Empty Homes

Empty homes can attract vandalism and anti-social behaviour, and are a wasted resource for both the owner and people that need a home - so we try to bring them back into use.

Own an empty home?

We're committed to help you and we can advise on:

Property inspections, work schedules and contractors
Grant assistance
Renting your property
Entering the Step Up Private Tenancy Scheme to help rent your property
Selling your property.

Things to consider

Full Council Tax may be payable on empty properties - you can find out more about this here.
We have powers to intervene and ensure properties are safe, secure, and do not adversely affect the community.

For advice on bringing empty homes back into use, you can contact us. Here are our contact details
