Empty homes not only restrict housing supply, they also detract from the quality of the local environment and can cause significant problems for local residents.  Poorly maintained empty properties attract vermin, cause damp and other problems for neighbouring properties and are magnets for vandals, squatters, drug dealers and arsonists.

  • Bringing empty homes back into use

    A grant to encourage owners of properties that have been empty for in excess of 12 months to undertake all necessary works to improve them to the Decent Homes Standard and let them out at rent determined by the rent officer, to tenants nominated by the Council.
